Lazuli was sitting a little uneasy and wouldn't mind being able to walk around, maybe she'd be a little less antsy. she kept looking at the display on the ship that showed the time, as well as the galactic map that showed the distance from where they were to their location. Jerren looked over at her, 'I know, as an android, you could survive in a vacuum, not needing oxygen and all. but, my ship would still be faster. we're going as fast as we can. with a little luck, we arrive at the same time they do. if not, than we'll arrive when they're in the act of poaching. we'll safe this Minotaurus, any other creature they have on board and arrest them.' Lazuli nodded, 'I know. I know that's the plan. but,... just,... the first time I am going back to Earth. I am just,... a bit, worried, if humans might see me. I know I deserve their anger. and I know they can't do anything to hurt me. but, having realised what I was to them, like; what Cell was to me, a terrible monster, I don't want to be confronted with that. I may say I have improved, trying to do better. but that's no comfort after years of me and my brother,... killing them,... for sport. I just wonder, if I will ever be good enough to be redeemed.' Jerren nodded, 'you will be. for all the years you have been evil, you'll work five times longer being good, if not more. for all the people you killed, you'll spend the rest of your life saving lives. remain in control, keep a calm and level head, do your job, follow the rules and everything will be fine.' Lazuli nodded, 'yeah. how long do you think they'll keep tracking us? listening in on us? I don't mind so much that my ki blasts are suppressed, don't need them much. but mostly; the threat of how they'd execute me. was that really necessary?' Jerren sighed, 'honestly, I was against it. if you slipped up and broke the rules, than I was fine with you going back to prison and I would serve some time myself, taking responsibility since I got you released. but, they wanted to be sure they could handle you, should you go rogue.' Lazuli nodded, 'is that also why some of the patrol officers are letting themselves be rebuild as androids?' Jerren nodded, 'yes. though that procedure is only for the elites. those who have worked the longest, have the cleanest records, best control of their strength. it helps against the remnants of the Frieza force, but also against the possibility of greater threats popping up in the future.' Lazuli nodded, 'like me, or Cell. or something worse. well, even those guys back on Earth going blond didn't really help against us. so, with the Galactic Patrol's better technology, your elites will be true elites for sure.' Jerren nodded, 'the guys going blond were actually half Saiyans. the Saiyans were a race of alien warriors. and some could reach a stronger form. what you refer to as going blond, is what they called their; super saiyan transformation.' she slightly smirked, 'super huh? well, none of them could do much against me and my brother when they went; super.' Jerren grinned, 'and yet it's the half saiyan that remained who went Super that defeated Cell, after absorbing your brother. so, you tell me whether he's super or not?' she side eyed him a moment, before checking the map again, 'are we there yet?' he shook his head, 'no, just an hour to go though.' she nodded, looking at the ship, than at herself, before thinking of something, 'say, if your technology is so advanced, yet your scientists are still learning from that freak Gero, than can't they use his knowledge and their tech to upgrade these ships to go faster?' he shrugged, 'I don't know. maybe it's something they should look into. and with them listening in on us, maybe that information will be passed on.' Lazuli nodded, filling the hour with a bit of a lighter tone of conversation. asking if Jerren himself might become an android like her, if he had the choice. he wasn't sure yet. plus, he didn't have the reputation of the best of the best yet. plus, he wasn't sure if he wanted that kind of a power boost, if it wasn't something he had earned for himself through hard work and training. she wondered whether training would still work for her, to which he answered that she had learned to sense energy, where before she had nothing like that. no kind of internal scanner for such things. which proved, she could train her mind. and while an android, he believed she could also train her body. as the Earth came into view, they also saw another ship drawing near to the earth. Jerren scanned its signature and nodded, 'that's them.' he send out a message to contact them. and as they answered, he told them, 'this is the Galactic Patrol. we know you're poachers and we know for what reason you have come to the earth. surrender at once and put up no resistance and your sentence might be reduced.' Lazuli looked at Jerren, 'are you sure that will work?' he shrugged, 'probably. just following procedure. let's see if they're intelligent enough to accept. the poacher's response, their ship turned toward the patrol ship, before opening fire.' Jerren sighed, 'that was to be expected.' activating his ship's shields, before flying around the ship's guns, blocking the few shots that managed to hit. having reached the ship, he forcibly docked, linking both their ships. Jerren nodded toward Lazuli, 'remain in control this time. these guys are more aggressive than Geppuman.' she nodded and got up, walking off his ship and into the Poacher ship. Jerren followed after her and saw how a group of armored guards showed up, opening fire on her. she raised her arms and simply blocked the blasts and batted them aside. she simply walked forward, knocking the blasts down against the ground, against the hallways and the ceiling. she sighed, 'you guys do realise that all this shooting is doing more damage to the ship than to me, right?' the guards stopped shooting and looked at each other. it was just a second, but it was more than enough. Lazuli jumped behind them and with one roundhouse kick knocked all of them against the ground. taking out some handcuffs, she cuffed many of them together, while taking their weapons from them, 'you guys are under arrest, for poaching, resisting arrest, shooting at a Galactic patrol vehicle and its officers.' Jerren nodded, 'good. they used lethal force, you showed restraint. well done.' she smirked, 'depends on what you call lethal and to who.' the two continued and entered the ship's bridge, where the main Poacher was along, with his final two guards, who wielded swords of some kind. Jerren smirked, 'quite old fashioned guys. the armored guys with guns looked more impressive.' the Poacher, a man with dark green skin, a bald scaly head and fat red lips, Lazuli though his head kinda looked like a frog, scowled at them, 'don't just stand there, attack! what am I paying you goons for?' the two sword wielders rushed forward. Lazuli took a ready stance, but Jerren leapt forward, overhead, putting his hands on the guards heads, before slamming them together, knocking both of them out. as he landed, he cuffed them, 'still, attacking with intent to kill, that's not gonna look good for your sentence. nor for the guy who told them to attack us.' he turned around and Lazuli joined him, with now only the main poacher remaining. she frowned, 'I had kinda hoped for something more impressive. someone who maybe wrestled beasts to the ground by himself. but this guy seems dependent on his technology and his guards. not much he can do by himself.' the Poacher was slightly shivering, 'hey come on now. you don't have to arrest me. I can give you a share of the bounty. do you have any idea for how many credits these beasts sell? the three of us could be rich. in fact, why don't you two ditch that lame Galactic Patrol and join up with me. I clearly need some better muscle. and you two are absolutely cut out to work for me.' Lazuli frowned, 'thanks for saying that. we just recorded everything you said. that's a confession, attempting to bribe officers, trying to get out from being sentenced, which can be filed under resisting arrest.' Jerren nodded, 'and if you want some better muscle, I'd recommend that you do some physical exercise. and more than pressing buttons and reaching for the nearest snack.' the Poacher however grinned, 'well, I am warning you. don't come any closer! I've got a bomb in my chest. strong enough to blow up this ship and everyone on board. leave now, or I'll kill both of you!' Lazuli sighed, before rushing forward and punching the guy hard in the gut, knocking him out cold, 'if you're gonna bluff about having a bomb, than bluff like you're already activating it. warnings just give time.' as the poacher was arrested and Jerren started the flight back to the Galactic Patrol HQ, he smiled, 'well done. staying in control. but, how did you know his bomb was a bluff?' she shrugged, 'I got a bomb in my chest. I know how having one feels.'
