Of course, you had no intention of dying on this mission to Onisthena II. Suicidal orders or not, you were more than ready to overcome everything that stood in your way, just as you did in the training camps. The sorcerous magic and poisons of the Onisthenians would be no different. Though you still wanted answers. You wanted to know why your flight path led you straight through a meteor swarm that did a great deal of damage to all four of the Saiyan Pods on the mission. You knew that the mission was supposed to be suicidal, but... to set your flight path through a meteor swarm was a cowardly way to deal with you and Parzlee. You hoped that it was merely coincidence, but... King Vegeta seems like the sort of man who would do anything to cling onto power. He was the first of his lineage, after all, and he had yet to truly consolidate power beyond simply being the strongest of the Saiyans.

You put your thoughts of the past aside for now, as you press the door release button on your Pod. There's no response. The crash landing must've damaged your pod more than you thought. You try to push the door open, but you soon found that it wasn't going to open unless you did something... drastic. You sighed as you smashed the door open with a kick, smashing the hinges to pieces and blasting the door and a thick layer of ice that had sealed it in place into a nearby wall in the ice cave you were in.

That's... odd. There's no entry point for your pod? You look around the cave, it was composed entirely out of ice, and there wasn't a single sign of the sort of impact you would've expected from crash landing on a planet, either. Could your pod have been carried to this cave then? No, that wouldn't make any sense. You couldn't have been unconscious from the impact for that long, could you? You were kind of disappointed in yourself that you were knocked out from the impact. A Super-Elite such as yourself shouldn't be incapacitated by something so simple as a Pod Crash!

You look around the ice cave as you pull yourself from your pod. The icy floor too slippery to bother trying to walk on, so you just hover slightly above the ground instead. You look through the cave for a while, trying to find signs of your other squad members or an exit to this cave.

After a few minutes of looking around, you finally find exactly what it is that you're looking for! A Saiyan Pod! Dented, battered, and frozen in place, but a Saiyan Pod nonetheless! The observation window was too frozen over to see who was inside!

Just as you're about to pull the door off of its hinges and reunite yourself with one of your missing squad members, you hear a low guttural growling sound behind you, and you slowly turn to find yourself face to face with a savage beast over four times your size standing on six limbs, white fur and a mouth full of teeth.. The monster roared at you loudly, and you rapidly raised a hand up to tune your Scouter, fiddling with the dial on the side of the power level recorder in order to get a read on the beast.

As you finished tuning the dial, you finally got a reading. "Power level... 1400? You're one hell of a tough beast, aint'cha?!" It was an immensely powerful animal, and you could tell that the animals of this planet were likely all monsters just like this one. It was no match for you, but... if Khive fought this beast, there was a high chance of her getting injured, or even losing! You dodge away from the first strike of the monster, before looking at it while you decided how to take it out.

You formed a ball of green ki in your hand as you kept your distance from the alien beast. Your specialty attack that you worked on during your time training, and one of the reasons you were able to win so many battles even back then. You tossed the tiny ball of green energy at the monster as it swiped its claws at you once again. You flew backwards away from the monster as the ball of energy collided with its face, but unlike with most of the energy attacks used by your peers, your attack was special.

It simply... stuck to the monster which started to panic as half of its vision was obscured by a green orb which it couldn't shake off. As the creature began to panic, you clenched your fist, and the ball of energy exploded, erasing the beast's head in an explosion of green light and leaving the headless body of the large monster to collapse. You had spent months mastering the remote detonation of your own energy attacks. Culminating in the creation of the Ki Mine. While it wasn't a flashy technique, your ability to confuse an enemy by having balls of energy explode before hitting their guard allowed you to take even the most observant of enemies off of their guard, unless they were already aware of the ability, of course. Not to mention that it allowed you to set traps up to gain an advantage in a battle against your enemies.

"I hope there aren't more of those things." You mused to yourself, while you had very little difficulty exterminating a single one of those beasts, a swarm of them could likely end up overwhelming you. You don't hear any signs of activity from elsewhere in the cave, so you turn your back to the dead beast, looking at the pod in front of you.

You look at the space pod for some time, wondering if you should open it up just yet. If Khive is in this pod, she could end up being a liability you'd need to protect with her low power level. Two of those monsters would make short work of the youngest and weakest member of your squad, so you weren't sure if you should open up the pod first, or do some more scouting... though you supposed you could always just pick the pod up and take it with you until you were out of the cave.

>>What will Rettace do?

You approach the pod, blasting a ball of ki at the ice sealing the door shut before you grab hold of the two sides of the doors and start to pull. Saiyan Attack Pods are hardy machines, of course, being designed to both survive and help allow the passenger to survive impacts at high speed, usually right into the stronghold of whoever their target was. Luckily for you though, you were more than strong enough to easily tear apart practically every material you've ever come across, and Saiyan Pods were no exception to that.

With a grunt of effort, you pulled the sealed door open, the electromagnetic locks of the ship snapping as you pulled it open. You're almost blown off your feet as upon being opened, a great jet of white smoke bursts forth!

You raise your hand to your face, protecting yourself from the freezing gas jetting out of the pod, the freezing substance being blasted towards you leaving a minor frost burn on the back of your hand, turning some of your flesh red as leaving a stinging sensation on your hand before you manage to get out of the way of the white smoke.

You rub your sore hand with a frown as the last of the gas in the pod is expelled from it, leaving it safe to approach it once more, but... freezing gas? You had heard something like that was being installed onto the newer models of the Saiyan Pods, but... you did kind of skip out on learning about that part of your Attack Pod. So long as it got you from A to B, you didn't really care how it did it.

You approach the pod now that the rest of the gas had been jettisoned from it, pulling the door the rest of the way open. Your eyes take a moment to adjust to the relative darkness of the pod interior, and you see the smaller form of Khive laying unconscious inside the pod. She wasn't tiny, but... among Saiyan Women, she was definitely more on the petite side. Of course, her stature and lower power would lead you to believe that she was more meek and submissive, but Khive was quite the opposite, usually.

She wasn't waking up immediately, so you checked to make sure her heart was still beating and that she was still breathing. She was, thankfully. So you grabbed her from her pod and slung her over your shoulder. Dusting some of the ice that had stuck to her out of her short hair as you do. You started to get just a little bit suspicious about the ice now too. When you first woke up, you were coated in the stuff just like Khive was. Annoyingly enough though, you just didn't have enough experience with the Pods to know whether this sort of stuff was normal or not when landing in an icy environment.

You knew that the exit to this place had to be somewhere. It was too bright for you to be that deep in the ice cave, and light must've been reflecting into the cave from somewhere. You've not found a path deeper, or any signs of the other two pods that must've crashed at least somewhere nearby, so with Khive slung over your shoulder, you start to try to find the exit to the ice cave.

It takes about five minutes of exploration until you've finally found the exit, and you are met with a bracing blast of cool air as you emerge on a mountaintop, giving you a good look at the surrounding area. You observe just what there is in your immediate surroundings, seeing a few things of note.

File: Mountain Top.jpg (4.6 MB, 2592x3872)

4.6 MB JPG

The first is a large gathering of those six legged creatures. At least three dozen of them of varying sizes, the largest of which is at least twice the size of the already huge creatures. A pack alpha, perhaps? You try to tune your scouter to determine the approximate power level of the huge beast, but find yourself unable to tune it from here. You had heard that an automatic tuning system had been in development and was going to be releasing soon, but for now, the manual system was the best the Saiyans had access to. Curiously, in the center of their nest appeared to be a large crystal of ice, with something... circular, inside it? Damn it! That's a Saiyan Attack Pod!

The second was a crater, long since overgrown, but... it looked something like how a Saiyan Attack Pod crater was meant to look... something to note, of course, but it couldn't possibly be a Saiyan Pod Crater. The last mission to Onisthena was only a few months ago, nowhere near long enough for it to be that overgrown!

The third was what looked like a village, distant, but only a few minutes away if you flew, even with Khive slung over your shoulder and your speed reduced. It could be a good way to get some information on the planet, the Onisthenians were a humanoid type race, same as the Saiyans, so it's possible that they wouldn't be hostile on sight to you. Of course, you doubt that anybody in a sleepy little village like that would be able to put up much of a threat to you. Thankfully, unlike many of your fellow Saiyans, you knew that Saiyans were... not a well liked race across the galaxy, and seeing as this mission specifically wasn't meant as a conquest, you were intelligent enough to keep your tail concealed by wrapping a strip of fabric around your waist, you could likely just pass yourself off as any standard humanoid type thanks to that.

Of course, you could always just fly around in an attempt to get a better look at your surroundings...

You decide to go to the Monster Nest first, the Saiyan Pod frozen in the ice crystal over there is something that you can't risk ignoring. If another of your squad-mates is inside it, they would be invaluable to you right now, be it Scalli or Parzlee. Especially Parzlee. The two of you were supposed to be the pride of the Saiyans, a promise that the two of you had made with each other all those years ago back when you managed to draw against her in the first combat test when you first started being trained. A promise that had driven the two of you to greater and greater heights, the motivation to always be better culminating in two of the strongest new Saiyan Warriors that had ever been seen.

As you look at the ice crystal, you suddenly get the urge to inspect your Scouter. It had a hardy design, built to last decades, just like the Pod, and you wanted to make sure that it wasn't going to suddenly go on the fritz out of nowhere. Looking at the creation date stamp on the Scouter, 'Created A672'. Annoying that this was supposed to be the last model before they switched onto the new design, but what can you do? You'll just get your new model when you return successful after you complete your mission. The Queen of Onisthena was supposed to be monstrously powerful. Her level of strength was great enough that even your squad, consisting of two Super-Elites, was told to avoid her at all costs. Even more annoying was that this planet lacked a natural satellite, so you couldn't even rely on that to access the form of the Oozaru. If only there were some way to avoid needing to rely on the moon for the transformation, then Saiyans would go from a feared race of planet conquerors, to the undisputed rulers of the galaxy! Among your allies, only you and Parzlee could remain in control of yourselves during the transformation, it was a special training limited only to the Super-Elites.

Finished with your inspection of your Scouter, you put it back on, and you cycle through the vision modes on the device, switching to the information mode. "Interstellar date... 750!?" You yelled in surprise at the year. There's no way that could be right! That's a difference of almost eighty years! "Damn thing must've taken a knock during the fall." You talk to no-one in particular. Khive certainly can't hear you right now. You consider taking her Scouter off to check the date on it, but decide against it. You can't let yourself get caught up on the incorrect date on your scouter.

You turn your attention back to the Monster Nest, they hadn't noticed you yet, obviously, so you started to devise a plan. Looking at the dozens of monsters as they tore apart some bizarre looking animal carcass, you realized that you could definitely use the surroundings to your advantage here. You could set up a trap for the beasts and drop half of the mountaintop on them by using your Ki Mines to detonate a pass after tricking them all into following you! That's not even to mention the damage you'd do with the explosions themselves!

ROLLING

You smirk as you look for the perfect place to set up your trap, flying around until you find a good enough looking pass through one of the mountaintops to set it. When you find one that is acceptable for your purposes, you set Khive down, propping her up against a rock as you release some of your power, generating a Ki Mine in both of your hands and throwing one after the other, forming another Ki Mine in the opposite hand as you finish throwing the previous. Before long, 32 of the glowing orbs of green energy are glistening in the mountain pass. While anybody with a discerning eye would be able to pick them out, not many would know what the green orbs were. Before you activate them, they are basically inert balls of physical light. Unless they destabilized them by themselves, the Ki Mines were more stable than any form of explosive weaponry you'd ever seen... Not that you often saw such weaponry on Planet Vegeta. You personally always thought that King Vegeta renaming Plant after himself was a little bit... arrogant. What if he got usurped? Would the planet just change its name to whoever was currently ruling it? Probably not worth thinking about the King's vanity.

Satisfied with your work, you start to make your way towards the Monster Nest. Forging a path through the snowy mountaintops in order to lure them back into your trap. It had taken quite a lot of energy to set up this many Ki Mines. While they weren't that expensive to create, using them to this degree was always guaranteed to get a little tiring. It took a few minutes to find a path to the six-legged beasts on foot, not wanting to give away to the monsters that you could fly. You weren't certain what sort of intelligence level that these creatures had, but there was always the chance that they would just ignore you if they believed you to be able to fly.

Soon though, you stood only a few hundred meters away from the beasts. Finally getting close enough to tune your Scouter to their presences, you notice a varying selection of power levels on the monsters. Ranging anywhere from 800 for the smallest ones, to 2500 for the largest few. Of course, the real surprise was the huge one. Whatever these beasts were, there was no doubt that the huge one was either the Pack Alpha, or their king. With a power level of 5043, this thing alone could ravage most planets unopposed! You grit your teeth, there weren't any reports of wild beasts with this level of strength just living on Onisthena! Still, as a Super-Elite, you still outclassed the huge white-furred monster, and it was your move to make.

You walked up to the savage beasts, making your presence known. "Hey! Look over here! I'm a defenseless Onisthenian! Don't chase me!" You yelled at the creatures at the top of your lungs, before with a nail, you caused a small cut on your palm in order to give the creatures a scent of your blood.

You plan worked wonders, and before long, almost all of the beasts had started to race after you, including the King! Only a few of the smaller ones remained in the nest! Excellent!

You led them back down the pass, making sure that you matched their pace and didn't run too fast. You even let them gain on you at one point, ensuring that they didn't give up on the chase. You let them believe that you were moments away from faltering, all the way until you stood in the middle of the narrow pass that you had set your trap up in, and at that exact moment you leapt high into the air, flying upwards as you looked at the hopeless beasts beneath you!

The beasts try to fruitlessly launch themselves into the sky in an attempt to grab you even now, and you are forced to hammer kick one back down to the ground with the back of your foot, before you raise your hand and smile. You clench your fist, allowing the energy contained within each of the Ki Mines to destabilize, and the ground beneath you explodes in a curtain of green energy and sparks.

KRAKOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

Not only does the explosion of energy decimate the monsters chasing after you, catching each and every one in the radius of the explosions, it also brings the mountains around them down on top of any of the survivors! Millions of tons of rock and rubble smash downwards onto the surviving beasts as two mountains collapse, crushing them all. You might be strong, but even you'd be crushed if you got caught in something like that. If you charged all of your energy into a single shot, you might be able to fire a shot that would destabilize the planet's core, but that didn't mean you could lift the planet.

After watching the mountains crush the monsters with a satisfied smirk, you land on the ground. You're about to return to the monster nest, until...

CRAAAAASH

The huge beast that you had assumed had been crushed by the rubble smashed all the way through the rocks pinning it with a mighty roar! Despite a few singed patches of fur, it didn't even look like it had been that harmed by your attacks either!

"It's never that easy, is it?" You sigh as you look at the giant beast as it eyed you with primal hatred. It started to charge at you with speed far greater than the colossal size of the beast would've implied it could've moved with.

I am, last update for the day is on the way.

You fly towards the beast as it charges at you, pretending that you're going to meet the charging monster head on, while all the while, you're actually charging a Ki Mine up in your left hand. The creature looks furious as it continues the charge, and you don't stop your charge, aura blazing around you as you charged at maximum speed towards the beast, until finally, you were close enough. The creature opened its mouth in an attempt to bite you in half, but it had fallen for your trick! Instead of actually meeting the creature, you instead flipped through the air, turning yourself upside down as you tossed the Ki Mine into the creatures mouth, before quickly writing yourself in the air. You looked down at the creature, which seemed to be coiling energy into its legs in another attempt at a leap, but you didn't care.

"Time to say goodnight." You speak directly to the beast for the first time as you clench your fist. Causing the ball of energy caught in its mouth to detonate! The monster's jaw is blown clean off by the explosion, but.. "What?!" You were unprepared for it to survive, and without further warning, the beast leapt upwards. You struggled to get out of the way of the monstrous hulk of muscle and claws, but you were too surprised, and too slow to get out of the way of one of the claws of the giant beast, earning a large gash on your left arm for your troubles.

Of course, after you had managed to mostly avoid the monster's counter attack, it was in the air, defenseless. "Damn it!" You'd had enough of dealing with the huge beast, so you formed a large Ki Mine with your right hand and threw it at the exposed throat of the monster, the fact that it was missing its jaw turned the end of the fight more into target practice than an actual difficult shot. You rarely missed with your Ki Mines anyway, precision aiming was crucial when you want to set traps up, especially if you want to do it from a distance.

Of course, for this creature, all you needed to do now was clench your first. The adhesive ball of energy had stuck right to the opening of its throat, it was going to do before it even hit the ground. "Disappear!" You clenched your fist one final time, and the large ball of energy imploded before exploding outwards with a shock wave of force and power. The resulting explosion of energy separated the creatures head from its body, and left you with a ginormous corpse. You'd taken the head of the beast, just like you did with the first one of these alien animals that you fought against.

It was a surprisingly tough adversary, but... you were just being sloppy. You shouldn't have let yourself get hit there. But... all things considered, you don't think you did pretty badly against a creature with raw power great enough to rank it at such a high level. You imagine that you would've been quickly overwhelmed by the resilient hide of the beast and massive physical strength had you attempted to fight against it physically. Something to keep in mind, you suppose. The Scouter wasn't an all-knowing threat detecting device. It could only give a basic summary of the relative threat represented by a given target in the state it views them again. Seeing as some alien races had the ability to transform, Saiyans included, the device was far less useful than it first seemed. Especially having to manually tune it to determine a power level, that was just a pain in your ass.

You stood atop the smoldering body of the giant beast, and you realized you were getting kind of hungry. While it wouldn't exactly be feasible to just carry the huge beast with you, it would be quite possible for you to keep this body fresh while you dealt with things. You drag the heavy body of the beast towards the whole it had emerged from before you found a big rock to cover the hole with. When you'd gotten the other Saiyan Attack Pod out of the ice, you had every intention of having them help you lift the monster out of the pit so that it could be prepared and eaten.

You looked in the direction of the nest, and then the area you left Khive. There were a few of the monsters left at the Nest, and Khive was still total dead weight. You could see her from here, the scouter giving a weaker reading for the unconscious woman. Of course, it would save less time if you took her with you, and the weather on the top of the mountain must be pretty dreadful for a sleeping person to cope with. Though it's not like you really had much in the way of cold resistant clothing either.

>>What will Rettace do?

>>4913368
>constantly giving impossible successes,

Impossible *DC's* bleh, fuck typing at 4 AM.

You'll take Khive with you, even if she's safe where you left her, you're the squad leader, and you all need to stick together. You aren't going to take any chances, especially not when beasts as powerful as that white haired alpha are around the area. You think that you managed to wipe out the majority of them, but the potential for there being another nest of the beasts in the area isn't something you can discount. Clearly though, whatever those things are, they are the apex predators of this part of the planet. It's easy to see why too. The leader of that group was powerful enough to hurt even a Super-Elite! If you were less careful, you might've ended up being swarmed by the monsters and overwhelmed! Of course, that wasn't likely. As a Super-Elite, you were confident in your ability to deal with a bunch of brutes like that, they couldn't fly, so your victory was practically assured from the start. Maneuverability is key in fights against enemies like this, and an enemy that can't fly is... well, not exactly a challenge in that regard. You were just taken off guard by the leg strength of the Alpha.

Putting aside your last thoughts of the now dead Alpha, you look up towards Khive, flying towards the boulder you propped her up on. You set down on the ground as you approach the girl, the snow was crunching underneath your boots, and the girl stirred a little. "Parzl...?" She called out the name of her sister, and you felt a little guilty. She wasn't conscious yet, but this was a sign that she was close to waking up.

"Up we go!" You grabbed the girl by the waist again and slung her over your shoulder once more, she didn't stir much after you did that, Khive was Parzlee's twin, which was why it was such a mystery to everyone why the two of them had such inconsistent levels of strength. They weren't identical of course, but it was still quite strange regardless.

With Khive over your shoulders, you fly towards the monster nest once again, throwing a few Ki Mines at a few of the remaining beasts and blowing them away before landing. The area was completely clear, and the only people remaining were you and Khive, as well as whoever was still trapped within the ice crystal.

Looking at the ice crystal, you do a few calculations in your head as to the destructive force required to destroy it, but at the same time, ensure that the Pod inside of the crystal remains relatively undamaged. It was a simple matter to destroy it after calculating the power needed in your head, and after an explosion of energy, you were left staring at the Attack Pod, but just as you approached it...

"Stop right there, trespassers! You're trespassing on sacred ground!" A voice called out behind you, and you sighed. Looks like somebody must've taken notice of the noise caused by the mountain collapse earlier. What a damn annoyance. You turned around to look at the man speaking, and you found yourself looking at a varied group of humanoids, all with a variety of skin tones, some had shades similar to your own, while others had green, red and yellow skin. Some of them had horns protruding from their heads too. "The punishment for this crime shall be decided by the queen!" You frown at the man, slowly raising your hand to your scouter in order to determine his power level, and you almost do a double take when you discover just how powerful he is. The readout on the scouter showing 7320! The underlings surrounding him were all far weaker though. But even so, they were still roughly in the range of 1000-1400 each!

The man in question was wearing a primitive looking armor, and carried a sword on his waist, he was one of the hornless ones, but his skin was red. The idea that such a primitive race without access to any form of technology could have fostered such powerful warriors was incredible! You were getting excited at the prospect of facing such a powerful opponent, but... with Khive here, still unconscious, it was almost certain that she wouldn't survive a battle between you and this man as well as his underlings.

Goddammit, i keep forgetting to add my reasoning, I suggest this because if they call it a Holy Site, telling them that WE were trapped in a similar location, they'll all but CERTAINLY see us as some kinda Prophet/God/Whatever the fuck, if they believe us.

>>4913399
>I came to free my partner trapped in this ice, trapped so cruelly like I was. Stay back as I do so. But if you refuse, and you would seek to part me from my own, then I challenge you to battle alone that we shall settle this by our warriors honour and spare your underlings of immediate death!

>>4913399
Fuck it, swapping from this>>4913407 to this dude's thing.>>4913423

Right, potential countermoves.

Draw him forwards, keep him close as we dodge and counter strike. We'll have to disarm him of his sword of course but this is doable.

Lead him closer to the pod, maybe rip it open and step to the side to hit him with a blast of the icy chill before using the pod part we pulled open to try and bludgion him to death.

Another option is retreat via backflipping away and keep setting Mines as we place our hands on the floor.

If we can test his physical strength and see he cannot fly, perhaps we can lift him into the sky and toss him higher, firing off Ki blasts as he does so. But lets save this, and the fact we can fly for a while later.

>>4913423
Support

>>4913440
Another potential move, Punch the floor to make a hole, Mine the hole, then detonate it to create a short lived smokescreen of dust from which we can use to reposition using low-level flight/Charge a Ki blast that the fucker has little to no way of seeing coming.

>>4913423

>>4913448

Hmm, personally not a fan of a sword for this fellow here. We need a weapon which can be used in many creative pursuits.

I also admit ignorance on DBZ shit and the saiyans culture beyond "Crush the weak, have a good scrap" so I can't even suggest a proper weapon for them. Instead, my proposition is thus.
A pair of curved sickles, like a hand held scythe, which may connect at the handles with eachother, by slotting together or by [energy?] ropes to make for a psudo-nunchuk.

These were just ideas I was concocting. Though the idea to hit him with bursts of cold can be refined by only tearing open part of the pod to let out a concentrated stream.

"I came here to free my partner who is trapped in this ice. Trapped so cruelly inside their own pod just like I was." You point a finger at the man. "Stay back as I do so, but... if you aren't willing to listen to my words, and would seek to part me from my comrades then I challenge to to a single duel with our pride as warriors on the line! You'll spare your underlings the meaningless deaths they would otherwise suffer in the ensuing battle.

"I can tell that you're strong, but... that pod. If you're saying that you emerged from something similar, then I'm afraid that I can't allow you to open this one too." The man warned you as he pulled his blade out, and you looked at him with a raised eyebrow.

"Hmm? Whatever reason could you have for denying me a reunion with my comrade?" You were kind of annoyed already, and you were already starting to think of this guy as potential stress relief.

"So, you're unaware of the prophecy?" The man sounded confused.

"I'd appreciate if you stopped talking like I am supposed to know what the hell you're talking about, I only know of one prophecy, and I don't think we're talking about the same one here." You started to charge a Ki Mine underneath your left foot, using your feet as a way to have the ball of energy stick into the ground without anybody noticing what you were up to. You didn't get many opportunities to project Ki from your feet, but there was really nothing altogether difficult about the concept. They could be used to just as much of an effect as your hands and mouth for projecting Ki from, they were just a bit... unconventional, and unexpected too.

"As you wish. But the prophecy I speak of related to events that occurred nearly a century ago now. A pod like the one you're attempting to open descended from the heavens, and out from it came the hero. He had no memories of his past life, so it was assumed he was a warrior sent from the gods in order to slay the queen and liberate the planet from her rule... he went on a great journey across Onisthena and ended up slaying thousands of the Snake Queen's men before finally approaching her palace. The two of them fought for almost a day, before... well, at some point, the Hero was woo'd by the queen, and she ended up taking him on as her consort."

"So what?" You really didn't get what he was talking about here.

"So I am wary of the three he told me of on his deathbed, my Father was the strongest man I knew, and apparently, his memories had recovered sometime before he passed away. In his last moments, he told me to be wary of the others of his race. The tailed ones, known as Saiyans." Wait a second...!

"Your father!" You call to the boy. "His name, was it... by any chance... Scalli?" The boy frowned immediately as you said those words.

"He said that you'd know him by that name, yes... but he took another before his memory returned." The red skinned man got into a fighting position now, drawing his blade and pointing it at you. "Put aside your friend, and we will do battle, may the best man win." You comply with his offer to put Khive somewhere safe, and you prop your ally up against the side of the Saiyan Pod before returning to your position before. "I am Sycam! Son of Redwo!"

"I am Rettace, son of Izebarg! You yelled your name out in response to his own introduction, and the two of you charged at once another.

>>What will Rettace do?
>Keep your distance while setting up Ki Mines to activate on command.
>Meet him head on. You should be slightly stronger than he is.

>>4913877
You I'll change from mine to KI blast, since thinking on it, that is a better idea

Everything else stays the same thou

>>4913879
If we grab him,we should probably try to drive him into the ground or free the sword from his grasp.

Wrestling serves neighter of us, unless we can use our tail to plant a mine on his back.

>>4913883
I figured the same, either use it to slam him to the ground, trap him briefly in the snow, or SO LONG GAY BOWSER his ass

>>4913886
Tossing him into the air would be a great way to see if he inherited flight.

So once we grasp him, disarm or air throw are my go too suggestions.

>>4913850
Use flight and ki mines

>>4913891
clever

>>4913896
Mhmm. I think it is a saiyan racial ability, but given how Ki is a thing, we would be remiss to not expect him to know most or all the techniques that his father did.

Am, what techniques did our dear friend know?

If at all possible I wanna keep Sycam alive, personally.

>>4913900
Hmm. Elaborate.

Why so, to what benefit, does it outweigh the costs, what motivation would the MC have?
If the saiyans are as I think, him being a good fighter may be enough.

>>4913906

>>4913899
Scalli was a long-ranged attack specialist.

You know, I had just had an unpleasant thought. What if Parzlee was the queen Scalli/ Redwo overthrew?

I should say that Mid-Classes and Super-Elites are trained to be resistant to the weakness of their tail being grabbed.
Super Elites are also trained to be able to control their Oozaru forms.

>>4913928
We were warned the queen here was notoriously powerful and would slay us all with ease, so avoid.

Thus little bastard is her child, that combined with the pod we recognise as our generation, means it can only be Parzlee within.

Unfortunately, the Power Ball technique hadn't been developed when you were sent away No, Bardock didn't create it, so you'll have to rely on full moons if you want to become an Oozaru.
Unless you figure out the technique by yourself or see it used by one of the few people around who can use it.

76, not bad.

You and Sycam charge towards each other, both going maximum speed in an attempt to overpower the other, but a few moments before you meet him, you stop dead in the air, drag your foot along the ground, and put a great deal of power in a kick, sending up a small avalanche of snow and stray rocks to shower and blind Sycam with!

He stops his charge as he sees the approaching avalanche forms, but all is going according to your plan, you form a small but powerful ki blast in your hand and send it into the sheet of descending snow, right at Sycam!

Not only does it detonate when it strikes him, but it also evaporates the sheet of snow, turning it into a dense cover of fog! While this would normally be a difficulty for you, your scouter was still locked on to Sycam! Meaning that you still had a read on his location, and he had no idea where you were! You could see his rough outline on your scouter as you snuck around the fog, but...

"You think that this fog will stop me from finding you?!" Sycam suddenly powered up, and as his aura flared around him, the cloud of steam was blown away, leaving him with a clear view of... absolutely nothing. You'd already managed to sneak around the warrior, and while he looked for you in front of you, he wasn't looking behind him!

You grabbed hold of both of Sycams legs, forcing him off of his feet as you lifted him up from the ground, prepared to toss what you can only assume is a Half-Saiyan into the sky, however, it seems like Sycam was just a little bit too strong for that plan to work, and before you could throw him into the sky, he suddenly flew straight upwards like an arrow! Forcing you up with him for a time before you are forced to let go of the boy! You don't quite know why you're calling him a boy, his appearance would indicate that he's at least as old as you are, but... if he truly is Scalli's son, you doubt you'll ever be able to see him as anything other than a boy. You feel a pang of loss knowing that Scalli had died, and you knew now that there was no hiding from the truth. You had been frozen in your pod for the best part of a century. Your father was dead. Your mother was dead. The rest of the Saiyans you fought with other than Parzlee and Khive were dead. Even the King was dead. It was a sobering thought, that your return to Planet Vegeta would only be met with confusion and questioning, rather than the glory that the completion of your mission should've brought you. Of course, now so many years had passed, you realized that your mission was effectively pointless now anyway. What you needed more than anything else right now was a way off of this planet... or at least you would after kicking this boy's ass.

You raised yourself to the boy's level in the sky in order to look him in the eye, of course he'd learned how to fly. "You're not bad, Sycam. I can tell that your Saiyan heritage is serving you well. But... where is your tail?" You questioned the boy as to the lack of a tail, and he shook his head.

"That thing? It's nothing but a detriment. I cut it off every time it grows anew, the amount of times I've nearly lost a fight because the damn thing got grabbed by an enemy isn't something I enjoy thinking about." Ah, of course. He never received the special training you had, not to mention that this planet is without a moon. Of course he'd not see the point of keeping it!

"A shame, did your father not train you to resist the shock? Or did he not teach you the true purpose of a Saiyan's tail?" That damn bastard. You might've been Scalli's best friend once, but you simply have no idea what sort of a man he ended up becoming while you slept in the ice.

"He was the one who suggested I cut my tail off, actually." Damn it Scalli!

"A shame." You got into a fighting position in the air, taunting Sycam into attacking you, but he was hesitant. He'd clearly learned from your last exchange how powerful you were, and though he was close to your level of strength, it's unlikely he's used to fighting opponents that were as tricky as you were, especially not when they were actually above his level.

"Scalli has failed you as both a parent and as a mentor. Though I'll give my old friend the benefit of the doubt and excuse him for his lost memories. Now! Let's see how that your father taught you how to dodge!" You throw a Ki Mine at Sycam, and he dodges it with ease. Then you throw another at the red skinned boy, which he dodges as well!

"You... how... dare you?!" Sycam sounded like he was getting mad about your insulting of his father, but that was good. When an opponent lost their temper, it was all the easier to control them and lure them into traps. Forcing them to make mistakes by causing them to lose their cool, making them forget whatever training that they had been given through anger alone. It was a devious technique, and something that served you well when you sparred with fellow Saiyans. While it was a known fact that Saiyans could raise their strength somewhat through bursts of anger, the strength boost wasn't significant enough that it allowed them to make up for the loss in fighting technique! "HYAAAAAAAAAARGH!" A reddish black aura suddenly formed around Sycam as he continued to power up.

There was clearly something different going on with Sycam here, and your Scouter suddenly started going wild! You lost your readout of his power! You continued to throw Ki Mines at Sycam as you back away from him, but he just easily dodged each of the strikes as she sped towards you! "What speed!" You completely taken off guard by the sudden burst of power! You had barely even had the chance to throw twelve of your Ki Mines before he was upon you, and he was relentless in his assault!

He landed a punch square in the middle of your gut, causing you to cough up blood as pain wracked your body, and your armor was about one of the only things that protected you. The durable armor had managed to save your life, but the armor itself was in a bad way. The punch had managed to break a hole in your armor, leaving your undersuit exposed! If he'd struck with his blade instead, you would've been impaled, without a doubt!

Sycam stayed like that for a while, as his flicker of power suddenly disappeared, bringing his level of strength back to a level below your own. "You're better than you have any right to be, boy, but...!" You recover from the painful strike quicker than he recovers from his burst of rage, and you kick him in the side, causing him to go hurtling through the air.

Of course, that wasn't where your attack ended, and before he'd managed to slow himself down, he collided with the target you had in mind! One of the floating Ki Mines! He started to recover, but he simply wasn't fast enough to avoid what you had in store. "Convergence Mine!" Shouting out the name of your attack, you had every one of the mines you had managed to fire speed towards the location of the mine that had adhered to Sycam!

"What the...?!" The boy didn't even get the chance to be surprised before he was covered in the glowing green orbs, and you raised your fist.

"This is over!" You clenched your fist, and an explosion of light engulfed Sycam, sending your opponent hurtling down to the ground, smoke rising from his body and pieces of his now destroyed armor falling off of him as he fell.

You coughed up some blood as you touched your own injury. The gash on your arm from the monster earlier was mostly superficial, but this punch did some real damage to you. By the time you returned to the ground, you noticed that Sycam's underlings had surrounded his body. You could hear groaning from within the circle of men. Looks like Sycam had managed to survive the blasts. Good. You hadn't put in as much power as you could have, just to avoid potentially killing your best friend's son. Even if he was a traitor, you could forgive him, if he'd lived decades on this planet without his memories as a Saiyan, could he really be blamed for preferring his new world if he got them back decades later?

You returned to the pod, and to Khive. The Pod could only belong to Parzlee with what you know now, and you're happy that you'll shortly be getting your second in command back. But you look at the underlings surrounding Sycam, wondering what you should do about them...

>>What will Rettace do?
>Chase off the remaining Onisthenians.
>Take Sycam as a captive, they can't stop you, even if you're injured.

is good homie

You decide to ignore the Onisthenians. Outside of Sycam, none of them are a threat to you. They might be able to threaten Khive, but they probably knew that if they did that, you'd slaughter them all without mercy. You clench one of your hands and allow the existing undetonated Ki Mine to dissipate harmlessly. No sense keeping it around anymore. You return to the Saiyan Pod, this time careful upon opening it, keeping your head and hands out of the way of the jettisoned freezing gas as it bursts out of the pod.

Inside the pod, you see just the person you were expecting, Parzlee. Her sleeping form resting upon her long hair which framed her beautiful face. You smile upon seeing your second-in-command once again, and reach into the Pod to lift her out, much like you did for Khive. However, much unlike Khive, Parzlee's eyes bolted open the moment you touched her, and she grabbed your hand before using her other hand to blast you out of the pod. The unexpected attack from your underling causing you more surprise than it actually hurts at all.

"Well, good morning to you as well, Parzlee." You quickly recover in the air and float in front of the now open Saiyan Pod. Certainly not the worst she's ever been upon waking up, but... it's a good defense mechanism to have. Especially for a female Saiyan.

"My head feels like crap. What sort of landing do you even call that?" She sounded like she was in pain, and was quite frustrated as she pulled herself out of the pod.

>>What will Rettace say?

Crash talk can be later.
How does our power level stack up to the other Saiyans around right now?
Whereabout in the story are we?

>>4914767
If the interstellar Date is the same as age.
We're in Early Dragonball years.
Vegeta is probably similar to us strengthwise.
And in age too.

>>4914761
>"One that activated a cryogenic system on our Pods and caused us to sleep for nearly a hundred years."

>>4914761
>We can speak later. I need you at your best. Hurt anywhere?
>The mission's paramaters are shifting as we speak. I have recovered your sister, the locals are largely around the 1000-1500 powerlevel range but a number of beasts and individuals are reaching the 5000 or higher.

>>4914812
Shifting as we speak?
Bruh.
The mission is over.

>>4914842
She doesn't know that. And I'd rather she not have a mental breakdown so soon after waking up.

If Sycam gets back up to rumble a bit more, I want her reflexes and actions to get to safety or fight unclouded.

That is a point however. We were sent here to raid, but raid what?
If we plan to return to planet freeza then we cannot return empty handed.

>>4914846
I would assume treasure, maybe?
Valuable resources?
Iunno, maybe QM will tell us.
Also why would we want to work for Freeza?

>>4914848
We don't. He's dead according to our estimations of his lifespan.
But it is natural to want to return to our home, to our people. There is no glory to be had now, our mission is long forgotten and probably written off as a successful assassination but if we wish to return home then we must act as though the mission is still as it was.
A bloodied nose is no reason to quit and go home without what we came here for.

If we don't wish to return home, then I don't know what else to do. Rettace seems to be a man of resolve and battle honour, so it is my assumption he would wish to complete his task and go home.

>>4914761
>>"We can talk about the crash later, right now, I need you at your best. Are you hurt anywhere?"

>>4914850
We're a Saiyan from before King Cold enslaved our race.
We don't even know Freeza exists.

>>4914853
Oh yeah, it's king Vegeta. Sorry about that, I've mentioned before but not very good with dragonball.

Still, the king we know is dead.

Do you think our boy Rettace is smart enough to realize the Saiyans were genicided on purpose by himself?

>>4914857
Maybe. It's not unlikely for us all to have been utterly murdered due to our warrior creed.

>"We can talk about the crash later, right now, I need you at your best. Are you hurt anywhere?"

>>4914857
Yes! Retace is a smart and tricky saiyan, hell figure it out and we'll kill Freeza tgether with the last of our people!

"We can talk about the crash later Parzlee, right now though, I need you at your best. Are you hurt anywhere? No injuries from your landing?" You want to make sure that your strongest ally is in good condition, this planet is full of beings far more powerful than you had first believed it to be. The scouting report mentioned that only the Queen herself would be able to pose a threat to a Super-Elite, but that report is now decades out of date. You find yourself wondering about the years that had passed once again, of the current state of Planet Vegeta. Or Plant, depending on who you asked. The Tuffles hadn't exactly accepted the Planet being given another name, but they weren't exactly the sort to do much about it, and they still traded with the Saiyans if the Saiyans offered them rare resources found off-world. Their technology was invaluable for the Saiyan's continued existence. Gathering of rare resources was the point of your raid here on Onisthena, the Queen's Palace was apparently built atop a rare green metal that the Tuffles dubbed Orochalcum, it was both nearly unbreakable and could absorb and amplify a tremendous amount of energy and be used to redirect it! If you could get your hands on that metal, it would revolutionize weapon, ship and armor creation!

"Injuries? Who do you think you're talking to, Rettace? I don't have a scratch on me!" She hovered out of her pod, dusting the thin layer of frost off of her body. "A little cold though." She looked around to see the windy mountaintops, and her eyes narrowed when she saw Sycam being carried away by his underlings, she raised a hand to blow them away, but you shook your head. Parzlee hadn't been given a Scouter, they were expensive pieces of tech, after all.

"Don't. The boy being carried away is somebody I've taken an interest in, I'd prefer not killing him if we have the chance." There's a part of you that wants to recruit Sycam and have him assist you in your future battles. To have such a high battle power already, not to mention when his power surged and he overwhelmed you, he was clearly something special.

"As you wish, boss." Parzlee lowered her hands before she set down on the ground, looking at Khive with concern in her eyes. "How is she? Did she get hurt in the crash?" Despite how some Saiyans treated their siblings, Parzlee cared a lot about her weaker twin sister. Oftentimes going out of her way in order to ensure that she was alright and that she wasn't struggling. It was really all because of Parzlee that Khive was even given the opportunity to become a Saiyan Warrior in the first place. You wonder if you'd still be more powerful than Parzlee if she hadn't needed to spend so much of her time to ensure that her sister was getting strong enough...

"Not hurt, not that I can see. I think it's just..." You look at Khive, and suddenly, the girl blinks her eyes open, immediately raising her hand to her head and groaning.

"Ugh..." The girl groans as her eyes focus, and she suddenly realizes that both you and Parzlee were staring at her, and she got a little embarrassed at the attention. Unlike her Sister, who was wearing a green armored battledress, Khive had taken after your example in dressing herself. Wearing similar colored armors to yours and even copying your method of hiding her tail with red cords of fabric tied around her waist. "You guys... did you drag me out of my pod...? Ah darn it, did I get knocked out from the crash?" She sounded disappointed in herself, but you shook your head.

"The crash knocked us all unconscious for some time, I believe." You were still wondering whether or not it was worth telling your allies about the fact that decades of time had passed since you were frozen. Neither of the two had scouters, so it's not like they'd know unless you decided to tell them, but they'd find out eventually anyway.

"Well... where's Scalli then?" Parzlee joins in on the conversation, wondering about the location of the fourth member of your squad. Sycam's followers had nearly disappeared off into the distance by now too, so you at least wouldn't have to worry about a rematch with the boy just yet. You should get a little stronger when you finish recovering from your injuries too!

Those aren't warm enough. We should huddle together with the girls for warmth.

Update soon.

"He woke up before us, raised a family, and died... his son is... something respectable, on the level of a Super-Elite, and not even properly trained." Sycam is indeed incredibly powerful, and you had already started to wonder if it would be a possibility to get the boy to embrace his heritage as a Saiyan and join you on your journey across the galaxy. You didn't exactly know what you were going to do when you returned to Planet Vegeta. If the King's descendant was still on the throne, you imagine you would challenge him after revealing the crime of his parent or grandparent. While you didn't exactly desire the throne yourself, you didn't really want to allow his crime against you and your comrades to go unpunished, even if he's already dead. You'd need to get more powerful before challenging the king though. You'd need to at least double your power level before you'd feel comfortable facing even his descendant. If their strength is anywhere similar to the King Vegeta you remembered, then you wouldn't be able to defeat them as you are right now. Even with Parzlee's assistance.

"His... son?" Parzlee sounds incredulous at your words, of course she would. It's not exactly going to be easy to inform your allies that you've been frozen for nearly eighty years, but... you can't keep them under the impression that the home you'll be returning to after finishing up on Onisthena will be the same as the one they remembered.

"That's right, Parzlee. We were all... trapped in our pods for nearly 80 years. Scalli woke up earlier than us, but he'd managed to lose his memories, so he never looked for us. Eventually, his memories returned to him, but by that time, he'd already grown accustomed to life on this world, and he never went out of his way to wake us up himself." It felt like a betrayal, but you couldn't bring yourself to feel that angry about Scalli's actions. By the time his memories were recovered, he probably considered you and the rest of your squad dead already. Perhaps that was why he told his son all about you. Perhaps it was guilt towards the friends he thought were dead but never confirmed himself? Of course, he did seem to fear the idea of you acting like... well, like Saiyans did towards the planet. But right now, you didn't even know if it was worth it. It's not like you can still complete your mission. You didn't even have a way off of the planet right now. All of the Attack Pods have just been totally busted, and this planet was supposed to be fairly low ranked in the technological development department, and a good thing too. With the levels of strength you've encountered so far on the planet, the Onisthenians could easily go on to become a galactic power!

"I... Damn." Parzlee doesn't look like she knows how to take the news, however, Khive seemed a little more upbeat.

"Well, we can't just give up because we lost a few years, can we? All three of us are still alive, and we're not hur-" Khive suddenly takes a look at you, the gash on your arm dripping blood and the bruise on your chest a nasty purple. "Rettace! You're injured!" Khive sounded worried for you, but you waved away her concerns.

"Ah, this? Don't worry, I've had worse in training, it'll heal. Shame about my armor though." You resented having your armor damaged, especially when there wasn't a way to easily have it fixed or replaced. You'd just have to deal with your damaged armor for now, you supposed. "If you're all alright with continuing to follow me as your squad leader with that news in mind, then we need to go and find shelter for the night. I've heard that Onisthena's nights are far too cold to stay without shelter, I've also got a huge beast that I'd like some help with carrying to wherever we decide to set camp." You've got enough knowledge that skinning and cooking the beast shouldn't be that difficult if you actually had a fire.

"Alright, you're the boss." Parzlee still seemed uncertain about things, but Khive seemed chipper and upbeat, not voicing any objection to your suggestion.

You then had to decide whereabouts you wanted to set camp up... while you and Khive hid that you were Saiyans under normal circumstances, Parzlee normally didn't. At least not to the same degree, she just kept her tail normally obscured by her long hair, so you wouldn't be able to see it unless you were specifically looking for it. Then again, it's unlikely that these people will know what the tail even means about you...

Yeah that's smart. Changing to support both

Also had an idea for a Ki blast. Since we can project Ki with our feat, we could use this to pull of some incredible maneuvers or attacks. The first that came to my mind is basically using it to suddenly redirect or charge into an enemy, which would make for an incredible opening move for any number of manuvers. Like say, planting a giant ki mind directly on their chest

and I'll start to write in a few minutes.

>>4915627
My idea was to throw a blast then a mine soon after, using the pressure release of the blast to 'skip' the mine along a new path.

>>4915768
Oooh good idea, use the blast to disguise the mine. You have the makings of a BRILLIANT SCIENTIST

>>4915771
I was the one to suggest a deception based style.

Anyway, speaking of that, we will want to try and figure out how to devise new Ki techniques. Possibly extend off of our Mine creation, like a ki net or something of that nature.

If our entire style focuses around a single technique, we will be easy to counter by any semi-intelligent foe with the knowledge of our favoured tool.

>>4915792
Couldn't agree more. All the "weird power" characters in the show got fucking reamed cause all they had was a gimic. Unconventional tactics/ trickery requires a varied deck to play with.

Rettace would be the motherfucker who runs an all color pie deck in magic, is what I'm saying.

Perhaps we could make a kind of Ki whip? lots of things you can do with a whip, especially in anime

>>4915797
Whips could do something, electrifying/energised lines/ just cause grapple lines, Ki mines that explode our into net-configuration to entangle perhaps.

If we can figure how to make our ki "sticky" then spike traps and other such things are in view. But this is all speculation for later.
Bouncing knives are also a good one.

"Alright, we'll set up camp in the ice caves near these parts for tonight." You make your decision fairly quickly, among your peers, it wasn't just your strength that you were feared for, but your sharp mind. Among Saiyans, superior intelligence was generally looked down upon by the strong, but in most cases, that was because the more intelligent Saiyans were... well, less physically gifted. Unable to use their superior intelligence to assist them in a battle. You however were quite unlike those Saiyans. Using your intelligence in combination with your strength in order to create a greater warrior. It wouldn't be easy, but you felt like you could take down a foe who was more powerful than you if you were given the opportunity to make a plan of attack. You also had a great deal of skill coordinating team attacks. Though unfortunately, with Scalli out of the team, you're missing your long ranged specialist. "Khive, can you go and fell a few trees and drag the logs back to the cave up there?" You point to an opening up high.

"Of course, Rettace!" She quickly accepts the order and goes to fly off, but you put a hand on her shoulder before you can.

"Stay away from any large wildlife that you see. You don't have a scouter, so you can't tell yourself, but the creatures on this planet are stunningly strong. It's really a wonder how there are people alive on this planet at all, without any sort of technology to keep such powerful beasts in check." You knew for a fact that a beast like the one that you slew before facing off against Sycam would've been more than enough to bring the average planetary backwater to its knees, possibly ending with the race in question surrendering a continent to it and hoping it never strayed outside of that area.

"I'll stay away from anything that looks like it could be trouble!" Khive quickly follows your order, before she turns around and flies off, this time you don't stop her, and you watch as she disappears towards the forest. You're a little worried about her, as silly as that might sound for a Saiyan. You've already lost one of your squad members, unusual though his death was, he was still gone. You really didn't want to lose a second teammate. The sentiment was clearly shared by Parzlee too, as she looked a little bit worried for her sister as the two of your went and retrieved the body of the hulking beast from the hole you left it in before dragging it into the caves.

"So, what do we do now, boss?" Parzlee leaned against the body of the beast while you waited for Khive to return, and you sighed.

"I don't know yet, Parzlee. We're going to have to find some way off of this planet at some point, and with our Pods all busted like they are, we're going to either have to hope one of us bothered to learn how to fix the things in training, or that somebody on this backwards planet knows how to repair Tuffle-tech spacecraft." Being stranded on this planet wasn't exactly your idea of a great time. Even if you knew that the beasts here would make for excellent opponents for training for the three of you.

You heard a crashing noise outside, and are greeted with the sight of Khive standing atop two large tree trunks that she had felled from the forest. Enough wood that you could build a fire that wouldn't just last the night, but would last for several days. "I didn't run into anything, though I almost managed to run into a bunch of the natives, I managed to slip away without them seeing me." She sounded pleased with herself, and you gave her a thumbs up.

"Good job, Khive, we'll get you reclassified as a Super-Elite in no time at all with that attitude!" You smile at the Low-Class girl, and she smiles back at you. The Class system was newly introduced among the Saiyans, and while it wasn't set at birth, there had been talk of doing such a thing, measuring the strength level of children at birth and sorting them into classes based on that and that alone. It faced strong opposition from some of the more experienced warriors though, but a lot of the younger upstarts supported the notion. "Now, help me and Parzlee drag this wood inside the cave, I'm going to collapse some of the entrance in order to prevent the wind from being as bad."

You spend the next few minutes maneuvering the logs into the cave, smashing the trunks into smaller chunks when you had to, but soon, you had all of the wood inside the cave, and you threw a Ki Mine up at the ceiling of the entrance after calculating the destructive force you'd need to collapse the majority of the opening. With a clench of your fist, the mine exploded, bringing down a sheet of icy rubble atop most of the entrance, leaving a smaller hole about twice your size that could be used to enter and exit.

With that out of the way, you returned to the part of the cave just outside Khive's pod. Parzlee had already started a fire with the logs, and Khive was busy working on dismantling the large creature that you slew. Skinning it with a thin blade of Ki that she was projecting from her hand... interesting technique.

>>What will Rettace do?

>>4915821
>Khive with a ki knife
Might be able to make something out of that skill, maybe her low power level is because she hasn't played into her strengths. Like Rettace said earlier, power level isn't the end all be all measure of somethings ability/ threat

>>4915862
Ok sounds good to me

>>4915821
>Help Khive with the skinning and cooking of the beast.
Like the other said, that could be useful skill. She could be our rogue or ninja, weaker physically but using subtlety and unique techniques to her advantage. We ARE a cunning warrior ourselves...

>Sit around the fire and talk to Parzlee.
Check in on her, at least. No reason we can't do both. The sisters get along, and we're in close quarters. Chat with her a bit while we work with Khive, and if she seems really weird, take her aside for a private talk.

"Khive, stay here and keep preparing the animal." You suddenly start to walk towards the entrance to the cave. "Keep an eye on the fire too. Parzlee, I want you to come with me... you've made sure the cave is clear of any more of those beasts right?" Before leaving Khive to her own devices, you just wanted to make sure that there weren't going to be any nasty surprises in stock for Khive. You feel like you might be coddling her a little, but it's fine. Tomorrow, you'll have everyone train as a group, and focus on raising Khive's battle power. You might even see about helping her with that Ki Knife technique she seems to have developed. The ability to form your ki into a cutting edge like that is a rare and hard to develop skill, after all.

"Of course, there was a path I found that lead deeper into the cave, but I just threw an energy ball down it and collapsed the tunnel. If there's anything living down there, it's going to have to find another way up to us." Parzlee said with a hint of pride in her voice, and you smiled at her good thinking. While those beasts are powerful enough to burrow through the earth, you highly doubt they'd be fast enough at doing so that Khive wouldn't be able to get out before they had a chance to ambush her.

"Good thinking. Now come on, we're going to go and grab your pod. I've had an idea, and it would be better if all of the Pods were kept together anyway. We might even be able to get one of them into some semblance of a working order. All we need is one working ship and then one of us can go off world and get something large enough to allow the rest of us to be taken!" You really weren't sure about your abilities when it came to creating a space-worthy vehicle, but you suppose you could always test it out underwater. That's about the same sort of environment as outer space anyway. At least when it comes to it being difficult to survive.

"Of course, boss." Parzlee followed you out of the small-ish hole you made to enter and exit the cave, and started flying behind you as you returned to where her Pod was left, though you slow down a little in order to fly next to her in the air before matching her pace once again.

"You're holding up alright, aren't you? I've noticed that you've been acting a little... out of it. Ever since I told you about the truth of when we actually are and what happened with our Pods, you haven't exactly been acting... well, like your normal self." She's normally quite reclusive despite her power, but she never allowed herself to appear so visibly worried before the crash.

"I'm fine, really. I'm just a little shaken by the whole thing with the crash. I still have Khive, at least. Meanwhile... you don't have anyone. Even Scalli is gone." You frown at the reminder of the death of your best friend, but you can't exactly feel bad about it. Unlike almost every Saiyan to ever exist, Scalli sounded like he got to live to old age and die peacefully. It's a fate that the more bloodthirsty Saiyans would resent having occur to them, but they didn't seem to realize that there was no honor in dying in battle for the sake of dying in battle.

"I know that, but... well, we're Saiyans, and we're a squad. The three of us still have each other, and that's enough for me. Even if Scalli is gone, it sounds like he died with a smile on his face, which is more than most Saiyans get." You suppress your true feelings about the death of your best friend. You could see a lot of Scalli reflected in his son Sycam anyway. Strangely, it felt like the man you once trained with was still alive, in a strange way. Even though Sycam looks very different to his father on account of his Onisthenian features, he still has a spark in him that reminds you of his father. "I want you to understand that as your team leader... no, as your friend. I won't rest until the three of us are back on our home planet. We'll become strong enough that our return to the Saiyans is regarded as the arrival of three saviors, Khive included!" You really wanted to make sure Khive was powerful enough by the time you returned to the Saiyan Homeworld that you could just have her call herself a Super-Elite without being questioned.

"That sounds... nice." Parzlee smiled for the first time in a while, and you soon made your way to her pod. You didn't even ask her if she wanted to carry it or not, and just picked it up yourself, resting the pod on your back as you flew back. "I've worried about Khive ever since we were kids, and I... just don't understand it."

"Understand what?" You wondered where Parzlee was heading with this.

"Well, we weren't identical at birth, but... we were born with identical power levels." Parzlee started to explain things to you. "We were both born with high power levels, for children, but... when it actually came time for the two of us to train... whenever we trained, my strength would increase, but... Khive's would almost always just stay the same." The sister sounded concerned for her twin, and you started to ponder the situation.

"Stay the same...? What do you mean?" It sounds ridiculous, but... you sort of know where Parzlee is coming from. When you helped her train, you put Khive through a hellish course, but... when it came to actually measuring her power level increases, they were almost negligible. Whereas any normal Saiyan would've jumped up hundreds of points in their Power Level, Khive... never really experienced that.

"Well, it was like she wasn't growing any stronger despite doing the exact same things as me, at first I attributed it to different growth, but... none of the other Saiyans I've ever met have had a rate of growth as slow as Khive's. She's had to work three times as hard just to get the recognition she wanted to be a Saiyan Warrior at all." It is strange, how slow it seems that Khive advances in strength, but what's stranger still is the fact that she managed to create that Ki Blade for no reason other than to skin that creature. You wondered if there was some secret that was keeping Khive weaker, or if there was perhaps some mental block on her power...? You'd get to the bottom of it eventually, you knew that much.

"I see..." You kept silent on the rest of the way back to the cave. Not knowing what to say in response to Parzlee's revelations. You supposed that there was a potential of Khive subconsciously blocking her own power, but... why the hell would she?

When the two of you returned to the fire, you noticed that Khive was already almost done skinning the animal, and you gave her a cheerful greeting as you set the Saiyan pod down by the fire before you headed deeper into the ice cave in order to retrieve you own pod, spending a few minutes extracting it from the ice and returning with it to set it down around the fire.

In the end, there were three Saiyan Pods positioned around the fire, all with their doors opened. Parzlee decided to make herself useful while you did this, and used some of the freshly skinned pelt from the large beast in order to create three thick curtain-like coverings, tearing the pelt apart and using her own Ki in order to heat the skin to such a degree that whatever bacteria might've been living inside it that could've caused it to rot were killed. Eventually, the three Saiyan Pods were given thick fur curtains that made them far more cold-proof. Their broken doors weren't exactly great protection, after all. Parzlee also repeated the process in order to make fur blankets while you helped Khive butcher and cook parts of the now skinned beast. The three of you joked and laughed as you all tried to help each other take their minds off of the terrifying reality that everyone that you knew was dead.

The meat from the beast wasn't exactly fantastic, it was stringy and tough, but it was still the first thing you've eaten in about eighty years, and it was meat, so that was all that really mattered to you and your squad. You still had a little bit of time before you were totally fatigued, and you wondered if you should do anything with the remaining minutes you had before heading to your pod to sleep.

>>Talk with Khive about her energy knife technique.
>>Practice a technique (What?)
Practice energy knife with Khive. I want to find her a focus and she seems to be good with Ki Manipulation.

>>4916141
>>4916147
Supporting this, with the addition of:
>Man, your control over your energy is really good, want me to teach you my techniques sometime, expand your arsenal? With that control you have, you'd probably get even better with it than I am.

>>4916147
This.

>>4916155
Not this, though. Don't spoil her too much--we're still Sayains.

>>4916141
>or if there was perhaps some mental block on her power...? You'd get to the bottom of it eventually, you knew that much.
>You supposed that there was a potential of Khive subconsciously blocking her own power, but... why the hell would she?
I have my doubts that Khive will pull a Broly. I think she's one of the smarter types of sayians, but if she hasn't shown to be books smarts then perhaps she's simply more intuitive than most. Intuition is different than intelligence.

>Talk with Khive about her energy knife technique.
When did she develop this?

>>4916147
I'll support.

I disagree with >>4916155 since as another anon mentions, it's unseemly to reward weakness among saiyans. And our own techniques no less? No.

If we can figure out why the hell she remains so damn weak, then maybe we can start working towards it, instead of giving her our signature weapon for any old fool to recognize and counter.

>>4916141
Can we also decorate the outside with well placed and hidden land mines in case some critter wants to try and sneak inside?

>>4916360
good call

>>4916147
Support then we can rest, also this one too

Before heading to bed, you turn to Khive and accidentally yawn. "That energy knife technique of yours... I think it's pretty impressive. When did you learn it, did Parzlee teach you?" While you haven't exactly practiced it yourself, it's meant to be very hard to form an energy blade like that. Something that only a prodigy would be able to do, and even then, it would probably take them a lot of practice to manage to create one.

"Oh... that? That's just something I came up with by myself. It's... too small to really be that much help in a fight, but when I need to use it for utility, it always comes in useful!" Khive didn't seem all that proud of her knife, but you decided it would be best if she understood just how difficult it was to use such a technique.

"Khive, don't you get it? I don't think I've ever met a Saiyan who could form their Ki into a blade like you do so easily! It's a natural gift!" You tell your subordinate just how impressive what she's so effortlessly pulling off what an incredible technique she's managed to develop. "If you were to develop it a little more, then you'd be able to easily take down enemies that are far above your power level!" Most beings weren't at all resistant to cutting attacks, and a higher power level wouldn't save them from something like Khive's Ki Blade. After all, despite her far weaker power level, she was able to easily skin that huge beast!

"You... really think so?" She smiled a little at your declaration that her knife was impressive, and you gave her a thumbs up.

"Of course! In fact, before we go to bed tonight, I want to spend a little time helping you practice it!" After helping her practice, you'll set up a few Ki Mines outside the cave as a layer of deterrence before heading to bed.

I might make a Pastebin at some point so I have a place to keep a Scouter Index as well as your technique list.

We should develop a finger gun technique, just to style on motherfuckers.

Niceu niceu.

What are the odds that Khive is our generation's legendary Super Saiyan?

>>4916429
>>4916432
Doubtful. Bro you need to roll this is best of four.

>>4916436
I already rolled, my IP is retarded.

>>4916438
Le shit bricks, that sticks. I hope we learned something from her hand knife technique. I wanna use it to cut some steaks, or mince up some meat as fine as we can to make burger patties. If we're gonna be stuck on the planet for who knows how long, we might as well make it a pleasant stay.

Rolled 63 (1d100)

>>4916419

>>4916436
Why do you think it's doubtful?
There's definitely something keeping her true power hidden, and she's got incredible ki manipulation abilities.
>>4916446
I'm hoping we can use something like the Salza Blade.

>>4916459
Hmm. Well powerlevel is meant to be a measure of competence, inherent power and skill.

So for that to never go up beyond trifles. . . Perhaps if our training with her was to focus on technique over raw power, her body could be changed through certain techniques like the ozzaru form to subvert and counteract the level system which doesn't take into account such things.

I'd also suggest getting her to practice forming those blades quickly and effeciently, so when they are needed they can be summoned to hand without delay.

Which twin are we breeding, Khive or Parzlee?
