Author Notes: I will start this by apologizing for the delay to release this chapter, Mega man X Collection came out and this game consumed my life, sorry. I just love X too much.
On a more serious note, you will see a few familiar names on this chapter, and I will ask that you don't judge it too much, wait until you read everything (the PS on the end too), then you can yell at me. ;)
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Cabba hesitantly walked close to Caulifla. He gave a quick glance over his shoulder, looking behind him. "Maybe is best if I just leave."
Caulifla slapped the back of his head, a vein popping on her forehead. "This is the only place right now, so just pipe down, geez."
Kale patted Cabba on the left shoulder and gave him a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, they will like you."
Cabba forced a smile on his lips, his shake legs are almost giving out on him. He stared one more time at the big house just ahead of them. "B-But, this is not how I imagined our first meeting would be like." Getting even more nervous, the young saiyan started to scratch the back of his head. "Man, how did I end up in this situation?"
In his mind, he started to remind himself again the chaotic events of a few hours earlier.
"I need you to come with me, NOW!" Beano raised his voice, in a way that Cabba has never witnessed before. The veteran soldier, who is always calm and a bit laid back, is now completely different.
"Mister Beano, what are you talking about?" Cabba took a step back. "Accused of killing the Queen… I don't get it."
Beano gritted his teeth in anger. "We don't have time for this." He grabbed Cabba by the left arm and started to walk out, pulling his comrade with him.
"Hey old man, what do you think you are doing?" Caulifla jumped back to her feet, charging at Beano.
The soldier stopped walking and turned to her abruptly. "You two, dammit. I almost forgot." He spun around looking at the corner of the street. "Follow me, NOW!"
The two saiyan girls traded glances, not understanding a thing, but when Beano started to drag Cabba away with him, they followed right after them.
Sneaking around the corner of the streets, the group made their way to the edge of the capital city; Beano gave a long breath of relief, noticing that no one had followed them.
"What is this about, old man?" Caulifla stomped her right foot in front of the veteran soldier.
"Like I said before, Cabba stand accused of murdering our Queen." Beano changed his sight to Cabba, a grim expression on his face. "The ace of the elite soldiers has murdered Sadala's queen, Arula."
"I didn't!" Cabba shouted. "I would never, the queen… I wouldn't…"
Beano placed a hand on his head, sliding it down to his face. "I know that." He said firmly. "The Cabba I know would never murder anyone like that."
"Then?!" Cabba jumped forward, desperately grabbing Beano's left arm.
"That doesn't change the fact that someone with your face killed our Queen." The senior soldier placed his right hand on his junior's head. "I trust you, my brother too… However, King Sadala on the other hand, is not in condition to see reason… Cabba, now you are the number one on the entire defense force wanted list."
"That can't be serious… I am a criminal now?" Cabba fell to his knees, punching the ground. "This can't be real."
"Right now, you just have to hide until we can make any sense of this." Said Beano, his eyes now focusing on the streets they came from.
"How can I hide?" Cabba yelled angrily. "I have to catch the real culprit; I have to do my duty as a soldier."
"Cabba look at me." Beano kneeled beside Cabba. "If they catch you, I won't be able to help you again. Even someone strong as you are, can't take on the entire defense force."
Cabba said nothing; he only lowered his head, hiding his eyes away from everyone else.
"I know a place where we can hide." Caulifla stepped closer to the two soldiers. "No soldier will find us there, well, at least for a while."
"Good." Beano straightened himself up. "I will leave it in your hands then." He walked away, but stopped before turning around the corner. "Take care of our ace, okay?"
The spiky haired girl grinned to the older soldier, putting both hands on her hips. "Of course I will."
Beano beaconed a bright smiled back to her, returning for a bit to his usual carefree demeanor, waving up his right arm to them, the older soldier disappeared quickly towards the city.
"Let's go you two." Caulifla said with a commanding voice. "No time to lose crying on the ground, soldier." She patted Cabba on the shoulder, making him raise his head. "Come." She smiled cheerfully to Cabba, grabbing his right hand and pulling him with her.
"Mom! Old man! I am back." Caulifla yelled jolting the front door open.
"Is this really okay?" Cabba said unconsciously.
Kale patted him on the back, pushing him forward inside the house. "J-Just be you, it is fine." She blushed a little and took her hands away from him, her own sudden casual touch on the young soldier's back, surprised Kale.
"Okay, okay… I can do this…" Cabba confidently stepped in, cruising onwards towards the living room.
"And just who the hell let you come back?" A loud and fierce feminine voice stormed from the other room, making Cabba jump back on surprise.
"Mom, what the heck?" Caulifla shouted at the same loud volume. "I thought you would be happy, with me being back."
Cabba continued his pace, now more hesitantly. He shyly walked to the side letting Kale pass by him. With shaking legs, the young soldier took a few more steps, turning fast the corner to enter the living room, just in time to catch the view of a heavy smack being delivery on Caulifla's head.
"Oouuch!" Caulifla yelped in pain, arching forward almost falling to ground. "What was that for?" She complained, slowly rubbing the top of her head with her left hand.
"You don't get to disappear without notice and come back here like nothing has happened." An older saiyan woman waved her fist wildly in front of Caulifla. "Maybe I should discipline you better, with some more hits in."
The woman, dressed with a casual red shirt and long loose orange skirt, looks a lot like Caulifla, from her black spiky hair to her narrow and yet big black eyes. Her face is a lot more mature, and yet it doesn't show much sights of aging. Cabba cannot believe that this woman is the mother of Caulifla and Renso.
"Now, now. No need to do that." An older man approached the woman, pulling her away from Caulifla. "She is finally back to us, let just cherish that."
Caulifla's father is a tall and muscular man with a very kind face. He has a black hair that extends quite a bit in a ponytail. He wears a white tunic in pair with a dark black hakama, like the one that Renso wears.
"She is that way because you pamper her too much." Caulifla's mother yelled in frustration.
"The problem is you, you are a crazy…" Caulifla's froze for a second after receiving a mortal glare from her mother. "A crazy mother…"
"Now, now. Stop that you two." Caulifla's father interject again. "You are making our guests uncomfortable."
The two woman turned their head to face Cabba and Kale; Caulifla got a strange expression on her face after remembering that Cabba was there the whole time. Her mother on the other hand stared at the two intensely.
"Little Kale, how have you been?" The woman greeted Kale with a cheerful smile on her lips.
"I-I am fine. Thank you for asking, Miss Reylas." The shy girl bowed her head to both of Caulifla's parents, greeting them with respect.
"And who are you, young man?" Reylas asked Cabba, still holding the smile on her lips.
"I-I-I am one of captain's Renso students." Cabba bowed his head, freaking out of his mind. "Is very so much nice to meet both of you."
Kale giggled silently at the scene, Caulifla on the other hand stormed out a thundering laugh, making everybody stare at her in astonishment.
"He is my lover." Caulifla said nonchalantly, wiping some tears of her eyes.
"Ca-ca-Caulifla! What are you saying?" The soldier turned pale, his eyes racing between Caulifla and her parents.
"What? We are." She said frowning.
"But, why did you say lovers?" Cabba is now almost fainting. "That sounded so weird."
Caulifla rubbed the back of her head, a thinking expression on her face. "Okay, how this sounds." She turned to her parents with a boasting smirk. "Cabba is my man."
"Gah!" Cabba took a fatal hit, he fell to the ground, forgetting any chance of making a good impression on the Saiyan couple.
"You… kid." Reylas called Cabba, now with a very serious expression on her face.
"Yes, ma'am!" Cabba jumped back on his feet in instants, with a full salutation motion.
"Is this true?" Caulifla's mother stared with a searing glare to the young soldier.
"Y-Yes, ma'am." Cabba felt his whole body get completely stiff, almost turning into stone.
"Poor thing." Reylas took both hands to her chest, looking sympathetically to Cabba. "Are you sure that you want this as your girlfriend?" She pointed at her daughter.
"Hey old hag, is that how you talk about me?" Caulifla stomped her right foot on the floor.
Reylas smacked the top of her head again, now with even more strength. "Who are you calling old hag?"
"Sheesh, can't you two stop fighting?" Caulifla's father took his right hand to his face. "Well, nice to meet you, Cabba. My name is Shallos, Caulifla's and Renso's father." Shallos smiled sincerely to Cabba.
"Nice to meet you too sir." Cabba beamed with happiness. He walked forward, greeting Caulifla's father properly.
"Now, now. No need to be so formal." Shallos put his right hand on the soldier's left shoulder. "Caulifla is a bit wild, but she is very sweet girl, don't you agree?"
Cabba looked to the side, glancing at Caulifla's face, his lips curved in a smile. "I think so too, sir."
"Haha, a young man with good eyes." Shallos put the other hand on Cabba's right shoulder. "Now, now. What is this about lovers?" For some reason Cabba felt that the man was growing in size, making him twice as big and twice as scary.
He looked to the side again, now pleading with his eyes for help. Caulifla laughed at the event unfolding, while her mother shook her head looking at her husband. 'Did I make a good impression?' Cabba asked himself, not sure if he should run away from Shallos's grasp or just took it as a joke from the older man.
"I promise to make her very happy, sir!" Cabba yelled in a robotic way.
The room went silent for a moment and then everyone else started to laugh. Cabba turned bright red in embarrassment.
"What was that?" Caulifla walked to his side, patting him on the back. "Now that you are done asking for my hand, why don't we explain things properly to them?"
Still red as a tomato, Cabba only nodded, letting Caulifla take the lead, starting to tell to her parents about their circumstances and everything they need to know. 'This is going to be such a long day.' Cabba started to wonder, if everything is really going to be okay.
A group of five soldiers, raced across the ruins of a city, they are wearing black clothes, black helmet on their head and in their chest a heavy metallic vest with a double C logo in it. Each one of them carries in their hands a type of long metallic gun. They ran in between the collapsed buildings, sneaking from their enemies.
The soldier leading the group stopped suddenly, raising one arm up. "Look out, up ahead." He whispered to the others.
A few meters ahead of them, a group of huge and muscular pink aliens crossed the streets, growling and pounding the ground in feral anger. They demolish a couple of houses in their path, before marching to another area.
A young soldier held his weapon with some trouble, his arms and legs trembling with fear. "W-What we do now, captain?" The youngster asked.
The captain placed his weapon on the ground, against a collapsed building close to him. "This is scary, right?" He walked closer to the boy, taking his helmet out. The captain is a man with long messy black hair with bangs falling on his forehead, his black eyes and natural kind smile are very expressive, but his more noticeable feature is his cross shaped scar on his left cheek.
"What is your name, friend?" The captain asked.
"K-Kold." The boy responded, his legs shaking less and less.
"Ok, Kold. I know that it is scary to be out here for the first time, but just trust in your comrades and we will make through this." The captain patted the young soldier on his right shoulder.
"Yeah kid, stick with me and you will be a badass soldier before too long." Another soldier said full of confidence.
"Hah, that is true." Laughing and waving his hand, the captain made his way to the other soldier. "Kitsune here peed his pants on his first time, now look how badass he is."
Even with his helmet still on, everybody could feel the annoyed expression on the soldiers face. "Come on, Yamcha… Was that part really necessary?"
"I told you, I will tell this story to everyone that I meet in my life." Yamcha smirked playfully. He walked back to his previous spot and grabbed his weapon. "Can I count on you, Kold?"
Kold held his weapon close to his chest, clenching his fingers on the metallic rifle. "Yes, sir." His hesitation faded way, even if he still holds a bit of fear in his heart, the boy feels a lot of confidence growing inside him.
"Good." Captain Yamcha winked at him. He put the helmet back on and turned his gaze to the streets again. "We need to march to the main hideout; our leader need to know what is happening out here."
Yamcha jumped out of his cover and ran towards the ruined buildings on the other side; the rest of the group soon followed him. They continued to march their way, evading any contact with the strange enemies that arrived on their planet.
"Is the food any good?" Reylas placed another bowl of food on the table.
"Mnyeah." With food in his mouth, Cabba grunted a response to her.
"Sorry for only having leftovers, but if someone had told me that she was coming with guests, I would have made more food." The woman shot a glare at her daughter.
Caulifla snatched the recent placed bowl of rice and pulled it closer to her face. "Your food is always great, leftover or not." She then started to devour the food like a mad woman.
Shallos came back to the dining room, with a cup of hot tea in his hand, he pulled a chair close to Cabba, siting close to the young soldier. "You said that Renso was your mentor, right?" The old saiyan took a sip of his tea, his eyes never looking away from Cabba.
Cabba got startled at first, but quickly calmed down. After speeding some hours with Caulifla's father, he learned that the man is one of the kindest person he has ever met, despite his larga and intimidating body. "Yes, sir." Cabba put his bowl of rice down on the table. "Captain Renso was the one that taught me everything I know about being a soldier. Without him, I don't think I would be the soldier I am today."
"Now, now. You are praising him a bit too much, don't you think?" The large man let a rowdy laugh, not hiding at all the pride he feels of his son.
"I am being honest, sir. Captain Renso is a great man, that I very much respect." Cabba's words made Shallos smile even more.
"I wish that idiotic son of mine would come home too." Reylas clicked her tongue, annoyed at her son absence.
Caulifla snorted, almost choking with a laugh. "He doesn't come over because he is scared of the old-" Reylas hit the table with a lot of strength, making the young trio jump on their seats. "S-Scared of mom…" Caulifla quickly hid her face behind her bowl of rice.
"What is there to be scared of?" The old woman hissed. "I am ever the loving mother."
"You keep hitting us, that is why you are scary." Caulifla dropped the empty bowl on the table with a lot of force. She can't decide if she gets angry or scared. "And you don't know your strength. It hurts a lot to keep getting hit by you."
Reylas slapped the table once again, making the bowls fly in the air. "You keep doing stupid shit, that is why I keep hitting you."
Cabba cowered in his seat, he took a glance to the side only to see Shallos giggling to the scene. 'They are so alike, that it is frightening.' He looked to mother and daughter, both arguing without end in sight.
"Little Kale, I assume you are going to stay here too?" Shallos asked, taking his attention away from the fight.
"Yeah, she is going to." Caulifla said very loudly, before Kale could try do deny and leave.
"Good, young Cabba here can stay on Renso's old room and little Kale can stay with you in your room." The man stood up from his seat, cracking his aching shoulders.
"Whaaat?!" Caulifla let a disheartened sigh.
"I believe that is a good arrangement, right young Cabba?" Shallos leaned in closer to Cabba, putting his right hand on the young saiyan's shoulder.
"A-A-Absolutely, sir. Nothing could be more perfect than that, ha-ha…" Cabba jumped out of his seat and bowed his head in front of the big man. "For accepting me here and even giving me food. Thank you, both of you." He turned and bowed to Reylas too.
"Now, now. No need for that, just focus on cleaning your name." Shallos looked to Caulifla gesturing with his head. "It is getting dark already, so why don't you show your friends their rooms?"
"Fiiine. Follow me you two." Caulifla stood up from her seat and walked pass her father, going directly to the hallway, the other two soon followed her.
"She could at least have helped me clean up the table." Reylas complained, rolling her eyes to the side.
"I will help you with that, dear." Shallos walked over to his wife, embracing her from behind.
"I need help with the dishes…" Her voice came out a lot sweeter than usual, she then slapped lightly on the man's arm.
"Oh, yeah… That too." Shallos smiled and walked over to the table, picking up the dishes.
The old couple walked together to the kitchen, both enjoying a bit of silence and calm time together. Since their noisy daughter is back home, the house is going to get a lot more hectic than usual.
With the sun light now being completely gone, Cabba sat on a wooden chair, close to a big window on the living room. He kept staring outside, while tinkering with his thoughts inside his mind.
"What are you doing here, by yourself?" Caulifla entered the room and walked over to his side. "Seeing something good outside?" She pressed her face against the window's glass, looking at the darkness outside.
Still lost in his mind, the young soldier looked to his girlfriend, her beautiful face brought a short lived smile to his lips. "After today this whole mission and problem changed to me." Cabba put his left hand on Caulifla's hips, pulling her to a hug. "Someone close died, I mean I didn't even know the queen but she…"
"His mother, right?" Caulifla added.
"What I am going to say to him, how will he feels when he is back?" Cabba slowly pushed her away from their embrace. "What if was with me?" He looked up, staring into Caulifla's eyes. "What if I had lost my family or even you?"
"Don't start with this again." Caulifla grabbed him by the shoulders, shaking his body back and forward. "You will not leave me behind and go fight alone, do you hear me?"
"I-I am going to fight too…" Kale walked in, holding her hands together. "And we will not lose anybody else."
"You heard her, so quit being down." Caulifla smirked and shuffled Cabba's hair with her right hand.
"You two…" Cabba smiled seeing how much support he gets from them. 'I am glad that you two are here with me.' A soft knock on the wall close to Cabba, made his body stiffen, then he heard a second one.
"Kale, help me tomorrow in finding this imposter Cabba." Caulifla walked over to her friend.
"Sure, sis." Kale immediately responded, with a smile.
Cabba stood still, his attention now entirely on the wall next to him, then another sequence of knocks identical to the previous one, confirmed the soldier's suspicion. He stood up from his seat, and quickly started to make his way out of the room.
"Where are you going?" Cailifla asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I need a bit of water, don't worry." Giving a parting reassuring smile, Cabba turned to the hallway and in his path to the kitchen, he made a turn to the entrance of the house.
He stopped with a hand on the doorknob, he hesitated for a moment, should he call his friends or should he go out alone, he couldn't decide, and yet his hands turned, opening the door. He felt a single drop of cold sweat glide on his neck, with a couple of short legged steps, he went outside and closed the door behind him.
A low whistle came from his left side. "Over here." Cabba turned his head and caught the sight of Coorin sitting on the ground, leaning his back against a tree.
Cabba quietly made his way to his friend, but not dropped his guard even for a second. "How did you find me here?" he asked with a frown in his forehead.
"That was quite hard, but thankfully Janola is the best tracker on the force." Coorin stood up from ground.
"Yo." Janola appeared from behind Cabba.
"So this is captain Renso's old house, huh?" Coorin whistled again. "And to think that your criminal girlfriend is the little sister of our teacher."
Cabba held his head low, not sure of what he should do. "What are you guys doing here?"
"You see, that is a very strange story." The small saiyan soldier gestured with his hands. "Me and my good buddy here were on our way to the spaceport when we heard a commotion in the palace."
"A very big commotion." Janola said, running his left hand on his coat.
"When we get there, old man Greeno was all beat up and going all crazy, saying that someone that looks exactly like you, killed our queen."
"I didn't… I did not murder anyone." Cabba raised his voice a little, giving a few steps away from saiyan duo.
"I never said you did." Coorin frowned, annoyed at his friend reaction.
"Greeno said that someone that looks like you did it, not that you did the deed." Janola jumped in.
"And that is a very important fact, since he went out of his way to specify it." Coorin pointed with his right index finger. "We know what is using you image to do bad shit."
Cabba sprinted forward, grabbing Coorin by the shoulders. "You know who was it?"
"I said we know what it is, not who." Coorin pulled Cabba's arms away. "And don't grab me, I have to deal with a lot of thing later, because of this."
"Ahem, anyway." Janola tapped Cabba on the arm to get his attention. "What is using your body image is most likely a shapeshifter." He put both hands on his cheeks and pulled them, in a form of visual example.
"Once we had to deal with a shifter thing and it was a bitch to deal with." Coorin spat in annoyance. "He kept getting us separated and using Janola's appearance to trick me. It was very annoying."
"I remember you saying that it was a blast, to get a chance beat the hell of a copy of me." Janola saying frowning.
"I would never say that… And that is beside the point." Coorin slapped his partner in the arm. "The point is that we know that you didn't do anything wrong and we have an idea of what is trying to frame you."
"I… I am sorry for doubting you guys." Cabba bowed his head in apology.
"I would do the same in your shoes, so no hard feelings." Janola said with a smile.
"We didn't waste half a day trying to find you just to be nice to each other." Coorin took a piece of paper from his pocket and pulled in front of Cabba. "Before it was just a hypothesis, but now we know for sure where our little prince is being kept."
"What?! Where?" Cabba grabbed the paper and started to read it immediately. "Reports on a distress call from Earth? Earth?! He is on Earth!?"
"Correct." Janola responded. "Way too many leads point to that planet."
"Aaand we came here to ask if you want to go there with us." Snatching the paper from Cabba's hand, Coorin smirked to him. "What do you say?"
"Wait just a moment!" Caulifla's voice echoed from a window. She jumped outside, pulling Kale with her. "If he is going anywhere, we are going too."
"YOU!" Coorin jumped forward, battle stance ready.
"Later I deal with you princess, now we talk about you guys taking us too." Caulifla walked past Coorin, grabbing Janola by the arm. "And that is final, you hear me?"
With at least three veins popping in his forehead, Coorin walked very slowly to Caulifla, with his fists twitching, but his partner, who held his left arm, stopped him again.
"I don't mind, the more fighters the better, we don't know what we will find there." Janola pulled Coorin to his side, holding the raging small saiyan. "But first we need to steal the king's ship."
"We need to do what?" Cabba shouted in confusion.
"Heh, fine by me." Caulifla smirked contentedly. "Never is too late to hit a big score."
"I-It is okay to do that?" Kale asked timidly.
"No that is not okay, but we don't have a choice." Janola said. "The planet is too far away and his ship is the only one that can get us there in a matter of hours."
"First being accused of killing the queen, now I am actually going to rob the king… I am so dead." Cabba crouched and whimpered in sorrow.
"Alright, let's go do this!" Caulifla flew off to the sky.
"Wait, shouldn't we tell your parents that we are leaving?" Cabba yelled, but to no avail, since Caulifla was far-gone now.
"Does she at least knows where the ship is?" Coorin asked.
"We better catch up to her, or she may end up showing in the palace." Cabba flew after her, Kale followed after him.
"I already miss the times were we did things alone." Coorin took off after Cabba, with a smirking Janola going with him.
From inside the house, on the big window of the living room, both Reylas and Shallos stood watching the group leaving their house.
"Did she just leave without telling us again?" Reylas asked ironically, a vein popping on her forehead.
"She did, hahaha." Shallos wrapped his left arm on his wife waist, a big smile on his lips.
"Don't you laugh, that is why she is like that." Reylas smacked her husband on the back of the head. "Next time she shows up; she will have a piece of my mind."
"I can't believe this; I really can't believe this… I going to have a heart attack." Cabba walked back and forward on the halls of the second floor of the giant royal spaceship.
"Can you calm down; you are making me nervous." Coorin yelled in an aggravated voice. He paced forward, getting on the door to the flight deck; he turned his head to look at Caulifla and Kale. "I will help Janola pilot this thing; you guys keep him calm and don't enter this room, please." He pointed to the door in front of him.
"And why is that?" Caulifla shot a dirty look at him. "Going to flirting with your friend in there and don't want us in the way?"
"Do you know how hard it is to pilot a ship of this size?" The small soldier slapped the wall on his side. "You annoying voice is only going to make it more difficult, so refrain yourself from entering the flight deck." He pressed a button on the side, opening the metal door; then stormed his way inside, closing the door behind him.
"Did I hit a nerve?" Caulifla giggled and showed her tongue out to the already closed door.
"You really don't like him, huh?" Cabba asked with a smile on his lips.
"Not really, he just get worked up really fast and it is funny." She scanned hall with her eyes and whistled in admiration. "From outside this ship looks big, but from inside it almost feels bigger than one of those big buildings." A devilish grin appeared on her face. "Why don't we see what is has to offer?"
Cabba shook his head, in other circumstances he would love to explore the ship, but doing it while stealing the vessel, that is just too much for him. "Please, Caulifla. We just want to go to Earth the fastest as possible, we don't need to do anything more that will create more trouble with the king."
"Pshht, I don't care about making more trouble with the king." She put both arms behind her head and started to walk towards the stairs on the end of the hall. "I will see what we can get; you guys do whatever you want."
"Sometimes she really can be stubborn…" Cabba gave a low sigh; he knows that when Caulifla wants something, no one can convince her otherwise. "Kale, can you make sure that she will not break anything?"
"Ah… N-No." She giggled, walking slowly towards the stairs too. "But I will stay with her." Kale increased the speed of her steps, and quickly vanished up the stairs.
Cabba turned the other way, walking to the 'forbidden' flight deck; he opened the sliding metal door and walked inside the room. Coorin only turned his head for a second to see who had entered the room, he is sitting in front of the far left console, Janola who is sitting in front the central panel, turned his chair, giving his full attention to Cabba.
"So how is it?" Cabba asked. He glanced at the big monitor behind Janola, seeing only numbers going up and down.
"It is ready to leave, but when we took off, they will know that someone stole this ship." Janola pointed to the other monitor on the empty console to his right. "Coorin is working on opening the gate, when he get that done we will leave."
"Are you okay? I mean, this is not something normal to you guys." Cabba has a flash of guilty on his eyes.
"Haha, I am freaking out to be honest with you." Janola smiled cheerfully. "I never met prince Asparus, so he is just a name to me. But he seems like an important person to you." The big soldier brushed his hair, not used to this type of talk. "It would take too long to reach him with a normal spaceship and then it would be too late."
"And if that troubles you, then it troubles us as well." Coorin said from his seat. "There is no way that we would leave a friend in need alone, dumbass." He gave a sly smirk after his last remark.
Cabba stood in silence, without words to respond back to his friends. He noticed Janola lift his fist up, placing it in front of him. "Thank you, guys. It is amazing to see that you two didn't change in the slightest after years." He bumped his own left fist on Janola's, giving his friend a big smile in return.
"Now get your ass out of here, I just finished with the gate." Coorin hissed.
"Go warn the two girls, when the ship take off it will get a bit wild inside." Janola turned his seat to face the console again.
Cabba quickly walked out of the deck, he jogged his way to the stairs, trying to get ahold of the two saiyan girls. "Caulifla, Kale. We will leave now, get prepared to-" Suddenly he felt the whole space around him shift and the floor below his feet disappearing for a moment. The electric roar of the engines announced the stabilization of the spaceship, letting him put his feet on the floor again.
A huge crashing noise came from upstairs. "Goddamit, what the hell was that?" Caulifla's loud and angry voice came right after.
"And she broke something." Cabba first frowned, and then he started to laugh by himself. No matter the situation, Caulifla for sure has a way of lifting the spirit of everyone.
Various lights started to flick out of nowhere, siren noises echoed from all four sides, startling everyone present on the large room.
"What is happening?" A blue haired woman, wearing a long white coat, ran inside the room.
"Something new has activate the space radar." A scientist woman pointed to the main monitor.
"Another ship?" A group of soldier entered the room, from the same door as the blue haired woman.
"This can't be good." Yamcha who is leading the group of soldiers, said while rubbing his left cheek. "What do we do, Bulma?" he turned to face the woman at his side.
"We don't know what that is yet, but we need to." The head scientist took a small round gadget from her lab coat pocket and gave it to the Captain. "Take as many soldier as you need, but you need to get there before the Red Ribbon or that barbarian Queen."
"Yes, ma'am." Yamcha saluted his leader and stormed out of the room, the group of soldier whom were with him all followed him closely.
"What is the plan, leader?" Asked a grizzled scientist.
"Ever since that first ship came down on the planet everything has been chaotic, even more than before." Bulma bit her thumb nail, frowning with a thoughtful expression. "If they are not together, we can use them to shift things to our side."
"I hope the captain return safe." A scientist woman gave a long and depressed sigh, staring at the door from where the soldiers left.
"Yamcha can take care of himself, so stop whining and focus on your job." Bulma glance at the blueprints displayed on a big white board to the side of the room. "We need to finish this; we can't have a repeat of that explosion happening here. I will not let them kill us a second time."
"WHY THE HELL ARE YOU TWO NAKED?" Coorin flapped his hands into the air, tossing a towel into the young saiyan couple.
"Coorin, is not what you are thinking." Cabba grabbed the towel, covering Caulifla exposed body. "We were just taking a shower, I swear."
"Hm… Shower." Caulifla giggled, pressing her face against Cabba's neck.
"I can't believe this, two hours have passed, only two hours. How horny can you two be?" The pale white skin of the small saiyan's face, has now turned almost completely red.
"Man, I being am serious here. It was just a shower." Cabba suddenly yelped when Caulifla blew softly in his neck.
"Hey, why are you taking so long…" Janola appeared on the door, a blank expression on his face. "Why are you two naked in the king's room?"
"Please, just leave." Cabba hid his face on Caulifla's hair.
"Sure… I just wanted to say, that we have arrived on Earth…" Janola stumbled to the side, when Coorin pulled him out of the room with him. "Seriously, why are they naked THERE?" Janola whispered to Coorin.
"Why do you make me do these things?" Cabba complained in a defeated tone of voice.
Caulifla burst into a fit of laughter. "You can't say that you aren't having fun in there." She pointed to a small door that leads to a private bathroom. "And you are the one who started kissing me after we got out."
'Because you are so goddamn pretty.' Cabba sighed and patted his girlfriend on the back. "We need to get dressed, they are waiting us."
After a few minutes getting dressed and the non-stop flirt from Caulifla's part, they made their way to the main deck, where Kale, Coorin and Janola are waiting for them. Kale who most certainly heard all the commotion from just now, smiled a bit embarrassed to them. Coorin stood still pouting and looking at the exit door waiting for it to open, and for last Janola stared at them with a confused expression on his face, Cabba couldn't hear it, but he is sure that Janola asked in a low voice 'Why there?
After the metallic platform hit the ground, the big door slid open, revealing the sight of a ruined city. Coorin stepped out first, shielding his eyes from the morning sun light, he felt the scent of ashes and smoke fill his lungs, making him cough. "This place is worse than I imagined."
The rest of the group followed behind him, putting their feet on the dirty ground of the planet. Kale glanced to the sides, a bad sensation coming to her head.
Janola quickly jumped in front of Coorin, widening his arms to the sides. "We got company."
A yellow beam laser fired to the side of them, hitting the ground close to the ship. In a matter of seconds, a group of soldiers dressed in black appeared from behind a building wreckage. "Do not move or we will fire." One of the soldiers yelled.
"The hell?" Caulifla took a step forward, but Cabba stopped her with his left arm.
One of the soldiers put his weapon to the side and walked a bit closer to the saiyan group. "Sorry for being rude, but in here you can never be too safe." The soldier took his helmet off, a gentle grin in his face. "So, who are you guys?"
Janola stepped forward, making the other soldiers all tense up, aiming their guns at him. The captain raised his hand making them stop. "We are saiyan soldiers from Sadala's Defense Force." The big saiyan stopped a few steps from the captain. "My name is Janola, nice to meet you."
"Saiyans?!" Yamcha looked at Janola, surprised. "The space police?"
"You know about us?" Cabba asked.
"Oh yeah." Yamcha responded. "I had an encounter with a saiyan before. He was a nice guy." The captain extended his hand a goofy smile on his face. "If you guys are saiyans, then you are very much welcomed here. We can use the help."
A red beam crossed between Janola and Yamcha, hitting the ground next to them. "Stop right there!" Another group of people appeared from the other side, in this one everyone is wearing a purple coat on top of fire red clothes, carrying on the back a sword and wielding in their hands long rifles.
Yamcha retreated his hand back, and frowning he let out a disappointed sigh. "Come on, baldy. Can't you see that I am making new friends here?"
"And how is that any good to us, black wolf?" The one in command of the arriving troops walked forward, his bald head shining with the sun light. "Who are these people?"
"Saiyans, at least they claim to be saiyans." Yamcha said.
"Saiyans?! Then we really can't ignore them." The bald man turned to Janola, putting his weapon down. "Name is Krillin, nice to meet ya."
Janola nodded with his head in response.
A thunderous stomping sound echoed from further ahead of the city, making everyone jump in surprise. "They are coming too." Krillin said, staring at the shaking buildings to the right.
"I will take the saiyans to our base, you can show up there later." Yamcha said, putting his helmet back.
"Huh?! Why your base? Are you trying to pull one on me?" The bald man yelled.
"Because it is closer, moron." Yamcha yelled back.
"Tsk, whatever you say… The fire queen will not be happy with this." Krillin turned around and ran back to his men, quickly they disappeared towards the ruined city.
"Let's go guys." Yamcha called his men, who came running to his side.
"Wait a minute, I just stood here watching this stupid act, but I will not stay quiet and follow you anywhere." Coorin said, crossing his arms in front of his chest.
"Sorry to impose, but you guys really need to come with us." Yamcha bend his head to the left to look at Coorin. "You don't want to deal with the thing that is coming here."
"And what about our very expensive and totally not stolen ship?" Caulifla pointed back.
"One moment, I think I have one here." Yamcha shuffled the pocket of his pants and took out a small capsule. "This will do the trick." He pressed the button on top of it and threw at the spaceship, a big white light engulfed the royal vessel making the entire ship shake. After a few moments the ship disappeared in a pink colored smoke.
"What the hell?" Coorin yelled. "You destroyed our ship!"
"No-no." Yamcha waved his hands and ran past the saiyans, entering the mess of pink smoke. He then came out with a small capsule in his hands. "I just put it inside this capsule, a very useful thing, but only works with machinery." He tossed the capsule to Coorin, who grabbed it midair.
"Captain, they are very close now." One soldier shouted.
"Tsk. Please follow me." Yamcha dashed his way around a street in the opposite direction of the loud noises, all his soldiers soon followed him.
The Saiyan group traded glances for a moment, not sure if they should follow him, but then Caulifla ran forward going after the soldiers.
"Let the fools take the charge." Coorin shook his head and ran after her.
With the two already on the move, the rest followed then. If the earthlings are friends or enemies, they can't tell, but after the warning from the captain Yamcha, whatever is making this much noise is now a very scary thing in their mind.
Sitting on top of a mountain, Negi held his hands on top of his lap. His eyes keep staring at the movements very far away in the ruins of a city. 'They are here.' He smiled in joy, imagining how their next meeting will be like.
"Negi, what are you doing?" With a flash of red light, Seigyro appeared behind Henkanegi.
"Say Seigyro, doesn't this place reminds you of home?" Negi bent his head backwards, looking at his comrade.
"How so?" The red alien stared at the view in front of him.
"Well, look at where we stand, so peaceful and natural, on the other hand just up ahead you can see the marks of war and strife." Negi took a handful of dirty from the ground and tossed forward. "The perfect balance."
"I only remember the war part." Seigyro smirked.
Feeling a bit annoyed, Negi laid his back on the ground. "Did you finish it?" He asked coldly.
"Yes, just finished it a moment ago." Seigyro made a triangle with his hands. "It is sealed on his head; he can't take it off."
Negi smiled. "Good." He stood up turning his eyes away from the ruining city, to the view of completely ruined barren fields on his back. "I wonder." He giggled. "I wonder how they will react after seeing their good friend."
"Happiness all around, I am sure." Seigyro said with a malicious smile.
"Hahah, yeah so much happiness." Negi patted his friend on the shoulder. "Come Seigyro, let's spread some happiness around this planet."
P.S: Hey, nice to see you down here on the P.S side of things. Yamcha, Krillin, Bulma. Now you know the names I was talking about, and maybe you are thinking, "Why did you use the original names for the U6 version of them?", and the anwser is that it felt better than making a new name. And I am horrible making new names, so it would never be better than the originals. Hope you guys don't mind it too much.

Oserix chapter 11 . Jul 22 – I didn't understand a thing, But I will keep making the buns to sell like jalopy.
VcArchangel chapter 11 . Jul 23 – I know right, I want to punch Negi too, damn shapeshifter. And I only read parts of the DBS manga, but I know it is different (and better) than the anime, someday I will have to stop and read it from beginning to end.
God-Splitter chapter 11 . Jul 31 – Thank you, I am always thinking of different things to put in to make it better.
