Bring Me To Life

[Vegeta]

The prince kept close on tracking the movements of the two powers north of them. Pepper had moved around very little, but the new one had flit around in a broader arc around that area before returning to the girl's location. Hm, if it was hostile, it probably would have attacked her by now and he would be tracking fluctuations in their respective levels. However, it seemed more like they were probably socializing. The Saiyajin growled deeply, he gave her permission to take a break, not a damned vacation.

'Give them an inch and they take a yard...' He thought sourly of trainees. 'Give them a rope, they want to be damned coyboys.'

Speaking of trainees, his previous one who also happened to be his son was quick to join him outside. Vegeta smirked. Good, the boy looked like he was ready for some travel...and possibly a fight. There was no coat though, so he wasn't sure if he had interrupted him in the lab or on some call with a girl. It was likely to be the first one, to his inner dismay. Instead of trying to figure that out as well, he explained to Trunks the situation.

"I think that idiot Pepper might have gotten herself into something though I can't exactly tell what." Figuring his son had probably also picked up on the unfamiliar ki, he continued, "She had gone northeast a little ways then northwest from there towards Yunzabit Heights. That moron's been putzing around out there for well over an hour then out of the blue some new energy popped up. I want you to go find her and find whatever it is she decided to let loose."

It was something of a menial task, which was really why he didn't feel the need to go do it himself albeit he was curious. Still, this would get the boy doing something besides being a techno-geek and little ladies man, he needed some fresh air in his opinion. "Who knows, maybe you'll find something to peak your interest."

[Raditz]

"Hm, and would you have helped me if I said 'I was an alien that came to this planet twenty years ago, kidnapped my nephew, attempted to kill my brother and planned to annihilate everything on this planet but I have a shot at coming back to life so will you help me get out of Hell and live again'?" Raditz had succeeded in pulling out the tasty looking rack of ribs and without much more ado, started to gnaw away the raw meat. He paused to smirk at her, "Cause if someone said that to me, I would have second thoughts on helping them."

Hell, spilling that to her, it might send her running.

Well, no one could say he didn't try to be hospitable at least. At least she had eaten the fruit he had brought her, so she was bound to feel better now. Sitting down, the Saiyajin began to enjoy the first real meal of his second life. Ram was tasty and he could certainly come to enjoy it despite being rather lean meat.

"My girl...I wasn't being mean in the slightest. Being mean would be my blasting you to kingdom come after helping me. Which I didn't do." Not for lack of thinking about it earlier, but she had helped him come back to life and had entombed his old remains so it would have been a gross breech of the life debt he now owed. He grumbled around a rib bone noisily as she went on about friendship and then he blinked.

No way.

He removed his mouth from the bone with some blood smeared around his lips. "Wait...Prince Vegeta? So you know the prince?" The maned Saiyajin smirked. What an impressive string of luck! He returned to feasting, "Excellent, you can lead me to him. Which would in turn give us time to...er, pal around. That's what these friends do, correct?"

[Sansho "Pepper"]

... No, she probably wouldn't have helped him.

The fruit she was biting into suddenly tasted like sand as she stared at him, her thoughts still before beginning to race. She actually physically winced, however, when Kakiri burst into rage. For one frightening second, it felt like Kakiri had grasped control away from her. Somehow, however, she managed to control herself.

"Do me a favor.. Don't mention annihilating everything on the planet, or blowing it up, or doing any damage to it." Poor Pepper said weakly as a dizzy spell washed over her. She was going to pay for it later for all of these struggles against Kakiri. Usually Kakiri never had a problem with people that Pepper actually took an interest in. The duo had never fought over a single person like this before. To distract herself, she quickly focused on her senses like she was being trained. While she wasn't all that good at it yet, she was good enough to get a general idea of his power level. It definitely felt lesser then Mister Vegeta, or even Trunks, but still stronger then most of her people. Actually, it felt fairly close to her own level, if her senses weren't completely crazy.

He might think she would run, but she wasn't going to. Truth be told, Pepper was desperate for friends, in a very sad way. It was rare that anyone would stay around her long after meeting Kakiri, making her cling to the ones that she did have, almost to a fault. If he decided to do all of those bad things again, she would try to stop him, but it would have to be pretty dire for her to go against him. It might put her in a sore spot between her and Mister Vegeta...

And come to think of it, he was right. He hadn't been mean.. She just sighed and finished off the fruit, picking up another. She was so hungry... And she was so late, she probably wouldn't get something to eat now...

His next words caused her to pause. "Huh? ... I do.. Lead you to him? Um. Well. I was planning to do that anyways though it'll be a bit weird taking a person back instead of a puppy..." She laughed sheepishly. "And... I think so... I'm pretty sure that's what friends do." It had been so long since she had had one that she was hardpressed to remember.

"Um. Speaking of which... I'm probably gonna have to fly slower with you, huh?" She didn't know who his brother was, or his nephew, but she didn't want anyone hurting him... or him getting lost. She had momentarily forgotten that he might be able to sense her and follow her that way.

[Trunks]

Trunks was definitely unsure what exactly his father wanted. He shifted slightly as he waited, really hoping it was a good reason he was pulled away from finishing up his new invention. Even Vegeta would have a hard time disliking his newest creation. He listened quietly as his father explained what was going on as far as he knew.

So it really wasn't anything that important. Except for the new energy that popped up. Vegeta seemed to recognize it, but he wasn't giving any clues to his son as to who or what it was and that bugged Trunks a little bit. He didn't let it get to him however, and shrugged at his father. "I've got nothing better to do."

The demi-Saiyan smirked down at his dad when he added on the last part. There wasn't much that peaked his interest lately, but there was always the off chance. Besides, he'd already seen Pepper half naked while training so there wasn't a whole lot to find there. Oh well.

"Yunzabit Heights, got it. I'll bring her back." Trunks gave Vegeta a two fingered salute before shooting off in the direction of said location. It wasn't that far away if he flew fast enough, and he could fly pretty fast for not training very often. The world streaked by as he flew like a bullet, keeping his ki relatively low as he did so.

He made it to the location of the giant dead tree within record time, landing a a few yards away from the two energies he sensed. Trunks could hear a distinctly male voice speaking to Pepper and he frowned. He definitely did not recognize the ki coming from beside her, nor the voice. The teen went on the defensive and maintained his supressed ki.

"Pepper?" Trunks called out as he walked towards the pair. He wore a relaxed smile and kept a relatively calm air about himself. There was benefits to always being laid back. However, he tensed very slightly upon hearing the rest of the conversation. Annihilation? Oh this was so not good.

"There you are. You've been gone a while, so I came looking." He forced himself to remain calm, ignoring the fact that a - oh dear god this new guy was a Saiyan. And not watered down either. He was a full blood Saiyan. Well this officially was the worst fetching request ever. "Pepper, c'mon, let's go home."

Trunks kept his eyes on the shaggy haired Saiyajin, even though he was talking to Pepper. This was so not going to be pretty. He could take the man in a fight, but he didn't know who he was in the first place.

[/size][/blockquote]

[Raditz]

"Hn, what? Does such talk unnerve you? I wonder how you feel towards the prince then, since he did that for a job." Raditz was unaware exactly what Pepper was to Vegeta, but he figured she must be on some personal level with him if she were receiving training from the man himself. So she knew that, right? He moved on from the ribs to the heart which he ate with relish until he choked on it a little at her last words.

"You'll fly slower if I plant my foot in your ass, don't assume I would not be able to keep up!" His hair bristled up a little, if that were possible. Was he going to get babied here on this mudball too? There was just no end to his humiliation. His tail uncoild from around his waist and slapped at the ground, further highlighting his irritation.

Said tail shot up and went stiff like a small furry rod as they were intruded upon by another, a clear indicator that he had never mastered the art of ki detection. Like you needed it in Hell? Most of the denizens were too noisy to not miss. Raditz growled warily and got up to sit on one knee before turning his head to see the lavender haired boy approach. He lowered his head, eyeing Trunks in return before he leaned back.

'Wait...This is...The prince's son if I'm not mistaken? Huh, she must be close to him if he sends his own whelp to fetch her.'

"Now hold on just a second..." The newly revived Saiyajin climbed to his feet. He wasn't certain to what degree the boy expected some manner of respect, but he was royalty. Idly, he scratched his cheek, trying to determine what manner of title the son of the prince would have. Technically Vegeta was a king now, but he had no coronation. Others might argue that Tarble was king since his elder brother had died once (or twice) but no self respecting Saiyajin would view someone like Tarble in such regard. Royal titles aside..."With all due respect, ah sire, we're not entirely prepared for departure. There are a few items I have to retrieve from the lab on the ship before we do that."

Raditz jerked his thumb over to the open side leading into his uncle's ship. He wanted to secure the Extract Tank and possible a rejuvenation tank somehow but then again, he wasn't sure he wanted to make the lengthy trip back. He also wanted a scouter so he could keep instances like Trunks sneaking up on him to a minimum. He shot the remainder of the ram a look, wanting to finish but he would rather avoid making the prince's son wait.

"You can come with and look around if you're interested, but it reeks in there..." The Saiyajin shrugged, putting the invitation out there so they would not be left entirely unoccupied as he went back over to the ship and climbed back in, disappearing into the darkness inside the ship. He doubted Pepper would take off without him, if her attitude was any indicator but either way he didn't really care. It would not be hard to find them later on with a scouter and besides...He doubted they wanted a Saiyajin to run about unchecked.

[Sansho "Pepper"]

Like Raditz, Pepper was rather taken surprised by Trunks' sudden appearance. She was learning how to sense ki, true, but suppressed ki still gave her some trouble at times.

Of course, that was in the next moment. She blinked at Raditz, in shock and innocent confusion. To her, that was grossly unfair of him. Then again, he didn't know that she came from a race that specialized in speed. She opened her mouth to try to explain it to him, just a bit sulky, when Trunks' voice caused her to whirl her head. She jumped, realizing she was in for it deep if Vegeta was sending Trunks after her, and gave him a bright smile.

"Hi Trunks!" She piped, waving to him before looking down at herself. "Home sounds good.. I need a shower, bad." Pepper wrinkled her nose at him before looking at Raditz again. It was clear by her stance that she had no fear of him, though she was still just a bit sulky. Then again, Trunks had probably learned that Pepper in her Wuko incarnation was the most innocent fucking person ever.

"Radish? I didn't mean to say you were slow... it's just... Well. You'll find out." Glancing at Trunks, she shrugged before giving him a bit of a sheepish smile. The lavender-haired princeling knew how fast she could, and she hadn't even told Trunks what she was. In fact, she hadn't told any of them what she was, though she wasn't sure if Vegeta had told that to Bulma. She was content to let them think she was just a pointy-eared human, though her ki style was different then most humans. The last thing she wanted was to get in trouble for too many people heading to the Spice Colony and saying that she was the one that told them where to go, even if she went by an alias now.

Watching Raditz go back in now, she fell back into a sitting position, determined to finish the fruit now that she knew she was going to get her ass handed to her by Mister Vegeta.

[Trunks]

He had no idea that the other Saiyan couldn't read power levels without a scouter, and maintained a low level to avoid detection. Trunks casually put his hands in his pockets, the perfect picture of being laid back while keeping an eye on the stranger's every move. The teenager didn't so much as flinch as the taller male stood up from his partial kneel and merely leveled his gaze on him. As a child he had gained much of his father's attitude and still contained the mixture of arrogance and pride when it came to just about anyone.

Trunks hesitated, already able to smell the stench that laid within from Pepper and the stranger. He was bound to get a lecture from his dad if he didn't follow him just in case he grabbed something 'dangerous'. Blue eyes narrowed very slightly at the taller man, definitely having no trust in him. Finally he raised a shoulder and dropped it in a shrug. If the stranger did bring out something harmful, then he could always destroy it. There was no chance that he was letting Pepper's new 'friend' run about without supervision later.

"Just hurry it up." Trunks followed the stranger with his eyes before his attention shifted to Pepper as she gave him a sheepish smile and he took a hand out of his pockets to rub the back of his neck while thinking. A grin came across his face after the stranger had entered the destroyed ship and he rested his hand on his neck.

"Listen. You're cute, and I love it when you're dirty, but seriously, what the hell did you do?" Trunks raised an eyebrow at the shorter fighter, wondering how she managed to come across a Saiyajin. Everyone was supposed to be dead besides the ones apart of the Z-fighters, and his uncle Tarble. Maybe a couple more. But really everyone else was dead. He dropped his hand to hand by his side while he watched the entrance for any sign of movement. Well, he had enjoyed the peace while it lasted.

[/size][/blockquote]

[Raditz]

"It's Raditz! Not Radish!" Raditz grunted at being told to hurry it up and just for that he took his sweet fucking time.

"Tell me to hurry it up, damned brat..." The long haired Saiyajin completely passed through Turles's quarters and down the hall. Before entering the lab once again, he retrieved a blue tinted scouter from the armaments storage room and adjusted his senses for breathing through his mouth and blocking scent and taste before he stepped back into the cesspool.

The first thing he did was make a beeline for the Extract Tank. Crouching down, Raditz opened the bottom drawers to search through the contents. He was amazed at the number and variety of plant seeds from what he could only assume was from across the universe. Some of the seeds were of Vegetasei variety. They were dried out, yet nicely preserved and he was sure with some work he could revive them. His tail flicked out behind him as he daydreamed for a moment. That would be nice...Stake claim to a small pocket of land on this somewhat decent mudball and make a little paradise away from home. Well, fuck, he was going to do that, why the hell not?!

Saibamen seeds...No, he wasn't dealing with those little creeps again. Ever.

Raditz removed all the seedling samples that had belonged to Vegetasei and pocketed them. Another container caught his attention and he took that as well. Seeds for the Tree of Might. He eyed the short yet wide bottle and figured there had to be a couple dozen seeds in there. He wasn't entirely sure on what he was going to do with them, if not study then possibly destroy, but it was best he keep them on hand in case Turles had the idiotic nerve to plant another Tree. After retrieving all the flora samples he could occupy himself with, he eyed the lab critically. "Hmm...Hmm..." The uncertain druid drummed his fingers as he tried to figure out what else could be salvaged. Besides the healing tanks and the one before him, there didn't seem to be much left.

'Well...I'll come back later on. This place hasn't been touched for a good twenty-two years, I doubt it's going anywhere in a few days.' Leaving the lab, he started on his way back out though he lingered in Turles's room. There had to be something of cultural worth to bring back to the prince...He blinked at the table in the far corner. Raditz stepped over and snatched up the sizable little statue. Namely, it was one of the king, his chin jutting out and nose in the air with his arms folded, dressed in the regal attire he most likely had also died in. While he wasn't certain what manner of metal it was made from, the tarnishing of dust and age made that difficult to tell, it would certainly drop the prince's jaw. Holding the figure about the waist, Raditz climbed back out of the ship and managed to breath somewhat clean air again. "And ready."

[Shio Alabasta]

Another it seemed had joined the party but by that time, Shio was tired of waiting for them to move from the gravesite.

With a scowl, the silvery Ikikesan propelled herself from the cliff's edge and she soared through the air in a heroic leap. The distance between them was closed in no time and when Shio landed, she landed with some gusto.

Enough to create a small crater no less.

The figure that had joined the trio climbed from the small dip in the ground. She had discarded her cloak, so she stood before them with the majority of her alabaster skin showing. Her extensively long, silver locks swished back and forth as she drew near the group and she eyed each one critically.

The two men, they were no concern of hers, though the one with the lavender hair was kind of cute in a clean, civilized way. The other one was rather good looking too, in a scruffy, almost feral way. They were certainly two opposites on the scales, but she found them both appealing in their particular ways. Her smokey colored eyes stared at Trunks, then Raditz before they drifted to the other Ikikesan.

Pepper looked vaguely familiar but Shio could care less whether she had been her best friend or her nemesis from Spice colony. All she wanted were some damned answers. At least the girl looked innocent enought, still, she was not going to let her guard down should the other decide to pull something. Unlike Pepper, she was not above or disturbed with severely hurting someone.

"You, the other Ikikesan...I demand to know whether you or the others are aware of a means to fixing this damned malady I have." With a hand on her hip, she pointed at Pepper as she turned to her fully and put her back to the men. "And before you even entertain the idea, I will not be going back to the colony unless that is without a doubt the only place to find the cure. And even if I were to go back, don't think that I won't kill anyone and everyone who tries to make me marry that fool Mustado, because I won't have it."

[Sansho "Pepper"]

One of the best things about Pepper was how oblivious she was. Trunk's flirting went straight over her head as she stared at him blankly before looking down at herself. She flinched when the mental slap came and looked back up at him, blinking again.

"... I helped a puppy." Pepper spread her hands and shrugged. It really was the only explanation she could give, because she had no idea what she had done eithe-

GreatMotherGaiaWHATWASTHAT?!

Poor Pepper had jumped, the fruit in her hand flying in the air as she reached for the staff that wasn't there, staring at the crater as she reached for her ki, ready to attack.. Whatever it was.

What she wasn't expecting was another Ikikesan. Her spine stiffened as she stared at her, ready to launch into the air and flee as fast as she could-

.. Wait, what?

Pepper actually relaxed a bit as she stared at her, puzzled. ".. Malady? I.. don't know what that is..." The girl blinked, even as she ran the woman's other words in her mind.

She's not from the colony! I don't have to go back!

.. Joy. Another runaway.

"And.. um... I'm not going to make anyone go anywhere. Cause then they'd make me go back... Wait. What would they have a cure fo-... Okay. I know I'm a runaway too, but I wouldn't let you kill anyone. You're a bad person. What were we talking about?"

Poor Pepper looked so confused.

[Trunks]

Besides the new Saiyajin, Trunks really couldn't see anything interesting in running this particular errand for his father. Well, that was a lie. He was on edge somewhat, wondering how the hell there was another full blood Saiyajin alive and well. According to his dad, their planet was destroyed along with anyone that wasn't on planet Earth. There were the occasional few that managed to be off-planet at the time, but it was rare.

He chuckled as his obvious flirt went ignored with a blank look. An eyebrow went up slightly at her response. "A puppy? If you say so." Trunks gave a half smile at the shorter figure before watching as the taller man exited the broken down structure. The partial smile remained, not too worried about him but still quite careful.

"Let's go then." Trunks turned to set off into the air only to pause upon seeing a new female appear. Well, hello gorgeous. He momentarily 'forgot' about the extra Saiyajin behind him as the silver-haired woman demanded answers that weren't going to come from him.

"Ikikesan?" He turned his head towards Pepper, confused as to what the new chick was talking about. Trunks' eyebrow rose up again, absolutely lost as to what exactly the new woman was talking about. Pepper had yet to explain what race she was exactly, but the other woman gave a bit of insight. However, he didn't remember hearing about the Ikikesan, and if he had than it wasn't anything he paid much attention to.

"O-kay. How about we start with names and go from there. I'm Trunks, you are?" He gave one of his charming smiles as he spoke to the pretty silver-haired woman. Trunks enjoyed being a flirt, no matter what disposition the women he flirted with had.

[/size][/blockquote]

[Shio Alabasta]

Shio stared at Pepper.

What the crap...? She would have asked if this was some idiotic joke but...

"Oh yes, you moron, I am such a terrible person for protecting my virtue. Maybe you'd lie back and let whoever do whatever they please to you, but I'm not particularly fond of the idea. What are you...five?" Her brow twitched. Well, technically, she should not be making such assumptions, but really...Pepper's confused babbling had not made a very good impression on her. The full blooded Saiyajin shook his head as he stood to the side, arms folded and watching the encounter with vague curiosity. She continued to her colony sister, "I prefer to live free, and I won't let anyone jeopardize that...Since you're a runaway too, I wpuld figure you might understand. But I guess not."

Another runaway, eh? That made her laugh. It should have been an indicator to their people that their ways were a little extreme if they had a couple of females taking off and running rampant miles away from the colony's protection. She wondered how many of the guard might be searching the world now, trying to bring back to loose birds. But in any case, a runaway was useless to her. "I've no need of you..."

Looking away from Pepper and thus entirely dismissing her whole existence now, she turned to frown at Trunks. "Yes, Ikikesan. It's a long story...And I am Shio Alabasta." Raditz blinked, looking shocked at the mention of the race which he had initially missed since he had not been paying attention to the whole conversation. But now he was. He grunted to himself. Shio missed his surprise as she fumed. She chewed her lip, angry that she had spent the time and energy to come out here for nothing. The girl she had been hopeful on was completely useless to her after all. If she weren't as vaguely forgiving as she was, she would possibly kill her just for being an idiot.

"I followed the idiot thinking she might know how to fix my condition or if someone in the village would know...I have seizures now and then and I believe it has to do with some weird distortion in my connection to the Earth that happened some ten years ago. They are bothersome and I want them gone." Normally, she would not divulge to anyone her problem, but Suto-mu had told her humans were quite inventive...and if she ever did return to the colony and they failed to help her, then perhaps the humans somewhere in their cities of stone and metal might. And since one was right here, introducing himself...At least she wouldn't have to go hunting for one.

She held her elbow as she rubbed her chin with her other hand. Trunks didn't seem all that threatening and she could readily tell he seemed to have interest in her. That was quite amusing. It was possible that said interest may work in her favor, provided he knew how to help her somehow. "Suto-mu said humans have made great strides in their learned ways...Perhaps you would know a way to remedy these fits I have? Or be able to find a way?"

(Including my Raditz post in there since I can't think of much to do with him on his own.)

[Sansho "Pepper"]

Well. On the list of things she didn't want to talk to people about, her race was pretty high on the list, right under her own mental disability.

A telltale headache was forming, one that she knew all too well. Part of her mind was getting annoyed. Actually, part of her mind was getting downright pissy at the attitude this other Ikikesan was giving her. Who did she think she was? Maybe she ran away from home, and her duties, but she still was one of the strongest, if not the strongest Ikikesan around, and the fastest. Before she knew what had happened, her body had tensed, her head falling forward just a bit.

Then, her fists clenched and her head lifted. Her bright green eyes were a much darker shade, and they were pissed. Even her posture was different, as though she were a completely different person.

Which, in fact, she was.

"It doesn't concern you, boy." Pepper snapped at Trunks without even looking at him, her eyes flashing at the mention of a decade or so ago. The knowledge of what had happened just pissed her off to no end. Her eyes stayed on Shio's alabastor form. Had she been a saiyajin with a tail, it would have been lashing.

"You're not the only one suffering a malady, Shio Alabasta." She spoke rather coldly, gazing at her unflinchingly. "I could bet you all the desert gems of Spice that a good portion, if not all, of us suffer from some way. It's not just some special little treat only targetting you." Maybe she was being rash, unfair, and lashing out without any real cause, but... This was the side of Pepper that had very little rational thought, and favored violence as a means to every end. Plus, the woman's arrogant attitude just pissed her off.

... Everything pissed her off, actually, but who was counting?

"Go to a human hospital and have those twerps help you. We have to go." Turning, she fixed green eyes on Raditz and Trunks, knowing that her sweeter side would be apologizing to no end later on. "Raditz. Trunks. Let's go. We got what we came for and I fucking hate it here. This place is a diseased place that needs to be burned to the ground." Pepper snarled.

[Trunks]

"Let's not use name calling. Nice to meet you, Shio. I wish I could help, but I'm no good with that." He shifted back away from the general group, feeling the hostility radiating off of the two Ikikesan. Trunks didn't lie often, but a little white lie didn't hurt anyone...much. It wasn't his fault that he was already bringing home one stranger, he didn't need two of them.

Well wasn't this just a perfect day. Trunks looked back and forth between the two females before raising his hands as Pepper decided to take a stroll down PMS boulevard and take a turn at Go-Fuck-Yourself avenue. Awesome. "Hey, it was just a question." Lowering his hands, his eyes flickered to Pepper and settled on her seething form. Trunks quickly decided that now was definitely not a good time to tell her to chill her shit and held in his smark remarks.

"Yeah...sorry about that. Nice meeting you." Trunks lifted off the ground slightly, wanting nothing more than to get back home away from conflict as much as possible. Sure he loved a good fight, especially a good cat fight, but Pepper in a foul mood was worse than his father just for the fact that he knew better than to get in the way of an angry woman. "I'll just go on ahead and let dad know we have a guest."

Trunks looked at Radditz and sighed, he had no idea how his dad was going to react. Hopefully he didn't go 'rawr I'mma take over the planet' style with another Saiyan on Earth. But whatever. "See you at home." He nodded at the group before lifting high into the sky to fly home as fast as possible. Which for Trunks, was pretty damn fast.

Upon landing at home he calmly walked over to his dad, betraying nothing other than a small half smile. "Hey dad, so...Pepper's on her way home. We kinda have a guest coming with her annd I'll let her explain that one." Trunks placed his hands in his pockets as he looked to the sky for two people instead of one.

[/color][/blockquote]

[Raditz]

"Why do you think I figured to ask you, moron? I didn't say I thought I was the only one. I just don't care whether others are suffering from it or not." Shio's grey eyes narrowed at Pepper before she once more deigned to blot her existence out of her mind. When Trunks answered her, she rolled her eyes with disgust. This was why she hated people. They were only useful when they had something to gain. "Useless, all of you." With that, she jumped away, clearing a good distance before she disappeared back among the rock.

Raditz had sat back and watched until it was clear that it was time to be off. "Ikikesans, huh...Who would have thought..." He muttered to himself, rather surprised. Memories flickered in the back of his mind, but he avoided dwelling too much on it. That was in the past, and the girl was likely to be unaware of what happened back then. She certainly didn't seem old enough to have been involved at least, and it was debatable if her people had passed the knowledge on. Most races didn't like remembering their near miss with extinction.

His attention shifted when he noticed he was being looked at and he wondered what was on the kid's mind. Then he was off at an impressive speed. Perhaps the girls had scared him off.

"Hn. Sure." His dark eyes surveyed the site one last time before he took to the air slowly. Sure, the area needed something done, but he was not entirely agreeable about burning it away. For many reasons anyway.

The long haired Saiyajin turned his attention to Pepper who he eyed curiously. Her change in demeanor was unusual. It was a complete opposite to what he had dealt with before and he was under the impression that he might have to be wary around that side of her. "Interesting reaction to someone of your race seeking help. Albeit she wasn't exactly humble about asking." The overgrown monkey snickered at her before tapping on his scouter to get some readings. Trunks seemed to be heading towards the south, so that was the direction he would start heading in too, though at a more leisurely pace. He wasn't exactly in any hurry.
