Author: "AUTHOR NOTE TIME! To begin, I want to apologize for this chapter. It's not bad, per say, neither is it filler. It's just obscenely GORY. Like, you probably haven't seen anything this violent in this fic since Sakura killed Frostbitter. So for those who are weak on the heart and have very vivid imagination, I suggest you read till one point, and when it starts getting nasty skip to the end. The chapter itself, however, is filled with action and fighting, so for those looking for bad-assery, you hopefully won't be disappointed! ... random point, ain't it funny how kids are not supposed to say the 'a' word, but it is perfectly fine for publishers to majorly advertise their movie 'Kick-Ass?' Whatevs, read, review, follow, fave, do whatchu wanna do."

Lost Origin: A Saiyan's Quest

Bam: "Psst! Bro, it's cold in here. Like, REALLY cold!"

Boom: "What d'ya want me to do about it, use my MAGICAL weather powers?"

Bam: "You have weather powers?!"

Boom: "Bro, it was a joke."

Bam: "OH! ... Bro, it's still really cold in here."

Boom: "I know, rite-pffthehehehehe!"

Bam: "Bro, I think I see 'em!"

Boom: "Alright, stalkin' time!"

Chapter 41: The Hound's Thirst for Blood

After an exhausting battle as Great Apes, Sakura and Scorzette continued west, rapidly approaching their fourth Dragon Ball. They had entered into a dark, snowy field, which was very odd because just recently they were zooming across a desert. Disregarding the scenery, our heroes kept hovering through the snow on the Wind Shark, with the Thief Thugs sneakily following them on their motorcycle. As curiosity filled their minds, the Saiyans stopped, and began scanning the area.

Scorzette: "Hut!" *jumps off Wind Shark* *catches Wind Shark* "Alright, let's look around, we might find clues as to why this place is so cold."

Sakura: "Scorzette... I don't like this place... it gives me the creeps..."

Scorzette: "I'm not particularly comfortable in here, either. But the Dragon Ball is nearby. Let's just find it and get out of here, I'm freezing..."

Sakura: "Yeah, it's really cold... maybe some coffee will help!"

Scorzette: "Litua, you had coffee just an hour ago! You're really starting to get addicted to that thing..."

Sakura: "Tee-hee! Sorry!"

Scorzette: *sigh* *checks Dragon Radar* "Alright, let's keep going this way. It seems the Dragon Ball is in this direction."

Meanwhile, a couple of meters behind our heroes, the Thief Thugs had been freezing to death, due to their lack of ice-cold weather gear. Regardless, they continued to stealthily follow.

Sakura: "Brbrbrbr... I'm really cold..."

Scorzette: "Hey, I've got an idea. Stand still..." *rubs Sakura's arm with tail* *casts weak pyro rune* "Better?"

Sakura: "Hey, my body feels warmer now! Thanks, Scorzette!"

Scorzette: "Don't mention it." *casts pyro rune on self* "Right, let's keep go... wait... I see something up there..."

Sakura: "I see it... it's a... person, I think... and they're laying on the grou-wait... is that...?! BLANCA?!"

Scorzette: "WHAT?! What's she doing here?!"

Sakura: *runs towards Blanca* "BLANCA!"

Scorzette: *gets to Blanca with Sakura* "Blanca! Hey, wake up!"

Sakura: "We need to take her somewhere safe, NOW!"

Picking up the unconscious Blanca, Sakura and Scorzette kept running in the direction they were originally headed, hoping to find something. They found a small cave, just big enough for them to keep away from the snow. Using pyro runes, Scorzette lit up some rocks, which worked like a fire. Blanca had some wounds and cuts on her, informing our heroes that she had very recently been on a battle. Sakura treated these wounds with some bandages they had on their supplies. After a couple of minutes, Blanca woke up.

Blanca: "Hngh..."

Sakura: "Blanca!"

Blanca: "What... Sakura...? Scorzette? What are you two-ow!"

Scorzette: "Hey, hey, don't move too much. You're still hurt. We're looking for the Dragon Balls, and on our way to one, we found you."

Sakura: "Blanca, tell us what happened! Where's Plata?"

Blanca: "Plata... they... they took her!"

Sakura: "WHAT?! Who?!"

Blanca: "The Geran... We were on our journey to become even stronger and find a new home, when we were suddenly attacked! We tried to back them off, but there were too many of those bastards... They beat me, thinking that they killed me, and took Plata. I don't know exactly what they want with her, but knowing those imbeciles, they want to torture her!"

Sakura: "Oh, no, this is terrible! Do you know where they took her?"

Blanca: "To their cavern... the Geran live in this area - this is their turf... I should have known that earlier, we might have not had to deal with this... they must have scared off any passer-bys, and probably cast a spell on this area to make it an eternal snow storm, keeping everyone away. I need to go to their cavern, and save Plata, before it's too late!"

Scorzette: "We're going with you!"

As soon as Blanca was able to stand up, she took her blade, and lead the way towards the Geran cavern. The Thief Thugs followed them stealthily, but they heard what was inside the cavern, so they would not go in. Once our heroes arrived at the cavern, they found themselves on a high platform, and below was something that seemed like an arena. What was on the other side both shocked and enraged our heroes, specially Blanca.

Five Geran warriors, apparently the leader and four fighters, stood on a platform on the other side, maliciously smirking at our heroes. However, that was not the bad part. Plata was hanging upside down from a rope that connected to the ceiling, badly injured, with her arms mangled from repeated whip slams and knife cuts. Her legs were immobile, both from being tied up and from the injuries they sustained. The only parts that remotely seemed OK were her tail and her face, which had tears streaming down from her eyes. Plata was still alive, but barely.

Blanca: "PLATA! You bastards... let her go... NOW."

Geran leader: "Well, well, well, what have we got here? Look, you filthy dog, your sister came to rescue you! Isn't that cute? You get to see her die before your very own eyes!"

Scorzette: "Huh?! Litua, look, on the leader's necklace. It's a Dragon Ball!"

Sakura: "We'll have to beat him... We won't let you harm Plata any further!" *about to jump to the other side*

Geran warrior: "I wouldn't do that if I were you! One more step and the pest dies." *holding knife against Plata's neck*

Geran leader: "This is between Blanca and us, only. You monkeys better stay out of this, unless you want to clean the blood from your little friend!"

Blanca: "I will kill you... ALL of you... one by one... slowly and painfully!"

Geran leader: "You know... that sounds like a plan to me! You!" *points at Geran warrior* "Go down there. Blanca! If you want to rescue your sister, you'll have to kill each and every single one of my warriors!"

Without hesitation, Blanca jumped down to the arena, where she would face the first Geran warrior. With an immense sense of rage, Blanca had become extremely fast and deadly, and thanks to Sakura, who had healed her injuries. The Geran warrior charged towards Blanca, ready to strike with his sword! However, when he was almost to the White Wolf Sister, Blanca raised her Brontobit Arm, and slammed it against the ground, summoning Brontobit spikes right under the Geran's feet, like how she had done to Scorzette back then! The spikes pierced through the hyena-man, even through his heart, causing him to fall to the ground, slowly dying.

Impressed by Blanca's new powers, the Geran leader gave an evil smirk, laughing at the pain of his dying warrior. He sent the next Geran warrior on the battlefield, this time a man with fatally-long claws. Just like the previous fighter, the Geran charged towards Blanca, careless of any counter-attack she could perform. With ease, Blanca dodged the warrior's attack, leaving the man wide open for the White Wolf's counter. Blanca grabbed both of the man's arms with her Brontobit Arm, pressuring them heavily. She took her sword out and proceeded to slice the man's hands off, dropping his only dangerous body parts on the ground, bleeding intensely. Blanca then lift the man up with her arm, and slammed him against the ground, face-first. With the Geran on her grasp, Blanca ran in circles, pressuring her victim's face to the ground, leaving a trail of blood. Having brutally killed the Geran, Blanca carelessly threw the corpse away, revealing the hyena-man's mangled, dead face.

The Geran leader just laughed hysterically, surprised by Blanca's strength, as well as her thirst for blood. One more Geran warrior jumped down, a hyena-woman with twin-swords, ready to slice Blanca up into tiny bits. She planned to be more careful with her part-robotic opponent, though as you will now read, it would not be careful enough. The Geran ran around Blanca in circles at great speeds, hoping to confuse her, but Blanca had her murderous eyes locked onto her opponent. In a flash, Blanca pounced, while yelling "Wolf-Fang Cut!," performing her signature move. She caught the running Geran with her blade, damaging the hyena-woman's chest, but she was not done. Blanca then yelled "Corrosion Blast!," swinging her Brontobit Arm forward, which summoned Brontobit spikes from thin air, hurling the Geran far away. The warrior laid on the ground, incapable of fighting any further, as Blanca slowly walked towards her. When she was in front of her, Blanca stared dreadfully at her victim's eyes, then stabbed her in the chest with her sword, killing her.

The fourth Geran warrior thought it would be funny to begin slowly sliding his knife on Plata's clothes, mocking her. Plata was now awake and aware of the hyena-man, who was now behind her, continuing to slide his knife. The man was clearly not the brightest, as he did not think Plata would be able to do anything. But the younger White Wolf Sister had had enough, and she became angry, as angry as her sister was. Plata wrapped her tail - which was still in good condition - around the Geran's neck, and she began pressuring, much harder than the Geran thought she could. The lack of breath caused the Geran to drop his knife, and was now gasping for air, as Plata stared at him furiously, with the same murderous eyes Blanca had. Instead of helping his dying partner, the Geran leader looked on, with an evil grin plastered on his disgusting face. Just before the Geran passed out, Plata unwrapped her tail from his neck, only to proceed with her attack right after. She then wrapped her tail around the warrior's head, and began putting even more pressure, almost crushing his face. In a quick move, Plata twisted the Geran's head 180° with her tail, instantly killing the hyena-man. As he fell on the ground, dead, only one more Geran remained - the leader.

Geran leader: "Huh... it seems like your sister isn't a complete waste after all, Blanca! Now, I did say that once all of my warriors had been killed, I would let your sister go. Well... I guess I lied!" *prepares to stab Plata's chest*

Everyone: "NO!"

Time seemed to slow down as the Geran leader pointed his sword at Plata. In that moment, Sakura realized that she was about to lose yet another friend. She would have to relive a similar pain to the one she had gone through when Ninomiya was killed. But Sakura knew she could not bear with that again, not in a million years.

Out of nowhere, Sakura jumped and snapped her fingers with her left hand, creating powerful sparks. Suddenly, Sakura was replaced with a lightning bolt, that went from our heroes' platform to the enemy's. Before anyone had time to react, Sakura was in between the Geran leader and Plata, and then she slashed the Geran's sword away with her tail, rescuing Blanca's sister and causing the Geran to fall on the arena.

Plata: "Sakura! You have no idea how glad I am to see you! I was so scared..."

Sakura: "It's OK, Plata. I won't ever let anyone kill my friends again. Never again."

Blanca: "(Sakura... I don't know how I'll ever repay you for this...) You're done for, Geran. You're alone now, and you have no weapon. It's time to meet your doom!"

Geran leader: "No weapon? Fool! I can still fight! Just watch!"

The Geran leader grabbed his left arm with his right hand. With a masochistic grin, he began pulling with all of his strength, attempting to rip his own arm off! After much effort, the Geran leader's muscular left arm came right off his shoulder, as he laughed maniacally, ignoring the excruciating pain and the fountain of blood! After this, he used the claws on his remaining arm to carve out his amputated arm into the shape of a sword, using his overpowered bones as blades and his flesh as a handle. This fan fiction is now a horror fan fiction. *vomits*

Blanca: "You... yo-you're SICK! Disgusting... monstrous..."

Geran leader: "Oh, what's wrong? Too scared to fight?!"

Blanca: "Scared? No... I want to get rid of you even more now. The world doesn't deserve to have a beast like you wandering around!"

The two half-animals began their fight, clashing their swords and using their physique to annihilate one another. For every attack the Geran leader blocked, countered, dodged, or even connected, he would always leave a pool of blood. This was extremely disturbing, yes, but it also became extremely convenient for Blanca as the fight continued. After some minutes of fighting, the Geran leader began slowing down. He did not think that blood loss would affect him so soon, but his skin was slowly becoming paler and paler, to the point where he seemed like a zombie. Blanca took the chance, and performed a powerful blow on his chest, causing the dreaded leader to fall, defeated. All that was left now was to kill him.

Blanca: *grabs Geran leader's head with Brontobit Arm* "You know, I think it's pretty safe to assume that someone who cuts their own limbs off to use them as weapons doesn't use their head at all. You won't be needing it. HHHYYYYYAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" *begins pulling his head off*

Eddie Riggs: "DECAPITATIOOOOOOOOOO...OOOOOOOOOOOONNN!"

Author: "Thanks, Eddie."

Eddie Riggs: "Hey, no problem, man. It's the least I can do after helping me get Ophelia back to normal."

Author: "You know it!"

You need... to leave... the god-forsaken Fourth Wall alone... anyways, using all of her strength, Blanca pulled the hyena-man's head off, then crushed it with her arm. She stared down at the mangled body of her arch-nemesis, then looked at the rest of the bloody scenery. For years, the Geran had tormented the Byoodo, killing innocents by the dozens. But no more. Blanca had finally accomplished her life goal, as well as her clan's dying wish - eradicate the Geran from the face of the earth.

Blanca: "Mom... dad... Hierro... everyone... I did it. I freed the world of this menace. I hope you're watching us from heaven, and that you celebrate this moment..."

Scorzette: "We'll be..." *pulls one-star Dragon Ball off the Geran leader's necklace* "... taking this, if you don't mind."

Sakura: *jumps down with Plata on arms* "Plata is very badly injured... we need to take her to the nearest hospital!"

Plata: "Sis... you were awesome down there... like you've always been... hehe..." *faints*

Blanca: "You were awesome, too, Plata. Don't worry, you'll be feeling like new in no time. Everyone, let's go!"

Scorzette took out the Wind Shark, and both her and Sakura started it, with Blanca and Plata on board now. As they went out of the cavern, the Thief Thugs looked on, unsure of what had happened, as they did not go in the cavern, but they followed anyways! Can our heroes find a hospital quickly? Will they find another Dragon Ball on their way there? Find out next time on Lost Origin: A Saiyan's Quest!

To be continued...

Bonus Skit

As the Thief Thugs followed our heroes, the extreme weather began really getting on their heads.

Boom: "Psst! Bro, did you bring coats?"

Bam: "Ummm... no?"

Boom: "WHA-BRO! Oh-ho-ho, bro-ho-ho-hooo... momma always told us to never leave home without coats! We'll freeze to death at this rate!

Bam: "But, when I was a kid, momma always told me to put a coat on when I was very hot! And then when I was cold, she told me to take it off!"

Boom: "Bam, momma ain't here to tell us when to put our coats on or not!"

Bam: "I know, rite-pffthehehehehe!"

Scorzette: "Huh?! Who's there?!"

Boom: *laying face-first against snow, hiding* "... bro... did you bring face masks?"

Bam: "... no?"

Boom: "FFFFFFFFFFFFFF-"
