On The Job (open)

[Deyaru Matzu]

In this world, almost every day there was a city being terrorized by some of Frieza's soldiers that was on a lower level than most of the others. Some days even the higher levels came out for fun, either way, somebody was having fun with the little amount of civiliation that wasn't controlled by Frieza. Deyaru had been personally ordered by Frieza to go to a small city in the North named North City. Deyaru had personally requested that if it seemed like he needed help, then Frieza should send someone out to help him (team work was his specialty after all).

Frieza had no problem with the request, and sent Deyaru off. Currently in the small city, Deyaru was having fun, wrecking havoc on all the little buldings and even smaller people. Ki blast for ki blast, it was starting to get really messy from all the blood and gore around him. He enjoyed it though, of course, he was after all a lover to blood, gore and death.

Almost every building was down, and his scouter was buzzing, telling him there were a few power levels here and there, but all were barely above ten. He was scanning around the city, and noticed a power level that was moving towards the outskirts of the city. Deyaru used his Instant Transmission when he spotted this person while running, and got in front of them. Deyaru smiled at the man he was standing in front of. "Please have mercy upon my soul!" Deyaru chuckled loudly at the man, "No mercy on those that run from my wrath.."

He then pulled out his Katana from his sheath on his hip, then he stabbed the human in the throat, and let the blade go out through the back of his neck. Deyaru flew back up into the air, and began to meditate high up in the air, in the center of all the destruction.

[Tien Shinhan]

Traveling around the world by himself was something that Tien was used to doing, but there was something different on this day. He was sensing a power level east of his current location, which was concerning to him as he thought that there was a town in that direction. Knowing that Frieza’s tyranny extended throughout the world, Tien took it upon himself to find out exactly who was causing trouble in this section of the world. He kicked off of the ground and headed in the direction of where the Ki he was sensing was emanating from, and all that he hoped was that he wasn’t too late stop what was going on.

As he approached the area known as North City, Tien could see that there was some serious destruction, so at least he knew that he was in the right place. Now all that he needed to do was find the culprit responsible for all of this pain and devastation, which wasn’t as hard as Tien had thought it was going to be as there was only one person that was off the ground during the fight. Since he could see him, then it stood to reason that Tien was just as equally exposed to this person, which meant that there was no real harm in talking to this person first.

From what he could tell, this being’s power level was not close enough to pose a problem, but he would keep his distance until he was completely sure that this person was not masking some hidden power from Tien’s eyes. “Judging by your appearance, I am going to assume that you work for Frieza. Only someone as despicable as him would attack a city that doesn’t have the means to defend itself from such an attack.” He clenched his fists at the thought of the people who had died because this guy lacked any sort of honor, and Tien was going to make sure that this guy didn’t cause any more damage to this planet.

“It’s time that someone taught you that your actions have consequences!”

[Spike the Impaler]

Spike came looking for his partner, Deyaru. they were assassins in Frieza's Army, and he was told that he'd be heading to this, this North City. He caught Deyaru's signature on his Scouter and grinned, but it quickly turned to a scowl as another, more powerful signature appeared. Spike took off faster.

He arrived in time to hear Tien's threat, and, scowling at him through the Scouter, Spike realized that this was the energy he saw. He flew down to hover next to Deyaru. "If you're feeling froggy, my dear, disgusting human, than leap. Please." He drew his swords as if to emphasize his point. Wicked looking things, his swords. They were scimitars, long curved swords with broad tips for easy dismemberment. they also had wicked looking spikes on the pommels, a single six inch long deadly spike per sword. "I gotta get my jollies somehow though, so please; leap."

[Vanto Lux]

There was a disturbance. Vanto looked up from where he was, a small little village located a bit from North City. Why was he here? To visit his grandmother, who had abandoned the city life just after his father and come to settle down with those who were more..."in tune with nature", as she claimed. It was a community of twenty houses, a small hospital (that only used herbal medicine and intense healing techniques that were all obselete when compared to the hospitals of the West City), a market place and a forum, a place that most of the villages people came to hang out and gossip. In fact, that last place was where Vanto and his grandmother were leaving.

"Jeez, Grandma'. How can you just sit and talk about people for three hours." he said jokingly, a slight smile on his face. The taller (only by two inches) woman simply patted her grandson's head, a toothy grin on her wrinkled face. Even in old age, Grandma Lux was beautiful: bright, warm black eyes and long strings of grey hair pulled back into a tight bun. Her outfit consisted of some mix of a multi-layed dress and different colored necklaces and charms. The two walked side by side down the dirt path that served as the village streets, Grandma Lux chuckling to herself in response to Vanto's comment.

"What else is there to do in this world, my boy?" the elder said, her arms folding behind her back. Vanto looked at his grandmother and shrugged. She was right, not much to do when you're under the rule of a galactic tyrant. Just as the teen was going to respond, a large explosion was heard, the sound of muffled screams reaching his ears. There were bright lights in the distance and as Vanto focused, he could feel three power levels, all very much higher than his. Grandma Lux stopped in place, staring at the light show in the distance. "That was...North City." she said, looking at Vanto worriedly.

The teen was ready to rocket off into the sky and check on the destruction but just before he did, Vanto glanced at his grandmother. The two locked eyes and the old woman just nodded. "Come back alive."

Vanto nodded and in a flash of white ki, shot into the skies, racing through the clouds. Within minutes, he arrived at North City airspace only to see three people already present. Preparing to fight, the teen brought one fist angrily in front of him. "What's going on!?"

[Deyaru Matzu]

As soon as Deyaru found a little peace and quiet, there was a pretty loud mouthed man around him. "And who the HELL could you be?!" He smiled at the bald headed man, because not only was he brave, but he had also been the only human to EVER get in this close to him on purpose. Deyaru kept a smile on his face, even after the man answered whatever he answered.

In order to be able be sure about this man's power, he tapped the button on his scouter, and found that this man had about 20,000 on him. He was relieved when his partner came, but then again, Spike WAS weaker than Deyaru power level wise. He looked over at Spike and chuckled slightly, "Well, I would have gotten you if anybody knew where you were, y'jerk!"

He stood beside his partner in crime, and was ready to jump the one man with the three eyes, but then, the man got back up from some kid who was barely hitting four foot tall. "Uh, kid, you should run along, before you get hurt on this battle field.." Deyaru had atleast 10,000 on the small being.

Deyaru did the Instant Transmission down to the dead body to pull his Katana from the dead man's throat, did it again to appear behind Vanto, and aimed to cut off Vanto's right hand.

[Spike the Impaler]

Spike smiled at Deyaru's banter; he had always admired his ability to keep things light while on a mission. Spike watched as the kid showed up and Deyaru made his attack. Spike liked to watch. It gave him almost as much pleasure as killing something himself. Almost.

"Don't be too hard on the kid, Deyaru. I'd like a new throw rug."

Spike glanced over at Tien, his voice quieter and more menacing. "Now's your chance to leap, froggy." He just hovered there, waiting on Tien to make a move, Deyaru's attack happening out of the corner of his eye.

"Better leap soon, Deyaru's pretty fast."

[Tien Shinhan]

The entrance of a second alien would make things a little more complicated for anyone else, but Tien had a trick up his sleeve that would keep these two beings on their toes. This new one seemed to be a sadistic sort of person who loved fighting and quite possibly had a sword obsession that Tien wasn’t going to dwell on for fear of creating bad images in his mind. “I’m afraid that it is going to take more than a couple of letter openers to intimidate me away from this fight.”

Of course, Tien wasn’t counting on the arrival of some kid who’s power level wasn’t even enough to slow down one of the two aliens in the area. “Listen to the mentally disturbed alien, and run home kid. This is no place for someone so young.” He wasn’t trying to sound harsh, but this kid wasn’t a Saiyan like Goku who could have handled a fight at this level when he had been at that age. Unfortunately, this statement came a little too late as the first alien retrieved his sword and moved to strike out at the young boy.

The second alien’s words were not lost on him as Tien did the one thing that he could do in such a situation. Knowing that he wouldn’t be able to save the boy without being cut, he began to quickly charge energy into the tip of his right index finger and aimed it straight at the man’s head. Within moments, Tien fired off a superheated beam of energy at the alien with the katana to hopefully force him away from the young boy that was standing there. Of course, the boy was going to have to move rather quickly as well in order to keep from being burned by the Dodon Ray.

[Vanto Lux]

Spotting the three other fighters, who were all on a whole another level compared to him, Vanto immediately dropped into a stance. "I don't who's on who's side but I definitely know that you're the one at fault here!" he said, pointing to the nearest alien: the one with blue hair. His eyes fierce, the hand in front of his face uncurled, now forming an open, tense hand with all of his digits pressed tightly together. Electric ki began to bounce off his finger tips and in a manner of seconds, his entire hand was enveloped in a blue-current like energy. The sound of popping and crackling could be heard the teen solidified his stance, just as the alien vanished, appearing only to grab his sword and then disappeared once more.

He felt the power level coming closer: he couldn't see the man but knew that the the alien's target was indeed him. Ready to react, the blue haired alien appeared next next to him, katana coming down to cut off his hand. Damn, he thought and pulled his hand, the katana narrowly grazing his fingertip and cutting a bit of skin off. At that moment, the screeching sound of the approaching ki reached his ears. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw a thin yellow beam shooting through the air. Luckily, unlike the previous attack, this one wasn't for him.

The teen's aura flared up around him and Vanto immediately shot back, out of range as the searing beam of energy raced toward the enemy alien's head. Now he knew that the three eyed man on his side. His arm still up in front of him in a defensive way, Vanto turned his head to his savior. "Thanks, Mister!" he said before a look of utter confusion washed over his face. Wasn't the three-eyed guy from the tournament? Vanto had remembered him from the previous tournament and from watching the ones before that. It was...Tien Shinhan! "Hey, you're that Tien guy!"

Moving through the air to come up next to Tien, Vanto shot the guy a soft smile and took on an offensive stance. " Don't shoot me down because of my age and power level, I can hold my own:trust me." he boasted before raising his arm toward the stationary alien. "I'll take on that one, you handle the stronger one!" he said before holding both arms outstretched to his sides, the electric ki technique forming in his other hand, although at a higher magnitude and the already-formed attack increasing its output to match. "Let's go!" he shouted, rushing toward the dual-sword wielding alien.

[Deyaru Matzu]

"WHAT THE...?!" Was his only reaction towards the sudden attack that for some reason was brutally aimed for his HEAD. Who knew any human could be that brutal... Well, then again, every race had it's peaceful, generally weak people, and their murdering, sadistic people (like Spike). Deyaru had to counter with a..... Step back motion, where he simply.. Stepped back...? Well, it did stop him from getting a big dent or hole in his head, depending on what kind of ki attack that was.

He didn't have to hear whatever the child had to say about who takes who, and he didn't care that the man was stronger than him... "Nobody gets away with almost harming me! No mercy!" He immedietally put his Katana wielding stance on, and paused for dramatic effect. He then charged at the man that the child revealed as Tien. His first cut attempt was to the lower rib area, next cut attempt would be a combination of fast cuts that were aimed for the torso area altogether, and next cut attempt would be a body spin cut aimed towards Tien's head. If any of these hit, then he would put his katan in his sheath swiftly, and start a combination of punches and kicks, all around his body.

[Tien Shinhan]

Tien watched as his move was successful at getting the two separated from one another, but things were just beginning. The boy quickly thanked him for his assistance, while also mentioning that he knew who he was. That was something that the three eyed man was going to have to ask about later if this fight ended in a pleasant way. “I don’t doubt your confidence, but these two are not children so if it looks like he is about to kill you then tell me.” Tien would have to use his trump card to save the boy in that case.

His attention turned back to the alien with the katana as he seemed to be pretty irritated by the maneuver that Tien had done to him, but this wouldn’t be the easiest thing as the alien seemed to be an expert with his sword. The first strike made a shallow cut across the area of his lower ribs, but Tien was fortunate enough to fly upward to avoid the next two attempts. Looking down at his new wound, Tien had a brief flashback to when he faced his former master who also fancied himself with a blade, but that moment soon passed as he had to focus on what he was going to do.

“I guess that you can call me nobody.” It was time to take put these two aliens at a disadvantage in this fight with a rather simple move, but he would have to give a warning to the kid. Close your eyes immediately.[/color] After doing this, Tien positioned his hands close to his face and his fingers pointing towards his eyes. “Solar Flare!” With the utterance of those words, a bright light was fired out that would blind anyone that was looking in his direction, which would hopefully give them an opening to counterattack.

[Spike the Impaler]

Spike laughed as the child came after him with such confidence. He admired spunk, and this kid had it in spades, even going so far as to produce auras around his hands that seemed to be Ki enhanced forms of Bio-Electricity. A unique and interesting maneuver, to say the least. But Spike wasn't stupid. His swords were metal, and could conduct the power the boy wielded. He wasn't about to let THAT happen.

Spike waited until the boy was closer to him before leaping over him, swatting him on the bum on the way by with the flat of one of his swords.

After swatting the boy on the behind, he flew up above the boy. He crossed his swords in front of him and charged a Ki Blast into a sphere located at the point the swords crossed. "You got moxie, kid, I'll give you that. And I do so like playing with my meal. I hope this doesn't kill you outright, I wouldn't want my new throw rug to be charred." With that, he launched the blast by pulling his swords apart fast, the red sphere of power streaking towards the boy with incredible speed.

It was then that the Solar Flare went off, and Spike was blinded by it. He brought his hands to his eyes as he screamed in frustration. "Ah, HELL no, you lousy, three eyed, disgusting freak Human!"

[Vanto Lux]

Upon coming in range, Vanto attempted to swipe at the alien's chest, only for him to fly over and completely dodge the attack. "Gah!' he let out in frustration as something connected with his behind, sending him tumbling through the air and making him loose concentration, the technique dispelling. As he rolled through the skies, the roaring sound of approaching ki was heard and the teen could've swore he heard Tien say something to him. Deciding to listen to the three-eyed men, Vanto shut his eyes immediately upon being commanded, managing to avoid the Solar Flare attack.

Once regaining his balance in the air, Vanto came to an immediately halt and shot to the left, dodging the red sphere of ki. "You mis--" Vanto wanted to say but himself upon noticing Spike was disoriented from what ever attack Tien used, a smirk spread across his face. "Hey, Mister Tien! Dust this fool!" Vanto commanded before throwing his hands up exaggerated, ki swirling and condensing into his palms. After an appropriate amount of time, the human's arms were now outstretched in front of him, moving like wildfire as he unleashed a large volley of ki blasts at his enemy alien.

[Deyaru Matzu]

The suprising thing was that this human was fast enough to block his katana, and his physical attacks! There was a brief intermission for the next action, because not only was Tien thinking of a strategy, but so was Deyaru. As soon as his plan was thought out, the very instant..... He was blinded by some very bright light!
