However, before the Saiyan siblings could proceed to their subsequent location, an abrupt disturbance erupted. A cadre of police officers hastened toward them, brandishing their weapons, and commanded, "Freeze! Do not move!" The incident in the library had evidently perturbed someone sufficiently to notify the authorities. Tarkor and Brakkar pivoted to confront the officers, their visages transitioning from bewilderment to slight annoyance. Brakkar, positioned above the incapacitated thief, exhaled a profound sigh. "Wonderful, this is precisely what we required," he grumbled. Tarkor, endeavoring to stay composed, elevated his hands in a pacific gesture. "We intend no harm. Our purpose here is to acquaint ourselves with this world."
An officer, aiming his firearm at Tarkor, responded, "We received a notification concerning a commotion and potential property damage. You both are required to accompany us." As Brakkar moved to protect his sibling, Tarkor intervened with a hand to his chest. "Let's not escalate this," he advised firmly. The officer, intimidated by Brakkar's imposing figure, cautioned them. "No sudden moves," he said tensely. From Beerus's temple, Whis observed with interest. "It appears our Saiyan acquaintances are encountering the local authorities," he noted to Lord Beerus. Unperturbed, Beerus continued his meal. "They must learn to manage on their own," he remarked nonchalantly. Whis allowed himself a small laugh. "Indeed, understanding Earth's social intricacies is as crucial as its history," he mused.
Meanwhile, Tarkor addressed the officers with composure. "We mean no harm. We're foreigners here, in pursuit of knowledge and harmony." The officers relaxed their stance, perceiving the Saiyans as non-threatening. Brakkar, gazing at his now-dropped ice cream, expressed his disappointment. "I had looked forward to enjoying that," he stated regretfully. The commanding officer signaled for backup to secure the perimeter. "Alright, we're taking you in for questioning. No funny business, understood?" Tarkor nodded. "Understood. We will comply peacefully."
As the officers readied to escort the Saiyans, the brothers shared a glance. Despite the unforeseen circumstances, they recognized this incident as yet another stride in their quest to comprehend and safeguard the new world they had embraced. As the Saiyan brothers were being escorted, Brakkar's towering ten-foot stature presented a unique challenge; he was simply too large for the squad car. Additionally, the handcuffs were not ample enough to restrain both him and Tarkor. In a moment of exasperation, Brakkar exclaimed, "Would it be easier if I just did this?" Approaching the squad car, he hoisted it into the air with ease. "Now, where to?" he inquired, as the officers looked on in utter astonishment.
"E...E...Elaine Street, number 598, Police Station," one officer stammered. "Brakkar, you idiot. Try to recall the wisdom of Whis!" Tarkor snarled. "Those iron carts just aren't spacious enough for me!" Brakkar snapped back. The police officers, startled by the unexpected sight of their squad car hoisted by a formidable Saiyan, swiftly concluded that the brothers required an alternative mode of transportation. However, finding such a solution proved futile, and thus, the officers permitted them to continue on foot. From a distance, Whis watched the unfolding events with amusement. "It seems our friends are getting a practical lesson on the constraints of Earth," he remarked. Beerus, unfazed, continued to enjoy his meal. "They'll be fine as long as they don't stir up too much chaos," he commented. In the face of these unusual circumstances, Tarkor and Brakkar complied with the officers, heading towards the precinct. They recognized this incident as yet another obstacle in their quest to comprehend and safeguard Earth.
Upon their arrival at the police station, Brakkar and Tarkor immediately became the center of attention for the officers and staff. Brakkar's considerable stature posed a challenge as he tried to move around the building, often inadvertently colliding with doorways and furniture, which provoked a range of reactions from nervous chuckles to outright amazement from those watching. Before stepping into the station, Brakkar recalled the police vehicle he had previously hoisted and gently placed it back on the pavement outside. The officers observed with disbelief as Brakkar set the vehicle down with ease, to which he commented cheerfully, "There, your metal steed is returned to its rightful spot." The interrogation session only intensified the officers' bewilderment. Officer Johnson, a veteran on the force, conducted the questioning. He inquired of Tarkor with a blend of incredulity and intrigue, "Are you suggesting that your origins are from beyond our local area?" Tarkor nodded. "That's correct. We are from a different planet. Our purpose here is to learn about Earth."
Officer Ramirez raised an eyebrow. "A different planet, you say? And we're supposed to believe that?" Brakkar, growing impatient, cut in, "Absolutely, it's the real deal! Can average Earthlings pull off such feats? I think not!" He flexed his muscles, and a nearby chair groaned under the pressure. Officer Johnson, maintaining his composure, inquired, "Alright, what about the library incident? Why did you destroy the device?" Tarkor responded calmly, "I was attempting to gather information on certain individuals. The device's failure to provide the needed information led to my frustration." Officer Ramirez shook his head, still skeptical. "So, you wrecked it simply because it didn't deliver the answers you sought?"
Tarkor nodded. "In simple terms, yes." The officers exchanged bewildered glances. "And your friend here," Officer Johnson gestured to Brakkar, "why did he lift our squad car?" Brakkar shrugged. "Your iron cart was too small for me. I thought it would be easier if I carried it." Officer Johnson sighed and massaged his forehead. "Certainly, this is unprecedented." Following a quick consultation, the authorities opted to issue a warning to the Saiyan siblings. Nonetheless, Tarkor was obliged to settle a fine of 300 zeni for the damage caused to the library's equipment. Luckily, Tarkor retained the pouch of currency they had obtained upon their initial arrival on Earth.
As Tarkor extended the pouch of zeni for the fine, Brakkar let out a laugh at the oddity of their predicament. "It's fortunate we held onto this," he remarked, smiling. An officer, still perplexed by the ordeal, presented Tarkor with a receipt. "Take this. And please, avoid further disturbances." Tarkor nodded with solemn understanding. "We comprehend. We shall exercise greater caution." Departing the station, Brakkar elbowed his brother. "Quite the adventure, wasn't it? What lies ahead for us now?" With a sigh and a stern, grim expression, Tarkor responded, "Our aim is to steer clear of further troubles. There's still so much to grasp about this world." From a distance, Whis watched and chuckled. "They're leaving quite the mark, wouldn't you say, Lord Beerus?"
Beerus, at the end of his meal, let out a sly grin. "Provided they refrain from wreaking havoc on anything of significance, it's merely a part of their odyssey." Having navigated their unforeseen encounter with authority, Tarkor and Brakkar embarked anew, resolute in their quest to delve deeper into the mysteries of Earth and its denizens. After the Saiyan brothers departed the station, the officers convened to deliberate on the strange occurrences that had transpired. The Saiyans' presence was marked by profound indentations in the tile floors where they had stood. Desks showed signs of chipping and bending due to Brakkar's inadvertent impacts, and inexplicably, the wheels of the squad car that Brakkar had hoisted had partially melted. An officer, surveying the damaged squad car, flooring, and furnishings, inquired, "Shouldn't we charge the big guy for all this damage?"
The Chief, pressing a damp cloth against his forehead, let out a profound sigh. "No, I don't wish to see those two again. Let's count our blessings they left without causing more trouble." However, not all officers were prepared to dismiss the incident. Officer Mina, resolute and inquisitive, remained detached from her colleagues, her thoughts teeming with unanswered questions. "We can't just ignore this," she said to herself. "There has to be more to those two than they're letting on." As the other officers started to scatter, Mina made her way towards the Chief. "Sir, I want to investigate this further. Something about those two doesn't add up. They claimed to be from another planet, and their abilities... It's just not normal."
The Chief, maintaining pressure on his head with the cloth, emitted a groan. "Mina, we've got enough on our plates without adding extraterrestrial investigations. Just let it go." But Mina was resolute. "I can't, sir. I need to get to the bottom of this. If they're telling the truth, it could be important." The Chief gave her a brief look, noting the resolve in her gaze. "Alright, Mina. But keep it quiet. We don't need a media circus over this. And be careful." Mina nodded, already forming a plan. "Thank you, sir. I'll be careful." As she departed, her thoughts teemed with potential discoveries. The Saiyan siblings had left a notable impact, and she was resolute in learning more about them. Simultaneously, Tarkor and Brakkar proceeded on their voyage, oblivious to the resolute officer who was now following their enigmatic trail on Earth.
