One month later...
Tenchu took night watch during a camping session on the border of the Northern Snow Region, and the nearby valley. He heard rumors of a bustling town nearby that some of its people been dissappearing with no notice. As Tenchu was stoking the campfire, Rugai got up and stumbled behind some rocks and "relieved himself". Upon his return, Rugai picked up his canteen and took a drink out of it. "You get some sleep Tenchu. I'll take over."
"You've been taking the second half of every night shift for the past couple weeks. You should let someone else take it." Tenchu got closer to his brother.
"I've been doing some exercises to get a better grasp of what I did that day. Besides, my blood wouldn't let me stay asleep for long."
"You Saiyans are strange people. Anything that popped into your head about your race?" Tenchu sat down.
"Nothing useful that can help me." Rugai looked down, and just at that moment, something hit him. He quickly looked up and twitched his head. "Woah."
"Something popped up?" Tenchu scratched his left side. "Or did you forget to shake?"
"I thought I felt something... I can't quite explain it really. It's like the feeling of the chill down your spine, but not that tingling feeling." Rugai rubbed his temples with the back part of his palms. "This feeling is driving me nuts."
"Dude, calm down ok. I've been looking at the map i've packed, and Mt. Paos is at least another four month journey by foot. We could get there faster if we hitched a ride relatively heading in that same direction." Deena got up, then staggered behind some bushes. "There is a town in the valley. We better stock up on some supplies and maybe find someone to give us a lift."
"I do wanna learn all that I can wherever our journey takes us. I want to know whom i'm willing to protect those who cannot protect themselves. I am a Saiyan afterall." Rugai looked into the stars, trying to find comfort in his words.
"There's another thing I wanna talk to you about. Maybe you should downplay your race everywhere we go. No one other than us knows what you are. I'm saying this as your friend and everyone else too. If people think we're being 'invaded by aliens', what would happen? Everyone military or otherwise will be after you and try to kill you." Tenchu stroke the fire again before closing his eyes.
Rugai jumped onto the tall rock that was behind him, turned onto his hands and did vertical pushups until first light.
Midday...
The gang arrived into the town of Mer-cante Rugai was dumbfounded by all the buildings that are around him. Deena and Tenchi went supply shopping, Tenchu on the other hand, noticed the lack of people of the town. "Be on your guard Ru, something's not right here. Can't you feel it?"
"Kinda, but at the same time, nothing's change." Rugai groans and puts his hands behind his head. "Man, I can't get this grasp on what I'm feeling!"
Tenchu rubbed Rugai's head. "Don't stress yourself out about it. Just keep an eye out for anything weird, ok?" Tenchu walked away from Rugai, and headed towards a restaraunt.
An hour passed and Rugai noticed none of his friends showed up, and even less people out on the streets. That got him worried, sat his bag down by the inn and went exploring. Upon the fourth street, he smelled weird scents comming from some vents. When Rugai got closer, he seen a few people bound and gagged on what looked like giant fisherman's hooks, and one person limping and mumbling nonsense. Rugai looked around for an entrance to the underground area, went through a couple houses and found nothing. When he leaned against an outhouse looking building, he fell through it and down a few flights of stairs. After a few minutes of wallowing in pain, Rugai got up and headed towards the greenish blue looking light. He quietly opens and carefully sneaks inside only to hear 'So far my exPERIMINTATION is nearly cOMPLETE!' Thanks to Tenchu's advice about staying low to the ground and sneaking around, Rugai was under one of the tables away from the creepy looking guy. Rugai looked around and saw that the entire town was held captive. Then he got the shock of his life, his friends were back to back with each other with what looked like tubes stuck in their arms. Without thinking, he got out from under the table, and headed towards them. "What do YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!?" The creeper looked at Rugai's tail. "What ARE YOU!?" Rugai turned around, and with bloodlust in his eyes, he just looked at him. "You THINK that you can INTIMIDATE ME!?" Rugai took a step closer and smashed the table he was under with one fist. "Y..You are NOTHING! You will BECOME one of MY exPERIMENTS!"
"YOU WON'T BE EXPIRIMENTING WITH ANYBODY ANYMORE, YOU SICK FREAK!" And with one leaping motion, Rugai backhanded the guy, sending him across the room and a few other tables. When he got up, he noticed with one eye, an aura of some sorts covering Rugai. "HERE'S WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO, YOU ARE GOING TO RELEASE EVERYONE HERE AND LEAVE THIS PLACE, OR I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Little did Rugai realize, his friends were awake and were watching the event being played out in front of them. Tenchi and Deena's eyes went wide, while Tenchu tried to free himself to save the others. When that failed, he just calmly watched Rugai beating the crap out of the creeper.
"G..Get away FROM ME! D...Don't come ANY CLOSER!" Rugai grabbed him and tossed the guy to a wall. As soon as he got moderately up, the creeper held up a device with a button. "Hehehe, HAHAHA! One more STEP, and I'll BLOW this PLACE up with everyone INSIDE incLUDING YOU!" Rugai stopped, raised his right hand, and fired an enery ball at the device destroying it. "You FOOL! How DARE YOU go against DR. ANTHONY!" With his foot, Dr. Anthony hit something and fell through the trap door. Rugai knew that going after him wouldn't be smart, so he calmed down and rushed towards his friends.
"Don't worry guys, I'll have you out soon." As soon as Rugai got Deena down, the lights went from normal to a redish-purple. "I think we better hurry and get everyone freed and out of here. Split up, we'll get done faster."
"Ru, we got to talk about what we witnessed." Deena had a worried look on her face.
"Later. Right now we need to free these people." The kids rushed to each civilian, yanking tubes out of them and unshackling them. The people didn't take long to wake up, and hurried towards the stairs out of the laboratory. As soon as Rugai turned around, the lights flickered incresingly fast. As he was running up the stairs, the underground laboratory gradually shake violently. Soon as everyone got out, the underground lab imploded and dissappeared.
As the kids were resting, a few of the townsfolk went up to them and was asking various questions. Before they could answer any of them, the mayor broke that crowd up and stood befor our young heroes. "So... You're the ones who saved us from that madman? If I hadn't witnessed it myself, I wouldn't believed it." The mayor lookt at Rugai's tail. "You, the one with the tail, what are you anyways? Tenchu spoke up for him without thinking.
"It's a birth defect. He's an orphin like the rest of us. We've been traveling with us for some time now." Tenchu hoped that the lie would hold up and the mayor will have a sympathetic heart.
The mayor was a bit skeptical, but seeing as those kids helped his people, he never bothered to pursue it. "Well then, you all must be tired and in need of a shower." Rugai's stomach roared extra loudly. The mayor chuckled. "And hungry too. Head to the restaraunt and the cooks there will feed you until you pass out." Rugai never wasted time and rushed towards the building. "Hehehe, he sure doesn't waste any time." As the mayor and the rest of Rugai's friends entered just ten minutes later, and saw Rugai on his eighteenth plate of food. Most of cooking staff, the mayor and his friends had their jaws dropped and eyes nearly out of their sockets. Tenchu was the first to snap out of the trance. And soon after, the rest of the group did. "Well now, someone has an appetite. And by the looks of it, you've already cleaned out almost a months supply."
"He's got a high metabolism. But from what we're seeing, its extremely high." Deena was still amazed at Rugai's consumption of food. More dishes were piling up around him. "We better eat before Rugai there cleans them out... Guys...?" Deena turned in various directions to fing her friends. She decided to sit with Rugai. "You eat like an animal. But I guess its part of your quirks that I've come to admire."
Rugai tried talking with food in his mouth, which caused Deena to have some food particles on her face.
"Swallow your food first before speaking, please." While wiping the food off her.
"I asked why you're the only one sitting here? The others are sitting by the kitchen. I don't know why though, there's still pleanty of room here." Rugai resumed his mass consumption of food.
"Maybe they wanted to talk privately, or plotting something. I don't know anymore." Deena got her plate of food and ate it. Rugai had finished eating a total of 35 plates and 46 bowls of food.
"Woah man! That was some excellent grub! Your cooks are awesome Mr. Mayor guy." In the corner, the mayor laughed a bit.
"I'll tell them that, young one. By the way, my people and I never got the names of our saviors."
"The guy with the massive appetite is Rugai. The girl next to him is Deena, my twin Tenchi and I'm Tenchu. We're headint to Mt. Paos to find us a martial arts master."
"Ah yes, Master Evelyn. Mistress of three different styles. Though I'm unsure if she is still amongst the living. If she is, she'd be over 700 years old. I can arrange a transport for you four to help cut your time by a few days."
"That would be most helpful." Said Tenchu. "But we wouldn't impose anymore than what we have to."
The mayor chuckled a bit. "Nonsense! Its the least we can do after freeing us from that mad scientist from the Black Fist Organization."
Three of the four kids nearly jumped out of their seats upon hearing the name. "B.. Black Fist Organization!?" Rugai, on the otherhand, remained calmed.
"I didn't think they were that tough. I took out one of them up north. Said his name was Ironfist or something." The mayor and the rest who were there stoped immediately, fell silent, and went nearly pale. The mayor gathered up enough courage to get up.
"Do you guys know anything about the Black Fist Organization?" The kids shaked their head in a no fashion. "To sum up, they are an army of cybernectic enhanced soldiers hell bent on cybernizing every living creature to utter perfection or destroy anyone who resists them. And you say you beat one of them Mr. Rugai?" A nod of yes was given. "Then maybe the guy you defeated wasn't that strong, or purest dumb luck ever. But given the curcumstances, I feel that getting you four to Mt. Paos as swiftly as possible is for the best. However, you four are going to be delayed in the journey. Each of you get cleaned up, and by the time you're finished, a transport with fully stock packs will be waiting. Go hurry!"
An hour and a half passed...
Rugai and the others were cleaned and dressed with new clothing and fresh odors. "Wow, a nice hot shower is what a girl really needed."
"Yea yea yea. The mayor was kind enough to do this for us. Besides, who knows what this... Black Fist Organization can do. I mean, fighting an army of cyborgs? Really?"
"Geeze bro, you sound like a skeptic old man. For crying out loud, we're only 14. Deena is what... 16 or 17 years old."
"I'M ONLY 15 YOU IDIOT! A girl has to keep young. Don't you think so Rugai?" As she turned to him, trying a seductive look, only to see him trying to figure out his own age."
"Umm... I don't know my age. But could we please get going? I got a bad feeling about... something."
"It'll be ok bro." said Tenchu after putting his hand on Rugai's shoulder. "Lets just get in the truck, and enjoyed the ride." As the kids got into the back of the truck, they looked back to see everyone waving and cheering them while wishing them luck.
Soon as the town wasn't in view anymore, Tenchi and Tenchu fell asleep by the cab. Deena snuggled up to Rugai by the driver side wall and gazed up at the stars. "Rugai, I've been meaning to tell you something for awhile now. But I'm afraid to say it."
Rugai closed his eyes, and layed his head on Deena's head. "I really like you Deena. And I don't want this to end." Upon hearing that, Deena's face went tomato red.
She tried to calm herself down, but ended up staying awake well into the night.
