The Adventures of Raindance Maggie (Vanto)

[Akeuyota]

The young Saiyan had departed from South City so he could go find some new toys, and possibly some new friends - outside of Frieza's grasp. Nothing could have been better, because the sun was out and was shining proudly and the wind was blowing crazily, giving Ake chill bumps. He moved in a motion that was a cross between a walk and skip, as he went down the road right outside of West City. He had never even ventured here, but he really wished to today - and he was going to search for toys, to see if he could possibly get any - but the friends were more interesting to him, in the sense that he could possibly make some here.

He entered the limits of the city, and he glanced around seeing tall buildings all around him. The sound of people rustling around and the sound of cars flying around was interesting, and calming - unlike the prison atmosphere that South City emitted. He let his tail come out of his jeans, so he wouldn't have to hold it back anymore - because it was losing oxygen down there. It quickly wrapped around his waist, squirming a bit and brushed against his chest, sending chills through him even more. His face lit up as he noticed something - an open window with lights shining out of it that was more appealing than anything he had ever seen. The board above the window read Toys, which automatically drew him toward it, he made it to the window and 'glued' his face to it. He peered through the crystal clear window, looking at all the toys - he hoped he had enough money with him to buy some, or he would be really disappointed.

"Wow.... Look at all those toys! I wish I had some...."

[Vanto Lux]

A walk to clear his head, that's exactly what Vanto needed. So many things had happened within the last week and change. The teen had met the most beautiful girl ever, Bulla, and she was someone who has been on his mind for a while. Another person, or a couple people rather, that were on his mind were the aliens: Citole and Frosvite. Each of them possessed a skill that could be useful to a plan he had been plotting for the past couple of days, ever since his fail at South City. The boy realized that he could stop Frieza alone, Vanto needed a set of fighters he could run with. No way he could convince adults to fight alongside with a kid. Plus, Vanto basically had the members: Frosvite, Bulla, Citole and Himself.

However, there were only two fighters out of that entire group and Frosvite was the strongest. So much things needed to be done, but Vanto knew what he was going to do. The teen needed to bring those three together or at least get them acquainted with each other.

But that could wait, hunger was taking the boy and home was way too far away. Some restaurant had to be close. Vanto walked through the streets, his eyes searching the area before falling still upon a hotdog vendor. The teen hurried over and ordered a weenie and just as he did, for some odd reason, began to look around. His black eyes locked onto a young kid staring into the window, focusing on his hair then his entire body: mainly, that furry belt around his waist. That kid looked just like..

"Goku?" he muttered, looking dumbfounded.

[Akeuyota]

The young Saiyan began to dance around outside the toy story, as he saw toys - which made him excited. Giggling and dancing lead to running in circles cheering for toys, which was attracting a lot of attention to him. He was doing flips out of sheer excitement, awaiting a chance to get a toy - which he really wanted to do. He had his eyes set on a toy in the window which was a very interesting looking jet plane, which was black with yellow pin stripes on its wings. It was possibly the coolest thing he had ever seen, and he had declared it a necessity and that he needed it or he would die.

Before he even went into the store, his stomach began to growl uncontrollably. It was rather loud too, as the pedestrians began to stare at him - wondering if such a large noise could come from such a small body. It was the truth though, it did come from that tiny vessel, but he was a Saiyan - so it was not out of the ordinary; but for the human race, it may have possibly been a bit odd. He darted over to a hot dog stand, noticing a kid with black hair as well - he assumed he could be his new friend. Ake payed for a hot dog and began to devour it, food flying out of his mouth as he began to speak to the kid or teenager, he couldn't really tell what he was.

"Hi! I am Akeuyota, what's your name? Do you like toys... I like toys, I really want that plane in the window over there! I am bored, how about you? I guess I am okay, wait... you didn't ask yet. Sorry, I am super excited about that jet toy! I got hungry though, so I bought a hotdog.... it is good, sorry if I am getting it on you. Wait sorry, hold on! Who are you? I am sorry for being rude... I just like to make friends." He said this as he began to bow, as he showed off how energetic he was to the stranger. He took some deep breaths after speaking, to ensure the stranger an opportunity to speak.

[Vanto Lux]

The black haired teen watched as the Goku look-alike ran excitedly over to the hotdog vendor. There was no way that could be his idol unless he hadn't grown in twenty years. Just as the boy ordered a hot, Vanto took a cautious step back, examining the spiky haired boy carefully. Goku was more chubby, at least, that's what Vanto remembered from the Budokai recordings his father kept at home. Then he blinked in shock, completely overwhelmed by the speed the boy ate the hotdog. "Uh.." Vanto said, lost for words. As the kid ate the hotdog, several chunks of meat will fly about, one slapping Vanto on the cheek. "Erm..." he muttered, wiping the saliva and wet meat from his face. "That was gross."

Then the boy began to speak so fast, Vanto was barely able to understand him. What he did understand was the flying spit and hot-dog remains. Vanto raised a bandaged hand to block his face, cringing in slight disgust. Did this kid have any home training? What Vanto got from whatever the boy was something about a jet, most likely the toy he was staring at through the store window. Another thing was something about being friends. "Uh, I'm Vanto." he said hesitantly. This kid was so weird and had too much energy. Plus, with what's been going on, Vanto honestly didn't want to deal with it right now. But, he couldn't just walk away. "Hey..Akeyouta...are you okay?"

[Akeuyota]

Akeuyota laughed at the other boy, as he he talked. He seemed a bit.. distant from the young Saiyan, probably because the way he ran over to him. He was still just a kid, and he really didn't know any better - even though a normal human boy would. His tail reached over his shoulder and latched onto it, as he stood there eating his hotdog - attempting to keep his mouth closed. He didn't want to weird out Vanto any longer, so he decided to act somewhat normal; as normal as he possibly could, which was going to be very difficult.

As Ake swallowed the remains of his hotdog, he brushed the crumbs off his mouth and then with a gulp-like breath, he began to speak. "Sorry.... I am not from around here, and my dad is from.... space. I am too sort of, a half-Sayain! I can talk about it now, seeing as I am not in the grasp of Freiza..... well you don't wanna hear about that. I came here for toys though, and toys I shall get! And what are you talking about, of course I am okay! Never better, just really excited for that toy, I MUST have it." As Ake made somewhat of an apology and told Vanto about himself, he bowed - reaching his hand out to the boy, in attempt to make amends for the previous moments.

[Vanto Lux]

This kid sure had an appetite. Vanto looked on in a mix of disbelief and disgust. His eyes moved from the boy's face to the strange furry belt Vanto had his eyes on before. The belt was...alive. The belt unwrapped itself and curled up behind Akeuyouta, almost like a tail. Wait, it was a tail! "Holy...!" he let out, putting his hands over his mouth in shock. The two boys just looked at each other, the smacking on the tailed child's lip the only sound being made. Well, that and the sounds of hurried footsteps: that was the hotdog vendor running away due to fright. "You have a...tail." Vanto stated, his jaw nearly to the floor. How come he never meets any normal people?

Once the child was finished with his hotdog, another torrent of words came but Vanto was ready this time. The teen raised his hand up in case any more chunks of meat were coming from his new acquaintance's mouth. Luckily, he was in the clear but the words he was hearing were strange. Since he's met a changeling and a namekian, this kid claiming to be a "Sayings" wasn't that weird but still unbelievable. "Your dad..is from space?" Vanto repeated. "And you're a saying? I don't get it, what kind of name was that?" this kid had to be lying. What race was named "Sayings?"He squinted his eyes, crossing his arms over his chest, nodding mockingly to Akeuyota.

[Akeuyota]

The young Saiyan giggled as Vanto looked as if he was very confused. He didn't seem accustomed to seeing kids with tails, which was weird seeing as he was surrounded by furries - they were everywhere. Akeuyota decided to rap his tail back around his waist, tucking it into itself - so it would act as a belt. He only did this so that Vanto would quit freaking out about it, because it was kind of freaking the Saiyan out, and annoying him somewhat. He kind of doubted the kids intelligence, after he didn't even say his race right - even after he heard it. He sighed gently as he began to speak, in his rushed manor.

"You misheard me, I said Saiyan. S, A, I, Y, A, N - that is what I am. My father is one of the last remaining pure bloods that came to Earth, there are still quite a few of us though. We can do a lot of things you human people can't really do... like eat a lot, or fly. And we have a lot of natural power that stays within us till we get a lot older! But quit looking at me like that, it's weird." He began to shake his head as he laughed a bit, but bowed somewhat for an apology for somewhat insulting Vanto. "Sorry if it seemed insulting, or condescending, I think I used that right... I heard my teacher and some other people use it once."

[Vanto Lux]

Vanto watched the tail the entire time, as it moved from behind Akeuyota to back around his waist, taking its place as a belt. Tension was building up in the air. Vanto didn't believe what this kid was saying. Yes, he was used to seeing furries everywhere but he had never seen a kid with a monkey tail. He's seen a monkey kid with a tail. But this kid was just a normal kid, claiming to be from space. Then, Vanto remembered something odd: his idol, Son Goku had a tail during the tournament. The black haired fanboy didn't really notice that (surprisingly) until now, even after he had watch the thing fifty times over. As Akeuyota spoke, his tone was gentler but Vanto still had to jump over obstacles to understand him. In an effort to look like he did understand, Vanto simply nodded.

"Saiyan gotcha'." he said, his tone showing just skeptical he really was. Vanto stuffed his arms into his pockets, his eyes still on the boy. He was listening but was also trying to decipher his previous statement: he swore something about Frieza was said. "We can fly too." Vanto said, all of a sudden. Assuming this child was telling the truth; why did all aliens think that humans were so weak. These two males had around the same power level, anyway! Despite Akeuyota's demand, Vanto kept looking at him in disbelief. The teen knew was he was going to do next and knew he was going to come as rude. Disregarding the apology, not really thinking much of it, he stroked his chin in thought. "Pure blood saiyan? Under Frieza's grasp? Can you explain that?"

Assuming what the young saiyan was true, Vanto wanted to know about these apparently strong beings in Frieza's army. He leaned forward in anticipation, awaiting Akeuyota's answer.

[Akeuyota]

Akeuyota smiled as the human retorted with a comment, saying that humans were capable of flying. Surprisingly the young Saiyan didn't know that, but then again he wasn't that educated - due to being with his father all the time. He patted Vanto on the shoulder, as a sign of an apology, before he began to speak. "Sorry about that, I didn't mean any harm towards the humans. I just am not that smart... but I also have no idea about humans really. I am only half-way like you, cause my mom is human.. but other than that, I am new to all of this." He scratched his head as he kicked dirt with his foot, just like a child would.

Another question had been asked, questioning the power of pure bloods. This was not something Ake had expected, but he was certainly prepared to talk about it. He felt it was rather embarrassing that a warrior race like the Saiyans was being held captive by a weak alien like Freiza - it was almost disgusting. At any rate, he cleared his throat and began to sigh as he spoke - knowing this conversation could get heated, but he wouldn't allow himself to get angry or emotional about it. "So there are Saiyans that were born on a Planet Vegeta, our old planet - which was destroyed by Lord Freiza. Now Freiza is capable of keeping all the Saiyans under his control, minus my father and I - because Turles is one of the most powerful Saiyans alive. At any rate, we are not as strong as Freiza, because he can transform - but we have never seen his transformations. Our power is limited, because when a Saiyan began to get more powerful, Freiza would kill them off - keeping our race rather weak. Any further questions?"

[Vanto Lux]

This kid scared Vanto some what, the way Akeuyota smiled at him. He seemed surprised yet intrigued at the same time, just like a child. He was child, Vanto seemed to forget. This kid had to be about seven years old. He acted AND looked like it, so Vanto could be more tolerant toward him. The black haired boy smiled when the saiyan boy admitted his stupidity. "Only half." he said bluntly, lifting his boots away from the kicked dirt. Upon asking that question, something must've clicked inside the young man. His face took on a serious expression and he cleared his throat, as if preparing for a long speech.

And a long speech did come. Vanto nodded as he spoke, eyes closed as he soaked in each little detail. So whoever this Turles person -- wait, this guy's father, was would serve as a potentially ally in the battle against Frieza. As Akeuyota spoke, Vanto simply stood there, hands in pocket, eyes closed, ears open.

[Akeuyota]

Akeuyota stared at Vanto, as he became very silent. Hopefully he took in everything that the young Saiyan had just stated, or else it would have been a waste of time. He couldn't help but think that Vanto was a bit confused, or something of the sort - but it didn't really matter. There was nothing really going on, so Akeuyota had to figure out a way to break the ice. He purchased more hotdogs and drinks, because the vendor came back - realizing that he left his cart unattended. He handed a hotdog and soda to Vanto, so he could have food and drink.

He took a bite of his hotdog and chewed it rapidly, swallowing it abruptly. After the remnants of food were all gone, he began to speak "So.... what is there to do around here? I only saw toys, and that was it - so what else is there to do? I wanna train, but I have no idea. I wanted to eat, but I did - and I wanted to make friends, so I am hoping I just got you as a friend... so what now?"

[Vanto Lux]

He took a bite of his hotdog and chewed it rapidly, swallowing it abruptly. After the remnants of food were all gone, he began to speak "So.... what is there to do around here? I only saw toys, and that was it - so what else is there to do? I wanna train, but I have no idea. I wanted to eat, but I did - and I wanted to make friends, so I am hoping I just got you as a friend... so what now?"

Vanto looked at Akeuyota, the awkward silence almost deafening. He took in all the information that granted to him, but doubt it would be of any actual use. Probably this kid just had an overactive imagination but it couldn't hurt Vanto to keep a hold of the info on Saiyans. He watched as Akeuyota purchased a meal for two from the recently present vendor, who had returned after leaving his cart unattended moments ago. The boy thought the black haired child and based on his appetite, wouldn't be surprised. What surprised him was the fact the kid shared his food. "Thanks." Vanto said, trying to sound as sincere as he could but all in all, this kid freaked him out.

Oddly calm, Vanto took a bite as Akeuyota did but took his time., chewing slowly. He swallowed his food and looked at the boy oddly. There were in the thriving metropolis of West City, the only city least controlled by Frieza and he was asking what to do. When the boy mentioned training. "Haha." Vanto exclaimed, spitting out his drink onto the floor. He laughed wholeheartedly but stopped once he realized he was the only one doing so. "Oh, you're serious? You're only a kid...seven..eight, maybe!"

[atrb=width,450,true] And as a race we look back and we’ve come so far While some may conquer, the others had it so hard Akeuyota stood there as the awkward silence was still around, which really bothered him. The two pretty much stood there, in silence - eating hot dogs and occasionally taking a sip of their sodas. He could tell that Vanto found him sharing with a complete stranger a bit odd, but Ake didn't even care. His acts of friendship were sincere because he really wanted friends - and he usually made them, due to his unwavering kindness. He finished chewing the hot dog, and threw away the container it came in and sipped his soda quietly, well as quietly as possible. One thing took Ake by surprise, but it didn't really bother him. His age was misunderstood and then he was practically insulted by his training at such a 'young' age. Ake had no idea why he would assume he was so young, he didn't really look it - well to regular humans he did. He began to use his tail to swirl him up in the air like a helicopter. The young Saiyan cleared his throat whilst hovering by his tail, and began to speak. "Hey now.... don't insult me! I am twelve, Mister Vanto. I have been training since I was like five, its part of being a Saiyan! I am stronger than you too, if you haven't noticed - so don't assume that I am young and weak. Anyway, would you wanna go spar - is there some sort of arena around here fit for fighting?" Akeuyota was excited now, his eyes closed and a big grin came across his face - as he offered to spar with Vanto. But instead, we just complain while there’s no one for us to fight. I guess we’re bored and that's how we keep us occupied WORDS... 271 ; TAG... here ; NOTES... here ; MUSIC... avenged sevenfold, "the fight" ; CREDIT... Damon

[Vanto Lux]

Vanto took a sip of his drink then a bite of his hotdog. Though in silence, their eyes were on each other the entire time. After a while, the teen began to think they having a staring contest but quickly dismissed the thought as it came: he already blinked ten times. He sipped the drink one last time, the liquid that in it ceasing to exist during the last moments of the awkward silence. The kid began to chew, extremely loud by the way and once he was swallowed, looked as if he was going to choke. Really, Akeuyota was just now reacting to the human's comment. Vanto couldn't really talk, the boy had began his self-training at age seven. So even if this kid was young and in-training, it'd be better for him because as the saiyan himself stated, his father taught him.

Then the kid's tail began to spin and then the half-breed began to rise into air, alarming Vanto. The familiar sound of the vendor's hurried footsteps once again were heard and Vanto was debating running too. That was out of the question now because this kid apparently though these two were good friends. They just met! "You're floating...without ki....using your tail." he said calmly though his face screamed shock. After the boy's declaration, Vanto scratched the side of his head. No way this kid was twelve but then again he claimed to be an alien, so Saiyans must've aged differently than humans, despite looking alike. Still, Akeuyota looked like a child and acted like one too. Vanto refused to fight a kid. "I can't. You're only a kid, kid!' So what if they were a year apart?

[Akeuyota]

[atrb=width,450,true] And as a race we look back and we’ve come so far While some may conquer, the others had it so hard Akeuyota listened to and watched Vanto, as he took in what the Saiyan said - and even the reply. It was amazing that the lad still denied the battle with him, just because he was a 'kid.' That was pretty offensive, that he wouldn't even dignify his challenge with a reply, that wasn't negative. He took this as an act of being rude, and that really irritated Ake, as it could be seen in his face - his infamous 'serious' face. His eyebrows tightened, his mouth closed up, and his eyes even became somewhat cold. It really made him look much older too, which was freaky because his face could do that with a single expression. He stared down Vanto for a moment, giving him the death glare. This would more than likely either make him uncomfortable, or feel like a total douche for what he said, hopefully both. Ake crossed his arms now, staring more intensely at Vanto, and he now quit levitating with his tail - and just stood there, looking up at Van. Things were not too pleasant now, seeing as he had royally pissed off Ake - and it was never good to anger a Saiyan. He cleared his throat now, as he prepared to be a douche himself, in an epic speech. "Alright now, you have sort of insulted me. I am a kid, maybe by your standards, but you are in no position to deny my of a battle. Are you scared to be beaten by a Saiyan? Is that it, are humans too prideful to be beaten by a superior race? Sorry to be a jerk, but I am sort of ticked off now - so are we going to spar or not, Vanto?" He resumed his cold gaze, after he closed his mouth. But instead, we just complain while there’s no one for us to fight.
