Author: "AUTHOR NOTE TIME! Ladies and gentlemen, I have an announcement. If anyone in here has read my fan fiction, To Be Born Anew, you will notice that the chapters of that fan fiction are at least 1,000 longers than the chapters in here on average. That is because I used to restrict myself to EVERY chapter being almost exactly 6 pages long with 1 page for the Bonus Skit. But with To Be Born Anew, I broke that rule, and gave myself more room for content and a LOT more freedom. As of this chapter, I have decided to do just that. You can expect longer chapters from Lost Origin: A Saiyan's Quest, meaning this fan fiction will be over slightly sooner than expected (we're almost half-way through), but with the same amount of content and better writing.

TL;DR Longer chapters. Yaaaaaaay. Read, review, follow, fave, do whatchu wanna do."

Lost Origin: A Saiyan's Quest

Bam: *on motorcycle* "Psst! Bro, is it chasing us still?"

Boom: *riding motorcycle* "Bro... it's been half a day since we woke that ugly monster up and we haven't seen him since! Hell naw, it's not chasing us still!"

Bam: "Oh, it's just that you never know with these octopii. You know, since their meat is so tasty!"

Boom: "I know, rite-pffthehehehehe!"

Bam: "So, what now, bro?"

Boom: "We gotta get to the nearest town, cuz I bet that where we'll find the monkey girls! And I swears it, next time..." *takes gun out* "... they gonna git it!"

Bam: *takes gun out* "Yeeeeah!"

Thief Thugs: "Pffthehehehehe!"

Chapter 46: Capita Carnival

Following a series of unexpected events, our now-three heroes rode the Wind Shark to the nearest town. The town where they were previously at was wrecked to nothing by both a gigantic octopus monster and Great Ape Ivy, who turned out to be a Saiyan after her tail grew back. Our grown heroines had a million questions about Ivy, but could not ask her, as she was incapable of speaking. Although the reason for this was unknown, the rather concerning scar on the little girl's neck could be a factor. Octodad and his people walked a different direction than our heroes', knowing that a friendlier city was on another direction. After a few hours of riding, the Saiyanii finally saw what they were looking for!

Ivy: *on Sakura's shoulder* "Hm? Ah!" *points forward*

Sakura: "Hey, I see buildings!"

Scorzette: "Whew, about time! Can't wait to find a place to sit down so we can eat something..." *accelerates*

Sakura: "So, Ivy, what kind of food do you like to eat?"

Ivy: "Uh... uh?"

Sakura: "Oh, yeah, she doesn't speak English... actually, she doesn't speak at all... Hey, Scorzette, what do they speak in Planet Vegeta?"

Scorzette: "To my knowledge, there's five spoken languages and three written ones. The five spoken languages are English - you know, because it's universal language and stuff; two kinds of native languages, Vegetaria and Tufflino I think they're called; and Eastern language that sounds very similar to Earthling Japanese - Hamoni or something like that; aaaaand... Spanish."

Sakura: "... Spanish?"

Scorzette: "Si, Litua, se habla Español en mi tierra."

Sakura: "Whoa, Scorzette, you speak Spanish?!"

Scorzette: "Well, yeah... everyone in the South Western region spoke Spanish, and some of us spoke English as well. Looking at you, your family might have spoken Hamoni."

Sakura: "Wait, so does that mean I'm an Eastern Saiyan?"

Scorzette: "You sure look like one. Oh, and the written languages are Western Saiyan; Modern Latin; and Neo Katakana, which your parents might also have been able to write."

Sakura: "Woooow... I never thought communicating in Planet Vegeta would be like that... it's kind of similar to Earth, don't you think?"

Scorzette: "Some stuff, yeah, but at least we don't have to deal with over 200 languages across the world. Humans really just like to make it harder on themselves, don't they? Us Saiyans like a challenge, humans just seem masochistic at times... and other times, they seem to always look for the easy way out! Weird race..."

Ivy: "Huh? ... eh? Ah." *points towards cave*

Sakura: "Oh, that's just a cave, Ivy. But we don't wanna sleep in a cave if we can sleep in a house, right?"

Ivy: "Hm... guu."

Ignoring the cave, our heroes proceeded into the town, and as expected it was home of several other Gurugurus. However, unlike in Octodad's town, the Gurugurus in this new town seemed to have more advanced technology and they dressed with more expensive-looking clothes. The town itself seemed to be considerably bigger, classifying more as a small city rather than just a town. Our heroes also got much less people looking their way, as most of the Gurugurus seemed to mind only their own business. This was overall an improvement from the previous town. Quickly, the three Saiyans found a park where they could sit at and eat peacefully.

Scorzette: "Phew, I'm starving... what have we got, Litua?"

Sakura: "We've got..." *looks through supplies bag* "... lettuce, grapes, tuna, celery, two peaches, oranges, and... that's it... WE'RE OUT OF COFFEE?!"

Scorzette: "C-Calm down, Litua!"

Sakura: *crying cartoonily* "Why must life be so cruel, Scorzette...?"

Scorzette: "Look, as soon as we figure out a way to find the last Dragon Ball and get back to Earth, you can have as much coffee as you want."

Ivy: "C... Co... ffee?"

Scorzette: "It's this drink that Litua is addicted with, Ivy. Which is why I kind of want to prohibit you from drinking it. We don't want another coffee-freak around..."

Ivy: "Li... tu... a?"

Scorzette: "It's her real name. Earthlings call her 'Sakura,' but I know better than to call her by a fake name. Hell, I know for a fact your name isn't Ivy, but until I can actually get a hold of your real name, that'll have to do."

Ivy: "Ah." *digs into supplies bag* *takes celery out* "Hm..." *om nom nom*

Sakura: *om nom noming lettuce* "Hm... eed flls so wrrd to nt hev uh cooffi mg n meh hnd. [It feels so weird to not have a coffee mug on my hand.]" *swallows* "Hm?"

Guruguru #1: *with girlfriend* "Guu... gurugu, guruguru guru gugu guru rugu!"

Guruguru #2: "Gu, guru guru gu!"

Sakura: "Aww! He says she's the best woman a man could ask for! And she said the same about him. How romantic!"

Guruguru #1: "Gu..." *hugs her* "Guruguru gu, ruguu gururu gu guru guguu..."

Sakura: "And he's going to take her to his bed tonight and he's going to... w... what...? He's going to 'pound that a-"

Scorzette: *covers Sakura's mouth* "I DON'T-I DON'T WANT TO-NO. Just... just no, OK?! Pretend like you never heard anything, Litua!"

Sakura: "O... OK..."

Meanwhile, on the city's outskirts...

Bam: "Psst! Bro, you think the monkey girls are hiding around here?"

Boom: "Of course they are, bro! You see any other place where they could be hidin'?"

Bam: "How about that cave over there?" *points at cave*

Boom: "Nah, bro, monkeys don't like caves!"

Bam: "... wait, really?"

Boom: "Y-Yeah! I mean, I said it! Of course it's true!"

Bam: "I know, rite-pffthehehehehe!"

Boom: "Right, we obviously can't communicate with these aliens. We're too smart for them, bro. So we're just gonna have to find those two on our own terms."

Bam: "Yeah! But, how're we gonna do that?"

Boom: "Well, you know, we just... and... then we, like... and... and then... and then, yeah! That's how we'll do it!"

Bam: "... wat?"

Boom: "Just follow me, bro!"

The Thief Thugs proceeded with their "genius" plan and entered the city, pretending to be any normal citizen. It was also here where they discovered that they were terrible drivers, as every other vehicle constantly beeped at them for getting in the way. However, they cared not. They would just have to go through the entire city, hoping to find our heroes somewhere. This task would turn out to be much more difficult than anticipated, but... wait a minute, how were those two able to bring the motorcycle?!

Author: "Hell if I know."

What do you mean you don't know?! UGH... I swear, one of these days, I'm just gonna faint of a stupidity overload, and since I'm connected to you, we're both gonna end up in the hospital and mom isn't gonna be ONE bit happy-

Author: "BACK WITH OUR HEROES!"

HEY, I'M THE ONE WHO DOES THAT!

... back with our heroes...

Scorzette: "Well, looking at things, we're probably going to be sitting in this planet for a few days, so we might really want to start looking for a place to stay at. However, we need money for that..."

Sakura: "I-I don't have any money... do you have any, Scorzette?"

Scorzette: "I kind of left all the money I had in my space pod... and that kind of got obliterated by Andromeda's meteor... so... unless Ivy has anything..."

Ivy: "Hm?" *reaches into pockets* *takes out two galactic dollars* "Ah."

Scorzette: "... yeah, we're broke."

Sakura: "Is there anything we can do to get money?"

Scorzette: "Well, we could go North Western style and begin blowing everything up until people give us what we want."

Sakura: "NO! We're not doing that, Scorzette!"

Scorzette: "PFFT! I was kidding, haha! God, you're so naive..."

Ivy: "Uh?" *pulls Sakura's leg* "Ah, ah..." *points towards crowd of Gurugurus*

Sakura: "Hey, look, there' a bunch of people over there. What do you think is happening?"

Scorzette: "Well, let's check it out. Could be just what we're looking for."

Our heroes walked towards the crowd of people to investigate. In the middle of it all stood a Guruguru wearing silly clothes, like carnival clothes, and beside him was a high striker. There were a lot of strong-looking Gurugurus, all anxious to take their turn at the game. Sakura translated that the carnival Guruguru was holding a contest. Whoever managed to reach the top of the high striker with the hammer would win a hundred galactic dollars! How convenient!

Scorzette: "We could really use those one hundred. They might not be enough for all three of us to get a hotel room or something, but it's a start."

Strong Guruguru: *holds hammer overhead* "Guuu... GU!" *hits high striker* *almost makes it* "GURU!"

Carnival Guruguru: "Gu, guru guru! Gururu rugu?!"

Sakura: "Ruguru!" *turns to Scorzette* "It's our turn, Scorzette!"

Scorzette: "How about you give it a try first?"

Sakura: "Oh, sure!"

All of the Gurugurus looked strangely at Sakura, then at her friends. Even if she had more bones than every Guruguru in there, she still was much shorter than most of them, and also lacked a noticeably buff body (though she did have a few muscles). She paid no attention to this and proceeded to pick the hammer up, feeling it surprisingly light, but for the other Gurugurus it weighed a ton. The high striker was about as tall as a five-level building! Sakura held the hammer over her head, examined the target, and swung the hammer down as hard as she could. The force of the impact was so intense that a crater was formed below the ground of the game and some cracks formed on the hammer! The high striker's top was reached by the strength-measuring ball, then the ball went soaring through the skies, and then the high striker's top half cracked and began falling! Sakura casually caught the top half of the high striker with one hand, as if she was just holding a book, and then she simply set it on the ground.

Sakura: "Gu guru?"

Carnival Guruguru: *eyes popping out* "... GURU RURUGU!" *hands money* "GUUUUUURUGURUGURU!" *runs away*

Sakura: "Yaaay! Look, Scorzette, we got the money AND a hammer!"

Scorzette: "Litua, our fingers alone are stronger than that hammer. Besides, it's broken now. But good job."

Sakura: "Awww..." *drops hammer* "Oh, well."

Scorzette: "Well, now we just have to find another hundred or so and that should do it."

The trio joyfully and peacefully left the scene, leaving dozens of Gurugurus watching them with their eyes wide open at the unbelievable strength Sakura showcased. Sakura did not notice it, Scorzette did not care, and Ivy did not understand. After half an hour of exploring the city, our heroes noticed that there were a fair number of attractions around the area, similar to the high striker. This all hinted that it might have been a special holiday at the city, and that there was a carnival going on. However, all the attractions they had seen so far were roller coasters, balloons, and food. They would have loved to have some of the third, but they had bigger matters at hand. Eventually, however, they came across another attraction that could give them money. Another silly-looking Guruguru was using most of his tentacles to hold a number of sticks with spinning plates on top of them, and even some of the plates had more sticks with plates on top of them. The people around him were cheering and throwing money inside a hat. As mean as it was, if they could steal his show, our heroes would have another way of getting money.

Scorzette: "Well, I'm strong, but I don't have outstanding balance. You think you can do it, Litua?"

Sakura: "I can try, but I still don't have as many appendages as he does... I mean, he's using seven tentacles to hold the sticks and one tentacle to stand, while I'd only have four limbs and a leg to stand."

Scorzette: "Ugh... guess we'll have to skip this one..." *notices pebble in front of her* "... why is this thing floating?"

Ivy: *holding hand up* "Aaahh... ah!" *pebble goes flying to the sky*

Sakura: *clapping* "Good job, Ivy! Isn't she cut-"

Scorzette: *lifts Ivy* "HOW'D YOU DO THAT?!"

Ivy: "Ah?! Eh... uh... uh..." *gets teary eyed*

Sakura: "Hey!" *snatches Ivy out of Scorzette's hands* "You've gotta be gentle with her, Scorzette!" *pats Ivy's head* "There, there, it'll be alright..."

Scorzette: "Tsk... at her age I was having wrestling matches with my brother... But that's not important, how'd she lift that pebble?!"

Sakura: "With her mind."

Scorzette: "Litua, you are being to calm about this! Why didn't you tell me Ivy could use Telekinesis?!"

Sakura: "Tele...kawhat?"

Scorzette: "Te-le-ki-ne-BAH, forget it!"

Sakura: "Oh... she's been using it since the day we met her! I was playing around with her and she was making the toys fly all over the place, it was fun!"

Scorzette: "And no one mentioned this to me because...?"

Author: "Because reasons."

Scorzette: "SHUT IT, YOU! Whatever, look, if Ivy can use her telekinetic powers to make an even better show than that guy, we'll get the money we need! Go, Ivy, show him what you've got!"

Sakura: "AHEM." *tapping foot*

Scorzette: "... pleeeeease?"

Ivy: "Ah!"

As instructed by Scorzette, Ivy focused on several other pebbles around her and closed her eyes. Using her telekinetic powers, she lifted all of them and began making them spin around her at normal running speeds. This got the attention of some of the Gurugurus, but if they were really going to steal the public, they had to go beyond. Ivy then focused on stones, chairs, tables, and even cars! She was flailing her arms around in a very specific manner. Finally, it was as if there was a tornado on top of Ivy, with dozens of objects spinning around at rapid speeds! Everyone in the crowd was now cheering like crazy, except for the carnival Guruguru and some others complaining about their cars being used for entertainment purposes. Galactic dollar bills rained over our heroes! The crowd could not believe their eyes, and almost emptied their pockets at the spectacle!

Scorzette: "Alright! Look at all this money, Litu-"

Sakura: "AHEM." *tapping foot*

Scorzette: "... thank you, Ivy, we couldn't have done it without you..."

Ivy: "Haha!" *hugs Scorzette's leg*

Sakura: "See? Being nice to others pays off!"

Scorzette: "Uh... sure, whatever..." *pats Ivy's head*

It was starting to get late, and our heroes had to find a hotel or something similar soon. They had gathered approximately G$300, so the issue was not money anymore, it was lack of orientation. The way the buildings in the city were constructed was too odd to tell a hotel from a hardware store! As night time came and the street lights became the prominent light source, our heroes still wandered the streets. Oblivious to them was the fact that the Thief Thugs FINALLY caught up to them, and were now spying on the three Saiyans.

Boom: "Psst! Bro, look, they found another monkey girl!"

Bam: "I know, rite-pffthehehehe-wait..."

Boom: "... bro?"

Bam: "There's something about the little one... it's like I've heard of something like her before..."

Boom: "Really, now?"

Bam: "Yeah, there's just-OH! Oh-oh-oh, I remember, bro! Momma told me a long time ago that she went to the World Martial Arts Tournament when she was very young, and there was this kid with very weird hair and a monkey tail! She said that when he fought this Jackie Chun guy, the kid looked at the full moon and then transformed into some giant monkey monster!"

Boom: "WHOA! So that means... these monkey girls are related to him! And..." *looks up at set of full moons* "... I've got a plan bro!"

The three Saiyans stopped for a second to look around, see if any of the buildings looked remotely like a hotel. All of the Gurugurus were too busy with their carnival to spare our heroes a few seconds to ask questions, that or they were driving home, upset at the extreme amount of noise. Sneakily, the Thief Thugs walked behind our heroes - specifically Ivy. In a very delicate manner, Bam kneeled down behind Ivy and lift her head up so she would be looking straight at the sky. The second he did this, Ivy's eyes locked onto one of the many moons, and the Thief Thugs ran away as fast as they possibly could.

Scorzette: "Man, if these people weren't so busy with their damn carnival, we could maybe get some help around here!"

Sakura: "Wait... aren't there several full moons every night on this planet?"

Scorzette: "Yeah, which is exactly why we can't... look... up..." *her and Sakura immediately turn to Ivy*

Ivy: *eyes are red* *thrashing tail wildly* "Ah-ah... aaahh..."

Scorzette: "... crap."

Sakura: "THE CAVE!"

Scorzette: *takes out Wind Shark* *picks Ivy up* "GET ON!" *Sakura gets on* *full speed* "OUT OF THE WAY, PEOPLE! LEG IT! OR TENTACLE IT, I DON'T CARE, BUT JUST FREAKING MOVE!"

With the Wind Shark going faster than the speed of sound due to the excessive amount of charge Sakura was giving it, the trio flew out of the city in mere seconds! Sakura instantly saw the cave and guided the Wind Shark straight for it, as Ivy's heart was now pounding at rather alarming rates! The second they went in, Scorzette shot a ki blast at the cave's ceiling, sealing the entrance and making it pitch black inside. Now with no moonlight for Ivy to receive, she would hopefully stop transforming... though she still had red eyes! What will happen in this darkened cave? Can our heroes find the Thief Thugs and make them pay for their crimes? Find out next time on Lost Origin: A Saiyan's Quest!

To be continued...

Bonus Skit

A while after Ivy's telekinesis show, our heroes decided that a little more money would not hurt their budget.

Sakura: "Hey Scorzette, Ivy and I already earned some money. Do you want to do anything else or is this enough?"

Scorzette: "Well... a few more wouldn't hurt I guess... hmm, what should I do..."

Ivy: "Hmm..." *scratches scar on neck*

Scorzette: "A scar... a mark... hey, maybe I can do tattoos with my runes!"

Sakura: "... umm... Scorzette, I don't know if the Gurugurus' skin can take that muc-"

Scorzette: *grabs random Guruguru* "Hey, mister, would you like a sample from our most recent tattoo works?!"

Guruguru: "G... Gu-Guru?"

Scorzette: "Don't worry, sir, it's free!" *marks Guruguru's tentacle with rune* "See, Litua? It's only a weak one, it won't do anything bad!"

Guruguru: *eyes wide open* "..." *faints from the pain*

Everyone: "..."

Scorzette: "... we're out of here."

Sakura: "Wha-but, Scorzette, he needs hel-"

Scorzette: "Litua. Ivy. Wind Shark. NOW."
