Vegeta, The Epilogue

[Deleted]

The wind blew over the bloody and broken ground of Vegeta. A planet known for being torn apart by war had not seen such devastation in some time. Their scorched plains now even more so than before, their capital torn to pieces by the raining fun of the traders, and of course the saiyan army, decimated before the might of the World Trade Organization.

What few saiyans were left were in hiding, the non combative women and children, and the men who stayed to guard them. Suki had not sent for them to be destroyed. The planet had indeed followed his rules, A one on one fight to the death, and that was indeed what he got. Suki would not pursue any further action against the planet, or at least not today. It had been nearly a full day since his final bout with Ikezu, where he had sent the Inaurian full speed off to the Planet Namek. His wounds had healed for the most part, leaving nothing more than minor muscle irritation, and the ever looming factor that he was pushed so far in battle. It had not bothered him so much when the earthling brought out his second transformation, however being forced to activate his third was...Unheard of...

Suki had shaken it off, more bitter and angry than he had been before they had gotten there but also, somehow more powerful. The saiyan general had pushed him further than any warrior before, and that had only increased the Icer's energy.

He wore his Armor just as he had when first arriving, its weight not bothering him as much as it used to. Perhaps its effectiveness was slowly dropping.

The call had been sent for all World Trade Organization members to check in here to reflect on the battle, and to finally leave this destroyed planet and move on to the next. Suki sat on his throne, one leg crossed of the other, and his eyes squinted, he was clearly in no mood for tricks or games. Each member would need to come in quickly or be left behind.

[Jorlaxl]

Vegeta's capitol city had once been a thriving, bustling town. But no longer, for Suki's traders have completely decimated the city. Buildings were destroyed, people lay dead, and the city itself was in a minor state of confusion. Had Suki not called his colleagues back to his ship, the city surely would have fallen underneath the trio's whims. The saiyan Serori's fiery emotions, hardly controlled by a saiyan mind. The demon Caius, pure chaos, and yet logically inclined. And finally, the bio-android Jorlaxl. The perfect fighter in the works. All three of them had found companionship in each other, and together, and with Suki's help, the WTO will be unstoppable.

Caius was flying across the city, trying to make his way back to Suki's ship, and found it quite easily. Jorlaxl, however, had a slightly harder time.

"Goddamned training armor. This is killing me." He had just discovered training armor in the museum the trio had previously robbed merely a half hour ago, and Jorlaxl made out with a small fortune in the form of this armor. It was weighted in such a way to help amplify his training gains, and he was already tired of it. It was too heavy to do any fancy running maneuvers, and it was impossible to fly. Therefore, while Caius had an easy time flying to the other end of the city, Jorlaxl was having a Hell of a time, literally.

Carrying Serori on his back, he finally made his way back to Suki's ship, panting heavily. He called out to the ship, alerting his lord of his presence. He didn't know how Suki would react to a new recruit, especially a saiyan. His recent fight with the saiyan forced him to transform, but to what form? Jorlaxl felt power unlike any he had before. Was that Suki's final form? There's no way, such power! If that was his true power, Jorlaxl was going to be safe under Suki's roof for a long time.

"My lord! Suki, get a load of this! There's been an... incident." He slowly dragged the body of Serori into the ship, and layed her down on the floor, next to Suki's throne. Her body was still naked from her recent Oozaru transformation, and Suki would notice the wounds on her.

"Here's a saiyan that decided to turn traitor. She also has the power to transform into a giant monkey, as witnessed tonight. Her power multiplied exponentially, and she was wreaking havoc among her own planet. Caius and I were able to neutralize her though."

Aice lay in his small cot in the dark room; the windows were closed shut, leaving the only light in the room coming from the monitor across the way. He wasn't sleeping just thinking of what had happened in the last day, and of what would come tomorrow. He nearly died the day before in his fight with Izkeu, but luckily Suki came and finished him off before he had the chance to finish Aice off.

Aice was in a bit of a funk to say the least; he hadn't expected to be saved by Suki. He was grateful that he was still alive, but felt ashamed that he was so ineffective in the fight, and without Cauis there to help, he would have been torn to pieces.

Looking up at the ceiling he closed his eyes slowly, listening to the sound of the wind hitting the side of the ship, something that he hadn't heard in while. Peace. It was the first time in a long time where Aice had actually just laid down and had a moment of peace to himself. The ship was working, his team mates were off killing and looting, and he could feel that Suki was close probably somewhere within the ship.

Sure enough, Aice got a call from Suki, which broke through the calmness of the ship. He was demanding that everyone check in at the ship, so that everyone could "reflect" on their fights. Slowly Aice rose from his cot, planting his feet on the hard ground.

As Aice walked towards Suki's throne room, there wasn’t much he was really going to say in the meeting.

What can I really say? I was ineffective in the fight, and I wasn't worth the Ki that Izkeu had...

Around the corner was the throne room, and Suki was waiting there from them. From the direction of the main door, Aice could sense that Jorlaxl was approaching but he could also sense another power level behind him.

Is he being follow?...No, he’s carrying someone with him.

Entering the throne Aice could see Jorlaxl holding a young saiyan over his shoulder; he could tell that she had been injured in a recent fight.

She looks hurt… but why bring the enemy here?

Jorlaxl spoke out to Suki,
"Here's a saiyan that decided to turn traitor. She also has the power to transform into a giant monkey, as witnessed tonight. Her power multiplied exponentially, and she was wreaking havoc among her own planet. Caius and I were able to neutralize her though."

Well that makes sense I suppose, I should probably get her to the medical bay if Suki wishes to keep her alive.

Entering the throne room fully Aice walked over to Suki's throne, taking a bow to his Lord.

“Aice my lord, reporting in as you demanded. I'm sure you’re more than fully aware of what happened in my fight with Ikezu, seeing that he is no longer on this planet.”

Turning to face Jorlaxl, Aice spoke to him,
"If you wouldn't mind taking her down to the medical bay, I’ll be there shortly to mend her wounds, and wake her up'...Looking back at Lord Touketsuki "As soon as I'm done here that is." Saying that with a brief pause.

[Caius]

Night fell on a city ravaged. The streets of Saru City had been emptied, evacuated following a series of marauding terrorist activities by the lesser members of Lord Touketsuki Yakedo's vaunted World Trade Organization. The Saiyan's king, Lord Boliko was noticeably absent, and the best amongst their military had fallen before the mighty fist of the Traders. What remaining military they had was keeping the populace safe, and out of the streets.

Caius and Jorlaxl, having had their fill of looting, plunder, and murder, were now returning at the behest of their commander. Little did the Saiyan capital city know that the World Trade Organization were soon to be leaving their planet, and that they could sleep soundly. After destroying various commercial establishments, robbing a few banks, and destroying a museum entirely, the two traders were now returning to the ship, loaded with loot and a new recruit for their lord, a Serori Satsumaimo. The traitor Saiyan was responsible for the utter destruction of the museum, and she appeared quite sure of her decision to join Touketsuki in his business ventures.

Caius lazily flew overhead, as Jorlaxl, burdened with his training armor, trudged back to the ship, carrying the naked Serori. Her transformation into a giant monkey had torn her clothing, and revealed another disturbing fact about the psychologically imbalanced Saiyan girl. This was an ability that neither of the two had known Saiyans capable of, maybe Suki had known of this. Doing aerial tricks, spinning, and flips, Caius was noticeably silent. To the observer, he might seem bored, but he was actually quite deep in thought, a self-exploration of sorts.

He'd been changing. His childlike personality was being replaced slowly by one more befitting a demon, quite prone to destruction and chaos, but far more self-aware and thoughtful. Since his inception, the demon had gone through quite a roller-coaster ride. He found himself quite the battle-hungry juggernaut that the Makaioshin are prone to be, but less of a mindless murdering individual, as he might have shown himself to be in the past. He'd tried to minimize the casualties as the night went on, mostly because he realized the bad reputation that murdering innocents and raiding cities would give the WTO, but he didn't shy away from the conflict and the plundering.

Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, he landed next to Jorlaxl, and walked into Suki's room on the ship. Jorlaxl presented the unconscious Serori to him, and their fellow trader Aice suggested medical attention. Caius felt that it was his job then, to explain their activities.

My lord, as evidenced by our somewhat haggard appearances, Jorlaxl and I have been out on an evening of marauding. We've brought you back something too, as Jorlaxl had said, we witnessed this Saiyan girl murder her parents, and then we coerced her into joining us in raiding a museum.

Caius bowed low, and then decided to do as Aice had done, and make himself accountable for his failure to defeat their opponent.

"We are sorry we had to trouble you to dispose of the Saiyan's ally Ikezu, and I thank you personally for saving me from the humiliation of a death at his hands. I require more training, if I am to be worthy of my title as Trader.

[Deleted]

Suki's balled fist rested lightly below his chin as Jorlaxl and Caius explained their little party around the planet Vegeta. He found himself less than enthused by the news of his men acting like common barbarians. His tail flailed out from the back his throne, as it always did when he was agitated, and his nose flared slightly as he began to frown.

"Her?"

Suki said using his free hand to point a finger at the saiyan, causing her to float into the air, her body unconscious and to the untrained eye, lifeless. They had done a number on the little saiyan, it was evident by her condition, but even more disturbing was her nakedness. Had they done unspeakable things to her? Although that would be acceptable to Suki, it would be unseemly to do so when she is unconscious.

Suki examined her for a moment before shrugging, and callously dropping the body from the floating position onto the hard ground below.

"Whatever, if you want to keep this pet that is fine, but you will need to work with Aice to get the modifications to the ship so that your pet monkey can live here. Her future actions will weigh on your shoulders Jorlaxl"

With that suki turned his attention to Caius, he had made an attempt at thanking suki for his rescue. Suki knew that this needed to be nipped in the bud immediately before such a thing got out of hand.

"As for saving you and Aice, I should have you know that Ikezu was the only remaining living general of the saiyan army, I went after him to send a message to that ungrateful ape Boliko. Your lives mean nothing more to me than the monkey I killed earlier. Serve me loyally and you will not meet his fate, but save you from your own fight? Pure coincidence....Oh and I didnt save you from any humiliation, that should still burn in you, such incompetence would certainly hurt my pride."

Suki was on a roll, although they had won the battles on Vegeta, and all made it back alive, he still found it necessary to scold his men. Such failure could not be tolerated in the future. It was hard for suki to fathom, but he would actually need his men to fight for themselves in the near future. Foe's like Boliko were enough to force suki into his prime, but to be stuck babysitting his men at the same time? It wouldnt happen, they would not be graced so pleasently again.

"And another thing, What do you mean she helped you invade a museum. Am I to understand that after your seperate spars, you simply went on a killing spree?"

As suki said this he moved his arm so that the shirt cuffs of both Jorlaxl and Caius began to rise, bringing them into the air. Although they could oppose this motion with some effort, it would likely lead to more combat.

This telekinetic power was different from when they had sparred with suki, his power had clearly increased astronomically from that fight, and even now as he wore his weighted armor it didnt appear to matter, his powers even in his base form had become to incredible that no ordinary warrior would be able to face him. He was in a completely different league than anyone on the planet vegeta now.

Suki continued, his men now easily on the tips of their toes.

"We are not barbarians, I stated that if I got a fight to the death with their general that we would not harm their planet. Your fights with the other generals were understandable, but skirmishes with the weaklings around the planet are overkill, and you will tarnish my name as a fair business man!"

With that suki released them both, pushing his Ki slightly so that they might stumble back upon landing. He hadnt wanted to hurt them, but rather to remind them that his word was final, and that their violent impulses would need to be put in check before simply destroying things.

"But more importantly, Gurin, Where were you during this? These are your underlings, why were they running amock around the city!?"

Suki released his anger out on Gurin, whom was indeed in charge of watching these fighters, and keeping them in line. He raised his finger and in a swift movement made a slicing Ki that struck the Namekian in the chest, creating a large scar across his chest that slowly began to dribble purple blood. It wasnt enough to badly harm the Namekian, but it was painful enough that Gurin did cringe when hit. He did not however move from his position at attention, his hands behind his back as a form of military respect to his ruler.

"I apologize my lord, I will not let them out of my site from now on"

Gurin said, as if the attack had never occured, he would suck in the humiliation, he had to. Suki was indeed his lord, and he would follow him to hell and back if that is what it took, so such discipline was well within his right.

"Well make sure it doesnt!"

He said looking back out to the crowd of followers, who were now likely on edge and prepared for the worst. But suki was done scolding for the day. It was time to get off of this awful planet and remove themselves from it forever.

"Go get yourselves cleaned up, and make sure you get a good training in on intense gravity, I refuse to have men unable to fight! We will attack Namek next, they broke our agreement so there will be no mercy, you will be free to blow anything you want to pieces, but the Guru lives, I will kill him myself!"

With that suki dismissed his men, and they would head off immediately to the Planet Namek, to finally encounter the King Boliko, and destroy the saiyan King, taking the dragon balls that were rightfully suki's.

[Jorlaxl]

Jorlaxl stood proudly over his new acquisition as first Aice, and then Caius filed into the room, going over their respective fights. He was surprised that Suki had to intervene in their fight to win. That struck Jorlaxl as chilling. What if Suki hadn't stopped the Inaurian from killing them both? Would they have pulled through? Or... Would they have-

He immediately stopped that train of thought. He didn't like where that train would lead him. Suki spoke to him and told him that the saiyan would his problem, and that didn't surprise him one bit. Jorlaxl always wanted an underling. Someone to lick his boots, shine his shoes, and just generally be a helper. He bowed low to Suki, and accepted his charge. "I assume all responsibility for this saiyan, m'lord. You can trust in my judgement. As for helping Aice, I don't know how much help I can be to him, I'm no good with machines. Ironic, huh?"

He stood there, smiling, as Suki continued with his little speech with questioning what Jorlaxl meant by destroying a museum. Frankly, Jorlaxl took offense to being equated to little more than a simple thug. "Lord Suki! We didn't just wantonly destroy civilians. We were looking through the museum for valuables. We needed to enhance our training results so we won't embarrass you. And now, me and Caius are strong enough to take you on in the state you're in now."

He waited a moment, before continuing. "We aren't challenging you, I'm just stating that we can take care of ourselves, Lord Suki. The museum fiasco was a necessary evil so we can further our own careers. I apologize though. It won't happen again."

Without warning, Jorlaxl felt himself rising, and he knew automatically that Suki was employing his telekinetic powers against both him and Caius. He saw his ally lift up into the air, and noticed that he was, as well. He didn't fight it. He knew that Suki was trying to make an example out of them both, and Jorlaxl agreed with it. They needed to be reminded of the power that their master held. He was willing to bear the brunt of whatever it is Suki was ready to dole out.


"We are not barbarians, I stated that if I got a fight to the death with their general that we would not harm their planet. Your fights with the other generals were understandable, but skirmishes with the weaklings around the planet are overkill, and you will tarnish my name as a fair business man!"

Suddenly, before Jorlaxl was able to react, Suki pushed him and Caius back again with his telekinetic powers. Jorlaxl saw this coming and barely caught his balance back again, avoiding an embarrassing fall. He wasn't ready to make a fool of himself in front of his master. Suki finished up his speech, and dismissed his colleagues with little more than a wave. Slowly, Jorlaxl bowed a low bow and walked back to his room. As he left, he was thinking of ways to show to his Lord just how valuable he was.

((Finished, PL!))

[Caius]

Caius stood up, and received the rebuke he knew he deserved. The WTO had made their demands under the condition that their completion would result in safety and their leaving the planet. The reprimand was necessary, he knew Suki wasn't one to get sentimental or protective over his men. His failure to defeat Ikezu in a fight meant to be weighted towards the WTO was a product of his weakness, inexperience, and his incompetence, as Suki had said.

He would not take the rebuke for his actions, as the acquisition of Zeni was important in furthering the goals of the WTO. Jorlaxl had received armor that would improve his training, and the two had also obtained a decent sum of Zeni and other valuables for their efforts. The funds would go far towards Suki's business enterprises, and for him to think them merely cheap murderers and thugs was an insult.

He was thinking this in his head, when he felt himself rise slowly off the ground. Suki was a lot stronger than he'd been before, perhaps pushing himself to fight the Saiyan general Hiruen had been a catalyst to push his power to newer levels? He easily lifted the Makaioshin, and Caius felt himself utterly at the Icer's disposal.

"We are not barbarians, I stated that if I got a fight to the death with their general that we would not harm their planet. Your fights with the other generals were understandable, but skirmishes with the weaklings around the planet are overkill, and you will tarnish my name as a fair business man!"


Caius was thrown back, landing on the heels of his feet, before stumbling backwards. He swung his arms in arcs, but managed to catch himself before he fell unceremoniously. He still felt embarassed at having been handled in such a manner. The heat rising slightly in him, he swallowed his pride, as a matter of better judgment.

My lord, we sought not to bring disgrace to your name. The acquisition of necessary funds and equipment, we thought necessary to furthering our goals. Nevertheless I apologize. I shall show greater discretion in the future

Suki then gave them the plan for Namek, and gave them free rein over how to handle the situation once wrapped up. This time, their attacks had their master's sanction. Suki must be angry indeed, to put such a bloody watermark on his orders. Caius nodded in the affirmative, before bowing at the waist, and walking to the training area, ready to get in a good workout and prepare himself for the Namekian conflict.

((Wow. Didn't read Jor's post before posting this. I really copied him D:))

((PL for me, as well))

[Deleted]

Aice stood there in front of Suki listening to him scold his men, with each of their faults. Calling everyone one in the room out on what they had done wrong, but Aice knew it was necessary in the development of the team as a whole...and Suki enjoyed it.

Suki overlooked the young Saiyan, with a mark of disgust on his face. Picking her up with his telekinetic powers he got a closer look at the nude Saiyan. At this point Aice didn't know whether or not he would spare the young creature, regardless of anyone's opinion it was really only Suki's that really mattered in this decision, or any decision.

Dropping her body back to the ground like a rag doll, Suki turned his attention back over at Jorlaxl,

"Whatever, if you want to keep this pet that is fine, but you will need to work with Aice to get the modifications to the ship so that your pet monkey can live here. Her future actions will weigh on your shoulders Jorlaxl."

How Aice got dragged into this, he never knew but he was glad to be of assistance to the new member of the team.

Quickly Suki snapped back towards Cauis and Aice calling them out about their fight.

"As for saving you and Aice, I should have you know that Ikezu was the only remaining living general of the saiyan army, I went after him to send a message to that ungrateful ape Boliko. Your lives mean nothing more to me than the monkey I killed earlier. Serve me loyally and you will not meet his fate, but save you from your own fight? Pure coincidence....Oh and I didn't save you from any humiliation, that should still burn in you, such incompetence would certainly hurt my pride."

...Your lives mean nothing more to me than the monkey I killed earlier...

Ouch that hurt, but I know it’s true. The only real reason that I've haven't been killed off is because of my loyalty towards Lord Touketsuki. I’ll make sure I'll do better next time, and every time after.

During this whole time while Aice had been thinking to himself Suki, had elevated Caius and Jorlaxl into the air, yelling at them for their killing of "weaklings" around the planet. While they tried to make their claims for why they did were just, in the end it was useless. Suki always had the final say...always.

Tossing them back to ground, Suki whipped his heads towards the only person in the room that hadn't been mentally or physically smashed yet, Gurin.

"But more importantly, Gurin, Where were you during this? These are your underlings, why were they running amock around the city!?"

With the swift movement of his hand he made a slicing Ki that struck the Namekian in the chest, causing blood to flow from the new open wound, staining the Namekian's ripped clothes in purple blood.

"I apologize my lord, I will not let them out of my site from now on" Came from Gurin.

Suki looked back over at all of his men, Aice thought that more was to come for the rest of them, but instead

"Go get yourselves cleaned up, and make sure you get a good training in on intense gravity, I refuse to have men unable to fight! We will attack Namek next, they broke our agreement so there will be no mercy, you will be free to blow anything you want to pieces, but the Guru lives, I will kill him myself!"


I guess even Lord Touketsuki gets tired of ripping people new ones, lucky us.

Dismissing his men, Aice walked over to Gurin. Looking up at the large green man he said,

"Follow me to the medical bay; I'll fix you up quick."

In the Medical Bay...

Gurin hadn't yet show up but he still had another patient that needed attention at the monument the young Saiyan that Jorlaxl had brought in earlier. Jorlaxl had brought her into the medical bay and laid her down onto the cool steel operating table. Aice looked her over, seeing the various puncture wounds bruises, and Ki burns. Turning his head to face Jorlaxl,

"You did quite a number on her, but not to worry I can fix her up in given time. Come back in a few hours and she should be up and awake."

Going back to her, Aice took out a small steel tool with a sharp point at the tip of it. It was a multipurpose surgical/ cleansing device, design for most basic surgeries and wounds. Aice took the tool and pushed it close to the open wound on her side, immediately he got to work closing the wound, also cleaning it as he went. Doing this process multiply times Aice managed to close all the wounds that he could find.

Walking to the medical cabinet on the wall, Aice opened its doors and reached in for a small bottle. Returning to the girl he opened the bottle and began to apply it to the Ki burns.

This should stop any infections, and also keep the wounds from feel like there burning once she wakes.

After he had applied the solution, Aice put the cap back on and looked over her. All of her wounds had been treated, all expect the bruises but those would naturally heal themselves over time, so not much he could do there. Taking out a blue blanket from one of the nearby cabinet Aice laid across the Saiyan, it would at least keep her warm while she was passed out.

Laying a set of plain clothes on the chair next to her, Aice walked across the room and sat at his computer. From here he could see the whole room and Saiyan, in case she woke up. Looking down at the screen, Aice began to run tests on her blood. He was searching for something in her DNA, but what could it be?

[Gray Callahan]

This shouldn't have plot boosts I'm afraid, sorry.
