Episode 3: Sayian Home Life

Narrator: Previously on Team Chronicle: The group, surrounded by a Sayian patrol, were forced to fight their way out. Running from a Great Ape, the group used their new Ki Clone technique to escape. Now stranded on Planet Vegeta, Mark relied on the guidance of the Holy Spirit to lead them somewhere safe. Thereafter, they found themselves in the capital city, in front of the house of a female Sayian named Gine. But are the Eds truly safe?

Mark: Nice to meet you as well Gine. Is it okay if we stay in your house for a little while?

Ed: Yeah, everyone on this planet is trying to kill us.

Mark, Eddy, & Double D: ED!

Gine: Wait, what does he mean?

Mark: *sigh* (Darn it Ed…) Well, we're…um…explores from another galaxy. We were passing through when our ship had a malfunction & crashed landed. Just as we got out, a patrol found us & assumed we were invaders. We had to defend ourselves &…well…they may have took our ship & now, we're stuck here until we can get it back.

Gine: I see. Well, you're all welcome to stay here until you get your ship back. I'll explain your situation with my husband when he gets back & he can talk to the king about getting your ship returned.

Mark: Thank you.

Double D: Yes, thank you Gine!

Gine: It's no trouble; I can't imagine you kids wanting to invade a planet, let alone this one! Please come in; my son & I were just about to have dinner.

Ed: Yay! Ed hungry!

(Gine leads the group in. Once inside, they are met with a combination of advanced technology & primitive décor.)

Double D: I must say, this house has a unique decoration style; I never thought that advanced technology & natural decoration could blend together so well.

Gine: This is unique? Every home on Planet Vegeta is like this; except the palace, of course.

?: Mother, who are these…things?

(The group turns to see a young boy with unnaturally long black spiky hair. He eyes the group with suspicious eyes.)

Gine: Raditz, be nice; these are guests.

Mark: It's okay; I suppose Sayians don't take to well to other species.

Raditz: Know your place, fool! The Sayians are the most powerful warriors in the universe! I'm surprised you were brave enough to even enter our system.

Gine: Raditz, please set some more places for our guests.

Raditz: Why should I? Surely I outmatch them in power!

Gine: Perhaps, but I outmatch you in this house. So please, set them some places for them.

Raditz: But Mother –

Gine: Raditz, don't make me ask again.

Raditz: (Grumbles to himself.) Very well.

(Raditz starts setting some spaces out for the group.)

Gine: I'm sorry. Raditz plans on being a warrior; one of the qualifications seems to be looking down on other species.

Mark: It's okay; sticks & stones & all. (Raditz…why does that name sound familiar?)

(Ten minutes later, everyone has gathered for dinner. Gine & Raditz have five times as much food as the boys & are inhaling it.)

Eddy (thinking): Man, these guys make Lumpy look like someone on a diet.

Mark: So Gine; your husband is a warrior?

Gine: Yes, that's right. He's a low-class warrior, which means that he's in the lowest rank of warriors.

Raditz: Hmph. Make no mistake! My father is a powerful Sayian. He has command of one of the best squads of low-class warriors & soon, I'm sure the king will take notice & make him an elite warrior!

Mark: Well, I'm sure that's something to look forward to. So, what exactly do Sayian warriors do?

Gine: Well, our entire species works for the Frieza Force, an organization that is led by a species known as the Frost Demons. As you can probably tell, it's run by Frieza, the "Emperor of the Universe", as he calls himself. He sends warriors to planets full of life, & the Sayians destroy any & all traces of civilization on the planet so it can be sold on the Planet Trade Economy.

Double D: What?! That's horrible! Your husband commits genocide as a job?!

Gine: DON'T SAY THAT ABOUT BARDOCK! (Pauses for a moment.) I'm sorry. It's just that…well, you're right. It is horrible. But my husband is a good person. He acts like he enjoys it, but deep down, I know he wants the Sayians to be free from that tyrant Frieza just as much as any other Sayian.

Raditz: Soft as ever mother. But it doesn't matter; once the Legendary Super Sayian arrives, Frieza is finished.

Mark: Legendary Super Sayian?

Raditz: You've never heard of the legend? You're dumber than I thought. Legends say that one day, a Sayian with a power level higher than any other Sayian in history will rise & defeat Frieza.

Double D: Interesting. Does the legend say anything else?

Gine: No. King Vegeta is certain that his son is the chosen one, but that's what the previous king said about King Vegeta; besides, the prince's power level is no higher than any other Sayian child his age.

(Just then, the group hears the sound of a door opening.)

Gine: Oh! Bardock's back! One moment, I'll be right back.

(Gine goes to greet her husband.)

Eddy: Uh…Mark? Should we be worried?

Mark: I'm not sure. God wouldn't have led me here if it was dangerous. Let's just act friendly & respectful.

Eddy: Easy for you to say! I don't like the way Spiky's looking at me.

(Eddy is looking at Raditz, who is eyeing the group smugly. Just then, Gine comes back in, with Bardock right behind her. His hair is unkempt & he has sharp eyes. He also has a scar on his left cheek & dark blue & green Battle Armor.)

Bardock: It's going to be a few days before my team is sent out, so –

(He stops as he sees the group. There is silence for at least ten seconds.)

Mark: Uh…hi?
