(Pyrrha-POV)
Searching in the caverns of this rock, we lost track of them in here and searching wasn't helping us. The ship maneuvered through the tunnels with ease, there was a feeling though… she could no longer sense the three life forms on their ship… Searching all of the different paths this large rock has would be a hassle, so perhaps letting Kron blow it up would have been the right thing to do… No, doing so could put the dragon ball at risk. Pyrrha wasn't sure just how fragile those things were.
"Are we still tracking them still Yamcha? I cannot sense them now, the winding paths of this place, … I cannot sense the three on board the ship either which is not good. They might have doubled back."
"Ah, yeah… now that you mention it, I feel ya. I cannot sense them also. Whoever they are, they aren't fighters, that much I can say... Did we get led into here while those aliens doubled back or something." he asked, looking at his instruments of the console system as he piloted the ship, Pyrrha keeping an eye on her instruments, the systems she was fiddling with, when a large creature burst out of the rock above them, a worm or snake- a caterpillar it most resembled though the size of a great ape.
"Maneuvering! Look at the size of these freaks! Eh! There are more of them converging on our position! I'm going to-" the ship was hit from the underside, pushing it off course briefly as Yamcha rushed to fix their trajectory, driving the ship with skill.
"I'm here! Look at these guys. Should I go deal with them. I might as well." Kron quickly made to use 'Instant Transmission' focusing on her… he vanished from the ship, before appearing right outside of the ship with precision as he took advantage of her position near the cockpit to appear on the outside, for which she watched him power up into 'Super Saiyan Two', his Ki cackling as he vanished from sight. One of the worms was annihilated in one shot, spattering over the hull and window.
"Well, I wanted to test this button." Yamcha said, pressing it and the viewing window to pilot the ship was being washed down, much like a car. Pyrrha deadpanned, surprised Bulma would do something like that but didn't question it, for Bulma was known for being eccentric.
(????-POV)
"Hey, we've touched down! Let's get this to Cardinal Mutchy Mutchy, will be rewarded for sure!" Bon Para smirked, the dragon ball gripped in his hand. Their victorious acquisition of their prize from those strong aliens, whom had enough speed to keep up with them… until
"Yep, now let me do the talking yeah." Son Para cackled loudly, they quickly headed inside the Luud cults headquarters on planet Luud. The extravagant palace the cult was situated in made Bon Para almost saliva in anticipation for their reward for the… thing- orb they stole. Finding the dragon ball was hard, though once they happened upon the planet they stole it on, for food supplies, the lucked out in the fact there was one right under their nose, on planet. They lucked out with their advanced AI computer system, which helped to track such a prize as the six star dragon ball down, using it's logic and the scanning systems to track the at the time unknown radiation this thing radiated. Now they could very well track the others down.
"Right brother, kek kek" their youngest brother Don Para chuckled in his high-pitched tone, they passed by guards, heading deep into the structure. The hums hit their ears, becoming louder as words could be heard now. The fanatic chants of the aliens assembled in the great hall, to seeing the Cardinal, of which he shouted to the crowd… whip in hand while they said the name of Luud, the totem they were worshiping behind the Cardinal. The Cardinal shouted, hoarse voice but the crack of his whip enforced his words of silence, effectively as the assembled worshipers stopped their chanting. Bon Para noticed some new individuals in the hall, the green skin and orange hair, these warriors looked quite serious, sneering down upon the fanatics. Their leader, dressed in more exquisite apparel was talking with some other individual in the corner, the one with a bowl cut hairdo- not even in fashion! They moved to behind a pillar while these ginger armored guys now stood in front, blocking any attempt by anyone to eavesdrop on their conversation.
Bon Para and his brothers stood now on stage at attention, murmuring quieting down as an another alien stood forwards, to stand and then bow in front of the Cardinal.
"You! You've brought a dragon ball for me have you! Well?"
"Ah well, yes… Uh, what if I haven't uh, sir?" the Cardinal replied with a smug expression, still sharp as he shouted his reply. Bon and his brothers watched on silently, like the others.
"Then you'll get the whip… Now, did you bring a dragon ball or not?" the alien of whom was being questioned hesitated, though he replied a moment after, standing to his full height.
"I uh, no Cardinal Mutchy Mutchy. I uh, I hadn't much to go on to find one. I did search far and wide but the galaxy is vast… and contested, as I even made my way through Frieza force patrols and blockades sanctioned by the P.T.O. I beg your forgiveness-" Bon Para and his brothers tensed when, Cardinal Mutchy Mutchy lunged, his whip cracking through the air, wrapping around the neck of the until now groveling alien, tightened as said alien tried and failed to remove the whip. The Cardinal shouted during his attack.
"-Failure! Is unacceptable! Now, your reward…" The totem, it's eyes… they begun to glow red, the alien with the whip wrapped around his neck, struggling until he begun to stiffen, shrinking down suddenly as if it was magic. The Cardinal then picked up what remained of the guy, now the size of a doll.
"...Was carrying out Lord Luud's will really so difficult… Wouldn't it have been easier… than this." The cardinal threw the doll into a large chrome ceremonial jar in front of Lord Luud's statue, in which it then glowed a sickly green, a small shock wave erupting from the top briefly. Humming loudly, the statue's eyes glowed red momentarily, as bubbles floated upwards inside that time glass-looking thing nearby. Bon Para and his brothers took a hesitant step forwards, though they were beholden to do so as they indeed did get such a prize such as the dragon ball they secured. They should be rewarded immensely!
"In life he was a failure! But, in death this journeyman has achieved greatness because his vital energy has been absorbed by Lord Luud himself! Let us beg of Luud that our end might be just as glorious as his!! Well… WHEN I SAY BEG! I MEAN NOW!!" Bon Para's brother Son Para gulped, he spoke loud enough for only his brothers could hear him, nervously.
"H-Hey Para's, we should dip like, right now. Come one before we're made an example." Bon sighed, he too was nervous, but for what?
"Brothers, we've succeeded were that one has failed, come. We're to be rewarded I tell you! You recall, we've got a dragon ball yeah!" some encouraging words, they all agreed though their self-boasting was cut short when the Cardinal called out, using his whip to silence everyone within the hall.
"Next! Approach the alter!" The three of them walked forwards, Bon removing the six star dragon ball from his armor and held it up.
"Uh- Y-Yes!"
"Did you bring a dragon ball?" the Cardinal asked, to the point and Bon Para replied.
"Uh, yes Cardinal! My brothers and I have b-brought a dragon ball as requested!" he offered the small sphere to the Cardinal, the alien cult leader's face couldn't be viewed as he wore face-obscuring turban so to discern him for his facial features the brothers couldn't do. Though from the looks in his eyes, Bon Para at least knew that they were about to be rewarded greatly!
Stalking forwards, Cardinal Mutchy Mutchy took the offered dragon ball from his palm and observed it closely, murmuring to himself.
"Well, let's see… Hmm… Well, it does look authentic alright… Para brothers… you have accomplished what many others could not! You are the first ones to succeed." he whispered a 'told ya so' to his more worried younger brothers.
'See brothers, there is nothing fear here right!" more relaxed, it was the youngest, Don Para who replied.
"H-He's rolling out the red carpet for us! I wonder what kind of reward we're going to get-"
"-I wish I could give you three a reward but sadly… I can't. I'm afraid… You three have committed a terrible blunder. According to our new friends… we're aware of a powerful force, besides our Lord Luud whom are also after these dragon balls. A divine message from Lord Luud, as well as a warning from our new compatriots in the reemerging Hera empire, we've learned that an alien named Cooler is also gathering the dragon balls. But the one of whom you took the dragon ball from already had one other when you stole this one. Meaning… you let the cretins whom had another on their ship get away with it!" A physically imposing warrior and his similar looking warriors stood forwards, calling towards the Cardinal.
"My lord, the ones who they stole from, those Earthlings… they were earthlings yeah?" this warrior sneered down at Bon and his brothers, awaiting an answer, for which he quickly replied at the sight of him.
"Uh- Y-Yeah, they look like them y-yeah. O-One had a t-tail though so-"
"-Heh, A tail… You've got a Saiyan in their midst." The Cardinal snapped, replying with annoyance, not one for playing games with words or something.
"a Saiyan, so what? Do you think Lord Luud fears some named warrior to overcome his godly powers! What of it?" The physically peak ginger chuckled, replying, his deep voice sent chills up Bon Para and his brothers spines.
"Our business has concluded here, though will stay and help you… in return for the dragon ball. Our emperor would be-"
"-You Para brothers, take the dragon ball from those you took this one from! As for the dragon ball, it is ours Ghart, though when our lord has finished with it… your emperor can have use of them once their use to our lord has ended."
"...Fine then, will hang around. Though will expect fair compensation my little friend."
Bon Para and his brothers Son and Don quickly retreated to their ship, their mission clear now. To secure the other dragon ball for the Cardinal… for their reward.
(Vegeta-POV)
He and Piccolo finished inside the chamber together a few days back where Piccolo went to go learn from the Supreme Kai… Vegeta though had took a long break from training for he had more than earned to do so in his eyes. He left to rest for now and Raven roped him into training everyone of Kron's brats… bar the two that snuck off planet, his own kids and with Piccolo, Goten too. Raven helped too, she and Piccolo had experience with training great apes, which one hundred percent of the brats being trained were so it was quite fascinating to watch, much different to what he and the rest of his pirating race went through to control the urge… or what percentage of their race could.
Nappa, Bardock, his father Vegeta and that Namekian, Nail whom arrived from New Namek to train begun heavily training the Saiyan race on Sadala, with Nail being the strongest by quite a wide margin, and him being able to transform into a giant meant he even made short work of Oozeru warriors trying to beat him, for most of those Saiyan's who were revived were not afraid of killing and most of them had wiped out a planet or three in their past. Why Vegeta went ahead to train the brats at all instead of training himself to new heights, there was but one reason, one that made him gloat to Kakarot when he could see him.
He managed to transform into what Kron had achieved… 'Super Saiyan five' after an intense training regime pushing him over the limits of past limits. He did it within the hyperbolic time chamber, though he was aiming to try and unlock 'Super Saiyan blue' that Kakarot achieved somehow, he instead got that one Kron used which in hindsight, was an achievement in that of itself. Vegeta felt he was getting close to that form though as he kept a great deal of focus of the battle between Kakarot and Beerus and witness their queer energy for himself. That… 'divine' energy was something as of now, beyond his understanding, though he meant as of now for he too would in time, discover how to do so as well. He would continue to try again soon enough in the Hyperbolic time chamber but for now, his intense new transformation, which he now seen why Kron had some difficulties with it, that animalistic fury he felt in that form would be a challenge for him to train out of him, replacing that unchanneled hat with discipline. He would use the room again with someone else or perhaps Piccolo would join him once more, him or Kakarot would do.
'Kakarot also has this form too… though I've earned it through the grit of my teeth where he simply acquired it from that until now unheard of ritual of the ancient Saiyan's…' Vegeta overlooked a couple clones of his, as he stood overlooking the entire training spot somewhere in a desert, he watched the one's down there from the sandy hill he stood on.
The likes of his son Tarble twelve, Vernal seven, Tora six and Échalote four had their own clones of himself, with Raven herself training their youngest daughter. Another clone was overseeing a practice bout, Achilles eleven against Goten eleven further out with the other twin Anthony tagging either one of them out when it was his turn and vice versa. He also had Wylla fifteen and Bulla four training with one last clone, that youngest daughter of Kron's had ample training from her father already though, her mother was currently worried about Trunks sneaking off with that other daughter of Kron's, meant that here he was… Vegeta, the glorified babysitter. Out of all of the brats, Bulla, the four year old daughter of Kron and this generations naturally born Legendary Super Saiyan had a lot of potential for growth.
Vegeta was glad he didn't have to overlook that of the Saiyan's, his people on Sadala, their training for Bardock, his father the former king and Nappa were his representatives in that training montage, he himself being King… sometimes it irked him for he had much more better prospects to keep himself occupied than leading a bunch of weaklings with little potential or work ethic and a hunger for being assigned missions of old, their so-called purging missions to garner power instead of training.
"Hmm? Piccolo, Gohan… Kakarot. You've arrived here." he regarded them, his thoughts keeping him occupied until now so he didn't sense them until now, his arms folded as he turned to them.
"King Kai sent a message to Supreme Kai Shin, it seems to be bad… Though I'm pretty sure we're also about to be getting company as well." Piccolo said with a dry tone, Kakarot adding, the oaf pointed upwards with an serious expression.
"There's a large ship incoming-"
"-Hmph, I see it. I know that symbol… a symbol I had not seen since…" Vegeta was reminded of his past, remembering about a so-called force of patrollers who tried to police the entire galaxy… though with someone like Frieza around, they only could protect the people outside of his sphere of influence… meaning that they were pathetic in comparison to the P.T.O at the time when he was much younger and still under the yoke of that tyrant…
"...They are the galactic patrol, a bunch of outcasts whom believe in justice or such nonsense. I'd heard of their number attempting to put Frieza in his place in one point in the past but were easily beaten back by that bastard… They instead decided to make do and protect others outside of the Cold Empire borders, though they were often too late to help whenever my people were sent off to wipe out another planet outside the borders of the Cold empire. I wonder what these fools want here. Come Kakarot, Piccolo. Will see to greeting these punks, Gohan mind the brats. I'll leave my clones here for now." Gohan nodded, replying with a serious glance.
"Right, sure thing. They might be landing to the east of Baseru city… At least from what I can triangulate." he could be seen fiddling with his scroll, Vegeta nodded though knowing his information meant nothing to Vegeta in the end, as he could arrive to that ship in a heart beat. Raven sent him a glance which he returned. He Kakarot and Piccolo took off.
(????-POV)
Joining up with these galactic patrol fools was his most wisest decision he made, for tracking down the last music box to this world had been only a matter of time for himself. Hoi paced around briskly through the halls of the ship, he was but a 'refugee' to these galactic patrol fools, his appearance showed off to those looking at him, that of a humble elderly man. He changed his face with an illusion, mimicking one of the Yardrat peoples, one of which was on board the ship he and many others were on board at the time when a large group of green skinned, fiery haired warriors begun to lay waste to the planet he at the time, was carefully and meticulously searching for the last prize he needed to make Hirudegarn whole.
'This place… this feeling, I've not felt it's like for eons… this planet houses the last piece!' he grinned at a couple of aliens, a mother and daughter who slept in the compartment in front of him, he sipped on his drink while inwardly… he felt the stirring of his sealed servant…
'I'll have to ditch these fools as soon as we land… not too hard a task for one such as I. soon my servant, you'll be whole once more, and all those lesser races shall be purged in a genocide our people, the Kashvar shall have our greatest triumph realized!'
