A Wonderful Life

Chapter 38: Ignoble Past
A/N: Hey Guys! Things have been surprisingly busy for me with holidays and surprise home improvement, so sorry I took three weeks again. So I thought it was due time for a special someone's backstory, now here it is!
Space, a vast empty void that houses everything in the universe's existence. It is endless, with millions of new plants being discovered every day, and (seemingly) no real end to it all
Space witnesses everything within it, every tale that is sung and every story to be told has been witnessed by this unknown being, like an observant god
Within this vast void flew a curious white ship, piloted by widely known bandits of the universe, Turles and Zangya, both of which came with two soldiers of the Cooler Force, Cheelai and Lemo
Currently, the two space bandits trained their hearts out as they fought each other in the white training room. Turles restrained himself from using anything higher from his Super Saiyan form, but ever since their visit to Vampa Turles had gained a very significant buff from his encounter with the two strangers
Zangya was able to keep up, however she was short of his maximum power. Still, after all her rigorous training she was now roughly as powerful her former leader Bojack, however that was no longer an impressive feat
As they trained, Zangya blocked several blows from the golden haired Saiyan with some trouble as he assaulted violently and relentlessly
The Heran worked her defensive capabilities the best she could as she dodged several blows at once, however doing this for so long proved tiring
Inevitably Turles was able to land a blow strong enough to launch her to a wall. This allowed Turles to dash forwards and work a new assault
But this time Zangya was ready as she recovered and dashed out of his way. She followed up by getting behind the Saiyan and grabbing him. She was then able to launch him towards a wall with a crash
She launched several ki blasts to finish it all up, each one exploding upon impact. When the dust cleared Turles stood in place huffing tiredly, however he had a clear smirk on his face
"Excellent, you took advantage of my shortsightedness were able to put me in the backfoot." He said as he slowly slid on the ground, exhausted
"You make it sound as if you planned to make that mistake." Zangya said as she casually changed back into her normal form, changing her hair from red to orange and her skin from green to turquoise
Turles pulled out another Senzu Pill and gulped it up dry. However instead of recovering all of his health, it instead barely gave him any energy at all, leaving him just as tired as he was a second ago
"Tch, stupid thing doesn't work anymore." He said as he forced himself up from the floor
"That's because you've been abusing the hell out of those things. Bulma said that after some time they stop having the same effects." Zangya said as she summarized what Bulma herself observed from the party
"I guess this is a consequence of endless training. But now I'm more powerful than ever." Turles boasted
"And now you need some rest before you pass out." Zangya warned as she clicked a hidden button on a wall panel
When she pushed the button, a panel of the training room opened to reveal a small fridge. Turles and Zangya both grabbed a cold bottle of water from it before they closed it up again
After training, the two showered up before finally going into the kitchen for food. It was then that they interacted with Cheelai and Lemo, who both ate one singular capsule meant for Turles
"I still don't get it, how can a Saiyan eat this much." Cheelai said out loud as she stared at the plates that still had food on them, however both she and Lemo were full already
"And how do you guys not get fat?" Lemo asked as he sat lazily in his chair
"Saiyans are a warrior race, and in order to keep up with our rigorous training we require more food than any other creature in space. This helps us stand out compared to other races who happen to have the same abilities as us." Turles informed everyone before promptly downing his plate full of rice as if it was nothing
"I guess that's why you guys can grow stronger. Who would have thought." Zangya commented, having finished her plate already
"Speaking of which, weren't Saiyans wiped out of existence all of a sudden? What happened?" Lemo asked. Unlike weeks ago, he felt more comfortable asking such questions after having spent time with Turles and Zangya
"Frieza feared our power, and decided to gather us up before killing us with his own hands. The only exceptions I've seen so far are Kakarot, Paragus and his son, Vegeta and I, all of which were either out of planet already, or managed to escape." Turles summarized
"And what about you? What were you doing at that time." Cheelai asked
"I was out pillaging planets with my own crew. Sadly they're dead now, but they were an interesting bunch." Turles explained once more
However with these questions Zangya finally asked one of her own
"What was your past like?" Zangya asked out of curiosity, which surprised Turles a little
"And what's with the sudden questions?" The man asked, seeing as how it is rare for everyone to pry
"Well I've told you my life before, and not once did you tell me yours." Zangya said, which seemed reasonable to the Saiyan
"I suppose so, it's only fair after all." Turles said with a chuckle
Turles closed his eyes and took a deep breath as he recalled his life, from as far as he could remember. When he did, he gathered all of his energy and began from the beginning
"My life as a Saiyan wasn't too grand. It began with the same ritual as anyone else, I was sent off planet and conquered my first planet just after I was born. It took all my childhood, and when I finished I was sent back to my home world. And that's when my life really started." Turles began as everyone listened in closely
"Since I was born as a low class warrior, I was mocked by everyone, especially my family. But in the end this was what every low class Saiyan had to go through, and I was no exception." Turles explained
"Life was difficult, but not impossible. In fact, there are a few moments in my life that I personally cherish from that time, most of which came from my being with my team." He said, gaining everyone's interest
"My team was fairly full of odd characters, but they got along enough to complete their missions. When I joined I was picked on for being the weakest, and the youngest at times. But in the end I ignored all of it, and fit right in." He explained
"The six of us were pretty tough, we got our assignments done and that was all that mattered. Being with them was all a learning experience, and if it weren't for them I wouldn't be the man I am today." Turles said as well with a smirk before it noticeably faded away
"That was until our last mission together. We were assigned to attack a planet, however this one was stronger than we expected. In the end I was barely able to escape." Turles said with a slightly depressing tone of voice
There was a small moment of silence before someone finally piped up
"And what happened exactly?" Zangya said with curiosity and concern mixed into her voice
Everyone stared at Turles as he sighed deeply
In truth, remembering their deaths still stung for Turles. Sure most of them were assholes, but they were great to be around. Their death really impacted Turles, and because of that it wasn't easy to tell
However there was no use in feeling bad over the past. As sore as the wound was he wasn't going to deny their request, especially since it was Zangya's
"...I suppose I should explain it from the beginning...it all started just after briefing that day." Turles began his recollection of that day
*Flashback*
In the vast void of space, there flew six Saiyan pods, each one flying fairly close to each other as they left to their destination
Within the pod that lagged behind all others was A young Turles. He wore the same outfit as he does now, a dark blue chest plate with shoulder pads, only black underwear, dark blue boots and wrist guards. This Turles, still looked to be in his teens, however he was nearing the age for the abnormal Saiyan growth spurt to hit him
The Teen Saiyan sat completely still in his cramped pod. Inside of it was a small control panel with a screen along with an emergency latch. Otherwise, the ship is equipped with anything that a Saiyan might need in their travels, such as oxygen, spare armor and a few energy bars as rations
Currently, he and his team had just left planet Vegeta and were now headed out to their new target planet, Luchar
"So, what else do we know about the planet?" Turles asked, currently the six ships were linked together via telecommunication
"Other than what Paragus told us at briefing, there're a few reports of failed invasions." A steady male voice said
That voice belonged to their leader, Broko. He was the acting leader for their team, as well as the oldest fighter, being in his late 50s and all. In his days he had experienced a number of battles, and with his expert tactics he's pulled the team out of many sticky situations
"In the files it states that many teams have gone in to attempt to control the area, but none have reported back. This concludes that they may have non-traceable weapons in store." A smart and technical voice said
This was Zucchi, the team's tech expert. He was fairly weak, however he makes up for it in smarts and cleverness. He helps the team with any possible tech problems, as well as scouting and reconnaissance. However he does have a very one track mind, and doesn't socialize too often
"Huh, dumbasses, couldn't even take a few lasers. I sure as hell know I can take them out without a sweat!" A brash and feminine voice yelled
Core, she was the team's strongest fighter, but also the most arrogant. While she does have an overinflated ego, she has the power to back up her words, most of the time...
"You should be careful, after all these teams didn't just die out of no where. We have to be careful." A level headed voice reasoned
The person talking was Ram, the most balanced of the team. She was level headed and cool, with cleaver strategies and a more than decent power level. She is a solid fighter and an excellent person to have your back. She is also the only one to treat Turles with proper respect, which is something he appreciated
"And quit yelling, it burns my ears." The final and worst voice said
The last person was Dulse, the third weakest of the group. While he is strong in his own right, he is far too lazy to be considered a fighter. Instead he usually slacks off and lets everyone else do the fighting. Anytime he begins to fight is when things have truly become desperate
"Quit your whining or I'll beat your ass when we land!" Core yelled once more, hurting Turles' ears
"Isn't it strange that only low level teams have attacked? Why haven't the Elite done so?" Turles imputed as he read a few files
"Cause the Elite are too busy shining their shoes to do anything about it. At this point the only thing they do is stand around while we slave away." Dulse complained
"He's right, the Elite Saiyans see less action than that of the low class Saiyans." Zucchi added
"And you said that no else survived this mission?" Ram asked
"Yeah, which is strange since this planet seems to have a small population, that and their last recorded power level average is ten, but this hasn't been updated in years." Broko explained
"This screams 'suicide' all over it." Ram commented
Turles himself felt nervous about the mission. It wasn't just because not one other team survived, but something just felt strange about it. It felt as if there was something more to it than tough locals
"I don't know, maybe we should reconsider." Turles suggested
"Hah, what's wrong? Nervous about a little death?" Dulse taunted
"Bet your scared of some measly little guns, too bad." Core mocked as well
"Even if we wanted to we can't go back, Paragus is ordering us directly for this mission, and I sure as hell won't try him." Ram explained
Turles took a moment to think before he reluctantly agreed
"Yeah...I guess your right." Turles agreed
"D'aaw, love really does change things." Dulse continued mocking the teen
"Shut up already, before I shoot down your pod." Turles responded in a frustrated tone
"Oooooooh I'm so scared, what else are you gonna do?" Dulse mocked
"Enough, both of you." We need to get some rest if we want to stay alert." Broko ordered
"Fine." Turles said as he turned off the pod's communicator
It was then that he got as close to comfortable as he could before dozing off into sleep
After what seemed like days of travel, the Saiyans finally arrived to the planet. This planet was colored red, with bits and pieces of orange colored grass
The pods landed, and once they did the team revealed themselves while stretching their legs
Turles opened his pod and walked out of it. Around them was a small forest, however in the distance there was a clear city
In front of him, Zucchi was typing in his glass tablet that he stored in his pod. He wore his usual black Saiyan chest plate with a black latex suit underneath and black boots. He also had long, unkept, black hair that he had with a simple pony tail and he had a purple scouter on his right eye
At his right, Broko did stretches with his arms just outside his pod. He wore a dark red Saiyan chest plate with stubby shoulder guards and stubby side skirts. He had only black underwear as well as red boots and red wrist guards. He had short and wavy black hair that was fairly well conditioned, and he also had a red scouter on his right eye
At Turles's left, Core stretched her legs in various ways. She wore a black Saiyan chest plate, with a latex suit underneath which covered the rest of her body. She also wore white gloves and white boots. Her wild brown hair went down to her shoulders in spikes, and she also wore a white bandana around her forehead
Beside her was Ram, looking around the landscape with her yellow scouter that was on her left eye. She had a simple white, Saiyan chest plate and she also had a yellow latex suit with no sleeves. She also had white boots with yellow toes and yellow wrist guards. Her black hair was short with small spikes, and also fairly well conditioned
And finally, Dulse stood behind Turles whilst eating some of his personal rations. He had green Saiyan armor with long side skirts and shoulder pads. He only had black underwear, as well as green boots and green wrist guards. He also had long and wild black hair that went down to his waist, and he wore a white bandana on his right bicep
As Turles scanned their landing site, he put on his dark blue scouter. He used it to scan the city, and once he did a few numbers popped up
"An average of 7? How the hell have these people continued to live?" Turles asked out loud
"They most likely have advanced weaponry." Zucchi answered as he continued to put down numbers and observations on his tablet
The team gathered around to see the vast city in front of them. It was large, with only a few tall buildings and one skyscraper. One thing that caught their eye was a large palace that trumped the size of all other buildings
"So, what's the plan?" Ram asked Broko as he eyed the city
"I'm not too sure, given the chance that they could kill us with guns I say we should infiltrate the city and destroy it from inside." He said as he crossed his arms
"The report says that the last Saiyan assault was less than one cycle ago, we could take advantage of them rebuilding." Zucchi imputed as well
"Why don't we just fly in and cause havoc? It's better than playing all sneaky." Core said impatiently as she was boxing with an imaginary figure
"We aren't going to risk them shooting us out of the skies. We are to split up and attack them on foot." Broko ordered as everyone nodded their heads
And with that the team quickly flew through the surrounding forest, and decided to split up, leaving Turles all alone
The teenage Saiyan flew through the forest and towards the city. After a full minute or two he eventually found a random patch of the grey city wall
"I'm in position." Turles said into his scouter's communicator
Eventually, everyone finally confirmed their locations, and soon they counted down
"On three, one, two, three!" Broko spoke through the communicator
As he said three, there were a few loud explosions from all over the city, however there were no alarms of any sort
Turles then shot down some of the wall in front of him, and proceeded to walk forwards
When he did, he saw various blue skinned reptiles running away in fear, all of various shapes, sizes and genders. Around them were white buildings that were fairly battered and beat, as well as less sleek than the centerpiece of the city
When he saw the crowd of people, he immediately began shooting ki blasts all over the place, killing all in his sight. As he did so he slowly made his way towards the giant building in center of the city
Turles wandered about as he killed people, destroyed buildings and generally became a menace to society. He was on high alert for any weapons that may kill him, but by his observations he was in the poorer area of the city
Eventually, after much time Turles made it to the gigantic building. Once he did he found Zucchi, eyeing the castle down
The castle itself was fairly primitive with white stone walls and domes. The building was large up front, but from a distance it was tall and fairly slim for a castle. However there didn't seem to be a single guard nor sentry posted anywhere on the castle
"Hey, found any weapons?" Turles asked bluntly
"Not one. And no creature showed signs of hostility, which is odd." Zucchi said as he continued to stare at the castle
"Maybe this planet survived on a fluke." Turles guessed as he crossed his arms behind his head
"It is unlikely that three Saiyan teams died on a planet that doesn't defend itself by chance." Zucchi calculated as Turles nodded
"Sure, but let's hurry up already." He said as he proceeded to shoot down the door with a basic ki blast
Turles casually walked into the castle, while Zucchi hesitated for a second before following as well
The inside of the castle was fairly disappointing. It was small and compact, and most of the place was unpainted wood to looked like it was intentional. Nothing about this building deserved to be call 'castle'
The two saw nothing of real interest over the course of five full minutes, there were a few people that they passed by and killed, but aside from that they walked up the tall castle
"I will leave the rest to you." Zucchi said suddenly as he blew a hole into the side of the castle
"See ya." Turles called out as Zucchi flew through the hole
"I might as well enjoy this while it lasts." Turles thought to himself as he continued to float through the castle
Many minutes passed as Turles lazily explored the castle, occasionally finding someone to kill before getting bored again. Currently, he had already exploded the building itself, and he was now in the underground portion of the place
By Turles' personal observations, it seemed as if the building was more of a church than a castle, occasionally finding images of deity's and such carved on the walls. And the people he found mostly had robes and prayed
"How the hell does a place like this kill three Saiyan teams?" Turles asked himself as he looked through the building curiously
While he did mock the planet for being so primitive, the fact that three Saiyan teams have died make this whole situation creepy in a sense, but Turles had no clue as to why
Just as Turles mulled it over, there was a transmission from his team
"Hey Turles, the hell ya' doin? I haven't seen you at all." Core asked in her usual brash way of speech
"I'm rummaging through this center building, maybe something in here can be useful." Turles came up with the excuse, but really he was still a little drained of all these missions back to back
"Hurry it up or I blow it down anyway." She warned before there was no further talk
"Hmph, risking my ass all the damn time, I need a break for once." Turles said out loud
Just then, Turles noticed a strange looking door. Unlike all the rest, this one was painted in black and had carvings that depicted strange and creepy creatures
"Hm, interesting." He said as he flew up to the door and opened it
Within the room there was a faint and dim light which barely illuminated anything inside the room. The walls were dark, and one could barely see the lack of furniture. The walls themselves were painted black, there was one chair, one cauldron and a single chest
On the chair there was what appeared to be an old woman. She had orange scales all over her body, and lots of it was dark and withered. She was short as well and wore rags that covered all but her face and hands
This person looked ominous as she sat in her dark room. Behind her was a large black box as well
"Ah, I've been expecting you." The lady said in a raspy voice
Turles was immediately off put by the environment that he found, as well as the person who sat before him
"And who're you?" Turles asked
"I'm just an old witch in hiding." The lady said before shaking her head
"But I haven't introduced myself, my name is Yurei. I come from a different part of this planet you see." Yurei said as Turles decided to humor the woman
"A different part of the planet? You mean there's more than just cowards and weakling here?" Turles commented as the lady chuckled
"Yes, in fact this planet has five different cities, each one is much more different from the last. This city is the most peaceful of the five, and look where that got them." Yurei said
"And you say your a witch?" Turles asked, as the lady nodded
"So then why are you here of all places?" Turles asked seriously, seeing as how she doesn't seem to meld well with the people he's seen thus far
"That would be because I've decided to run away from home." Yurei said simply
It was then that Turles chuckled, now having lost his ability to keep this play going. He held one arm to face the lady, however she was unfazed
"This is a nice distraction and all but I should get going. Any last words?" Turles asked as the lady only chuckled
"To the point I see. But being a witch is more than reciting spells and incantations." The lady said
"Your point?" He asked
"I know what your deepest desire is, and that of every person in this very planet." Yurei said, making Turles laugh
"Your joking." He said simply
"Oh but I'm not, I know exactly what you want...freedom." She said, which surprised Turles a little
"You want to get away from everything in your life and live it as best you can. You want do and say what you want to whoever you want, just as an eager child would." Yurei specified
The lady's words had an effect on the young Saiyan, making him lower his arm down signaling that he's listening
"I have powers beyond your imagination, and would like to give you a share." Yurei stated
"...and what's the price." Turles asked, hooked on what the lady was saying
"Don't worry, it will come soon enough, I promise you that." Yurei spoke mysteriously, however Turles didn't see anything of it.
"Why are you doing this then? There has to be a catch." Turles said as he raised his arm once more
"I just want to brighten someone's life! After living my life so carefully I want to simply grant one person their greatest desires." Yurei said honestly, however Turles remained suspicious
The teen Saiyan seemed to mull things over in his head, thinking of whether or not to take her up on the offer. In the end he decided accept, seeing this new power as a nice benefit
"Fine, what do I do?" Turles asked as he put down his hand
"Oh it's simple." She said as he turned to the black box behind her
She opened the chest and grabbed a small spiked seed. It was white, however it was pretty small as well
Yurei then turned back to Turles and grinned
"This, is the seed of the Legendary Tree of Might. This tree was once a plant of the gods, until it was taken by a mortal. This tree can grant the user a large sum of power, at the cost of a planet." The lady said as she handed the seed to Turles with care
The Saiyan grabbed it with one hand and observed it before he placed it in a hidden pocket in one of his gauntlets
"This was in the hands of the most powerful city on the planet, kept in secret. However I managed to steal it and hide. And now I give it to you, a warrior with ambition." The lady said
Before Turles could say or do anything else, she began to chuckle loudly before bursting into laughter. As she did the room began to darken further and further, until Turles couldn't even see his hands
After a few seconds, the darkness suddenly disappeared, revealing light. However Turles realized that the woman and everything inside the room was gone, leaving bare wood
"That's odd." Turles said, surprised by the sudden change in room
It was then however that his scouter made a loud pinging noise, catching Turles' attention
Turles looked above him and saw that there was a new power level seemingly out of nowhere, however something about it greatly shocked him
This was far beyond the power of an ordinary warrior, much less a low class Saiyan like him. Even worse the power levels of his team seemed to surround it, however one blinked out of existence, followed by another
"No...no no no no." Turles said with disbelief as he immediately shot the roof, creating a large hole for him to fly through
The young Turles flew in a panicked state through the destroyed City as he saw two power levels blink out as well
When Turles arrived, he was horrified by what he saw before him
There stood a very tall lizard man with purple colored skin, and stood far above 7 feet in height. He wore dark green clothing that resembled that of a cloak, minus the hood
But the more important part was what surrounded him
Around him laid the bodies of his former allies
A few feet in front of him was the body of Core, which was split in half physically, spewing her insides all over the floor. A few feet from her was the body of Zucchi, which was punch through the stomach, spewing blood over the floor as well
Behind the giant lizard laid the body of Broko with no head, which seems to have been shot off with a ki blast. Dulse was also nowhere to be found, however Turles noticed a smoking hole in the ground which was still burning
Alone against the freak was Ram, doing her best as she flew around and avoid the giant's punches, which seemed to move at speeds Turles couldn't even comprehend
Turles flew in and slammed his elbow onto the giant's back, however the giant seemed to stop for a second, unaffected
The young Saiyan was aghast by the power of the giant, as it proceeded to turn around and slam his fist onto Turles' face. The sheer impact felt as though it would knock Turles' head off
Turles was thrown through a few nearby buildings before he recovered and flew back into action
"Kill Driver!!" Ram yelled as she shot a yellow circle at the giant, however he was able to slap the attack out of existence
It was then that the giant moved forwards and punched Ram through the stomach with a glowing right arm. causing Turles to freeze in place
"NO!!!" The Saiyan yelled as Ram fell to the ground
Turles was angered and flew in to face the giant. The man seemed to have been caught off guard, allowing Turles to shoot a bright yellow ball of ki straight into the lizard's eyes
The lizard was blinded, however the most it did was close it's eyes in pain and stand still, allowing Turles to carry Ram and fly away from the city
"Come on stay with me, you have to." Turles panicked as he flew, Ram simply groaned with pain
After the longest minute of his life Turles flew out of the large, primitive city and into the forest full of landing pods
Turles landed and quickly opened his pod to search for any medical supplies, however the more he searched the more frustrated he got as he didn't find anything that could help Ram
"Damnit!!!" He yelled as he slammed the floor in anger
"...Turles..." Ram called out, catching the young Saiyan's attention
Turles rushed to his comrade's aid and help her head up kindly
"What the hell happened?!" Turles asked as Ram coughed up violently and with blood
"That freak...he came up from behind us...he didn't trigger the scouters in time...he ambushed us...he killed Broko and Zucchi...Core went next, and so did Dulse, I was the only one to recover in time." Ram said slowly before coughing violently
"We...we can fix this, yeah, we can fix this. We just need to get back to the force and-" Turles panicked, however he was silenced
"Don't be stupid...there's no saving me anymore." Ram lectured
"You'r wrong! There has to be a way, I can't just lose you like this!" Turles exclaimed
"Listen...I need to tell you something." She said again
"You need...to run from here...go anywhere, just run, save yourself." She pleaded
"What?! No I can't just leave you here!" Turles stubbornly argued, forcing Ram to use the remains of her strength to grab Turles' arm
"Don't be so...stupid. You have to save yourself, there's no way you can survive that freak." Ram said
Turles sat still for a moment, frozen by her words. He knew that she was right, but he couldn't just leave her here, she was all he had left...
"You have to get away...leave this place, do what you want. Just leave, it's no use." Ram said once more
Turles sat there, helpless and breathing heavily in his panic. He tried to think of what to do next, but he was drawing up blanks
Finally, Turles decided to follow his mentor's words
"Fine...fine! I'll leave..." Turles said hesitantly as he slowly put down Ram's body
Turles walked to his pod, and hesitated in entering. Once he did, he closed the hatch, and imputed a few codes into the panel. The ship began to fly upwards
Just then, the large lizard flew into the landing site of the pods. He noticed that one pod was leaving, and decided to charge a purple ball of ki and aimed it towards Turles
However just as he was gonna shoot the ship down, something small seemed to sting his chest, catching the giant's attention
He looked down to see Ram, who had used the rest of her strength to shoot a weak ki blast before she finally laid restless
The giant then aimed his charged ball of ki at Ram, and eviscerated her body with the charged ball of ki
"No!!!!!" Turles yelled as he witnessed the death of his last comrade
Then the giant noticed that the Saiyan pod was far away now, so he shot a simple ball of ki towards Turles
Turles stared wide eyed before the ball exploded very close to him, lighting up the inside of his ship and making Turles pass out
...
Silence
That was all that surrounded Turles
The young Saiyan dreamt no dreams as his damaged ship floated in space, all before crash landing on a greenish-yellow planet, Vampa
And thus, the all knowing being witnesses yet another tragic tale
Roughly one day passed after the ship crashed before Turles tiredly awoke from his slumber, and when he did his head buzzed in pain
The young Saiyan sat still in his chair, allowing the events that had transpired to truly sink in. However just as they did, he noticed a small icon on his black screen. He pressed it, pulling up a video that was sent to him
On the screen was their manager, Paragus, with his short kept, black hair and an eyepatch. He seemed very angered, yet looked like he was hiding it
"This is Paragus coming from home planet Vegeta. I have been gravely notified of the failure in the invasion, and have deemed planet Luchar as a high level planet." The recording spoke, which surprised Turles
"However, I have been notified of your betrayal against the Saiyan ranks, abandoning battle and resulting in the casualties of your fellow Saiyan. And it is because of this I must inform that you have been dishonorably discharged from the Saiyan army, and have been labeled as an outcast." Paragus said, shocking Turles to the core
"Turles, don't you EVER even think about returning home. If you do, you will be executed for your crimes. This is Paragus, signing off." The recording said before the screen blacked out
And just like that, Turles sat completely still, unable to process the message. It wasn't until two empty minutes lasses that he opened the pod door
When he opened the door, he saw the disgusting grey creatures in the distance, as well as the foul colors that radiated from the planet itself
Turles took one good look at the planet he was on, and suddenly slammed his fist against the ground
"Damnit!!! DAMNIT!!!!!!" Turles yelled angrily as he punched the ground repeatedly
The teen Saiyan continued to assault the ground, cracking the earth more and more until finally it broke unto millions of pieces
But this was not enough, and Turles resorted to yelling at the sky as loudly as he could for entire minutes without end
Eventually Turles tired himself out, and then laid on the ground, breathless
He laid cold and still, staring at the ugly yellow sky as he did. The Saiyan took almost an hour to lay motionless, thoughtless
After an hour of thinking, Turles lazily left the ground and simply stood next to his ship, unsure what what he might-no, has to do next
After a few seconds, Turles wordlessly began to gather large stone slabs from around him, sometimes even using ki to shape them into what he wants
After this Turles found a large yellow rock, that was curiously in the shape of a large square. Whether because it was noticeable or because it peaked his interest, Turles decided to place each of the slabs onto the ground in front of it
He spaced them out and inserted them all into the ground before using a little bit of ki to write the names of all five of his allies into the stone
Afterwards, Turles sat motionless in front of the stone slabs. His head was still thoughtless, yet it was much more calm than what it was a second ago
"...I'll always remember you..." Turles uttered in a very raspy voice before he headed back to his ship
"I still remember that day, it was the first time I lost someone close to me, let alone five. I was also forced to wander space unsure of what to do for a while." Turles spoke, as a small tear formed in his eye, which he simply wiped away
"Eventually I grew up a survivor, and learned to use the Seed of Might to my advantage, using it to increase my power and destroy planets along the way. As I did, I suddenly found myself with five more allies through my conquest." Turles continued, almost as if the last part meant little to him
"These five men, Amond, Daiz, Cacao, Lakasei and Rasin followed me after I had destroyed their home planets. I lead my new team known as the Crusher Corps. It was fun for a while, they were a quirky bunch. But sadly, all things come to an end, and their graves are now located next to those of my old crew." Turles summarized
"I spent a few years alone, and overtime life wasn't as great as I had hoped. The Tree of Might stopped multiplying my power, bandits, soldiers and bounty hunters kept me sleepless, and there was no one with me. It wasn't until Cell had found me and kept me from conquering a planet that he invited me to invade Earth." Turles finished, and turned to face his friends, realizing that they were eerily silent
Zangya stared at Turles with sadness on her face, something that the Saiyan never saw on her before. In truth, Zangya never realized how similar she and Turles where
"So that's why...he's lived the same thing." Zangya thought, recalling what Turles did for her after her crew died
Cheelai and Lemo on the other hand, were both on the verge of tears as they attempted to compose themselves. Both of them hadn't felt this way towards someone before, but after hearing Turles' story they now knew just how much pain and suffering came behind the man, and both felt very bad
"Come now, what's with the faces? You asked for my story, and now I've given it." Turles said with a smirk at seeing their faces
"I, I'm sorry for making you have you tell of that, it must've been hard to relive all of that." Zangya apologized
"We just didn't know you've been through so much! Your so lonely and Sad!" Cheelai said through tears as Lemo nodded along
"Oh don't worry about it, any of it. After living with this for years I'm used to it now. I guess I had to get used to it, so now it's all just an old wound." Turles clarified, however none of them felt any better
Seeing as how he was done, Turles got up from the table and stretched a little. Truth be told, telling everyone his past took a lot of time, and now he felt a tad drained, well, even more-so after his training
"Well, it seems I'm done here. I'm going to get some rest." Turles announced before walking to the main bedroom
The three colored skin beings still sat in the table. Cheelai and Lemo continued to wipe tears from their eyes, while Zangya seemed to process the last thing Turles had said
"He's used to it now...It must've been very painful for him to say all of that, no matter what he says." Zangya thought
"Then I guess, if he's here to help keep me company, then I'll help him too." The Heran thought once more before heading out of the kitchen
Bonus Bit: Lost Objective
In the deep of space flew the same curious ship continued to float in space, now reaching It's destination
"Destination reached." The computer spoke through the intercom
"Hm?" Turles asked as he got up from his bed, along with Zangya
"What? I thought you said there weren't any more planets for a while." Zangya asked tiredly and outloud as she dragged herself out of bed
"That's because there aren't, I made sure to check." Turles said as he walked out of the room
When the two entered the hallway, both Cheelai and Lemo slowly walked out the kitchen, rubbing sleep from their eyes. Both of them wore pajamas that they borrowed from Turles and Zangya, a testament to how close the four have become
Cheelai wore a black T-shirt that was a little too big, as well as dark blue pants that were rolled up a little. Lemo wore the same thing, except his shirt was dark purple and his pants were black
"What's-*yawn* up?" Cheelai asked
"Apparently we finally reached our coordinates." Turles said as he walked to the console room and opened the door
When everyone entered, they saw the large monitor display their location in a 2-D fashion, only showing planets that were forwards, to their sides and behind
Turles then pressed a few buttons and shifted it to 3-D, making a small globe-like shape as it labeled their location as well as all of the unmarked planets that surrounded them
On the graph, there were few planets that surrounded them, and their current location labeled no planet at all
"Are you sure you have the right coordinates?" Zangya asked the two
"Of course, everyone knows where Cooler's planet is. Zenón galaxy, X 2069, Y 4890 and Z 1793." Lemo recited as Cheelai nodded
Lemo clicked a few buttons and zoomed out the map, going from planets that are shown to galaxies. While all of the galaxies were unmarked due to the computer having not named the planets, he recognized the distinct shape of a ring as the galaxy. He also double checked the coordinates and the grid to make sure everything was in line, which it was
"Hm, everything's ok to me." Lemo said
"Well something is clearly wrong here." Zangya stated as everyone began to think of what the answer could be
All except Cheelai, who simply yawned in sleep
"Why don't we just look outside? Maybe we'll find something." The green skinned woman thought outloud
Everyone around seemed to think about her words for a second before they all silently agreed, too tired to think any further
The group moved to the entrance door. Zangya pressed a few buttons and opened the door, as well as activating the artificial atmosphere
Cheelai and Lemo took a second to shake in the sudden cold air that enveloped them before they looked outside
To everyone's shocked, there was no planet in front of them. Instead, there in the space in front of them floated various chunks of rock, as well as bits of debris and more
"No way..." Cheelai exclaimed
"What happened?" Zangya asked outloud
The group stated in utter surprise as they continued to stare at the former planet, unwary of the danger that caused it
