Playing Catch-up
Yogu's PL: 90,214
Well, it was official. Yogu was back in the world of the living for just a few days and was already bored. He didn't want to see his parents, and judging by what his grandfather said in their "conversation"; they didn't want to see him either. So for the past couple of days, he had slept at a hotel. But, instead of staying cramped in the small hotel room he bought with the change he had found in his pocket, he decided to walk around the quiet town. While walking, he came upon a news broadcast playing on some display TVs. It seemed quite boring to Yogu, so he started to wander away. "Maybe I should find somewhere to eat- WHAT?!"
Yogu runs back to the display, pushing his face up against the window. "-It's been several weeks since the President's unfortunate passing, and many people have already announced that they'll be running for the position. One of the more notable being Carro Hofferson, the current CEO of Crop Corporation-" Yogu tuned out after that, he wasn't quite a fan of politics. What had surprised him was that the President was dead! "When did that happen?! Weeks ago? ... That's weird. Wouldn't I have seen him in Heaven?" Yogu pushes the thought from his mind and continues to stroll down the street. After walking a couple more steps, Yogu comes to a realization. "Man, if I didn't know about the president dying, who knows what else I missed! I'm gonna need to start playing catch up. Maybe that way I'll figure out where the Stargoons ran off to! Someone MUST know where they went..."

Unfortunately for Yogu, Blanc was not that someone. Having spent most of his time off mastering the art of magic inside a mountain, Blanc was almost just as clueless as Yogu was.
He couldn't help but notice Yogu though as he strolled through the now liberated city, Blanc's magical senses picking up some kind of strangeness surrounding the resurrected warrior. ". . . That guy right there . . . doesn't he seem kind of strange" Blanc muttered over to his floating companion, Ashi, a ghost who was presently busy messing around with random everyday citizens. "Hm?" Ashi responded, her stub-like arms rapidly shuffling through a nearby mans afro, causing him great confusion.
"That dude? . . . Yeah, you're right. He does seem pretty dang strange; I mean, who willingly does that to their hair?" Ashi chortled, before floating daintily back over to Blanc's shoulder.
". . . I agree with you completely Ashi . . . but that's not what I meant" Blanc sighed, continuing- ". . . Its just . . . he feels like . . . I dunno, maybe I'm just imagining it- But he kinda reminds me of a ghost" Blanc explained, Ashi simply nodding her head in agreement. A long silence followed, broken only by Ashi's bluntness. "Well are ya stupid or something? Look at him, he's a baby boy . . . Maybe all that steam from the furnace is finally getting to your head" She chastised, garnering a look of embarrassment from Blanc. "Oh shut up . . ." he replied meekly, before turning his attention back over to Yogu, who had begun to walk further away.
". . . Well, regardless, he seemed to be troubled by something . . . So how about we go and give him our greetings" Blanc proposed, before walking off regardless, not giving Ashi a say in the matter.
Using a bit of magic, Blanc snapped his fingers and suddenly poofed up in front of Yogu, a cloud of smoke enveloping him and the place where he had stood previously. Immediately, he let out a booming yell-
"HIYA!!!!!!! HOW YA DOIN SIR? . . . Penny for your thoughts?" |

The city was back to normal and Thaw made it his duty to protect it from potential threats. He stood on top of a roof top of a massive scale building with his arms folded across his chest. The once ruined city appeared to look like it had never been destroyed. Looking to his left, he saw cars driving by, to his right, he saw a traffic jam and families walking across the street. This was indeed peaceful times for this city and the planet itself. In times of light, there is also those who hide among the good in plain sight. The truth is, the city was saved and repaired. The people who didn't get a job soon after the repairs were truly the victims of unfortunate circumstances and in order to survive, they had to steal for it.
It didn't take long for criminals to show their faces no matter what day it was or the time. A glass window frame was broken with bats, large television screens and other electronics such as laptops and other valued items were now being stolen by a group of five individuals. Store employees and others started to fear for their lives and stayed put. The criminals quickly stored the goods in their van and drove away at an alarming pace. Being not concern of civilians, all they wanted to do was escape the scenery and back to their hideout. The car was then stopped with Thaw appearing in front of the oncoming car and pressing his hand against it. The car halted in its tracks and caused two out of the five passengers to fly out of the car and into the empty street. Their injuries were severe enough to cause them to not get up and retaliate. The other three on the other hand exited the car with their bats in hand and they all were quickly subdued by Thaw in a matter of seconds. Soon after the cops showed up along with the ambulance and the five were taken into custody and the stolen goods were now returned.
Thaw felt proud in protecting the city and continued to walk down the street as he came across two individuals.
"Hello there."

PLAYING CATCH-UP
CARRO'S PL: 50 | TIANUM'S PL: 7,000 | COLA'S PL: LOW ENOUGH
Tianum grimaced as Carro dragged himself out of a nearby salon, scratches and a few hairs of cut, black fur dotting his form. In his arms sat a now content black cat, curled up in a ball and snoring softly like nothing happened. The feline's claws were still dug into Carro's sleeves. "Oooh... The usual?" Cola- Carro's cat- wasn't the biggest fan of baths or haircuts. At home it wasn't too bad, but when Carro had to bring the cat to get his nails trimmed... "Well, he won't be scratching me any more for awhile." The CEO forced himself upright. When Tianum offered him a few wipes to clean off his face, the cat owner gladly agreed to it.
A few remaining red marks from the scratches remained on Carro's face as he rubbed one of the more notable red marks, as if that would make it stop stinging. Cola had now meandered around the saiyan's neck and shoulders, half-asleep. They'd finished up their errands in Satan City- some last remaining repairs downtown were cleaned up, and Carro got some more food and toys for the feline resting atop him. "Man. I still can't believe this place is so cleaned up already! Just a week ago it was a mess." Sure, it seemed the ruler of Badman City had some standards. When they found it, the city was in decently mint condition- it just... messed with peoples' heads. Carro nodded along in agreement.
It wasn't long before the two rounded a corner. Smoke could be seen rising from afar from a wrecked vehicle, and an ambulance blitzed down the road as well. Nearby, the saiyan spotted two humans and... "Ugh." Right, those Arcosians were still lording as some "heroes" over the city's defense. Thaw was... a wild card, given his behavior before. He went from sporting bloodshot eyes and brandishing what was essentially a knife to patting Carro on the back for talking everyone down with words. What side of him would they see today?
"Jeez, traffic's already getting rough." Tianum commented while Carro's attention was trained on the three nearby. "...I think I remember a little from Mom's police lessons. She was recently promoted to a chief in the police, you know!" Tianum's mom was a nice woman. Carro never met her, but Tia's stories about her got the point that she was pretty rough sometimes. "I'll go direct traffic for a bit. Keep Cola from running off without me, alright?"
"A'ight, cool." Carro saluted to his friend as she flew off, soaring past Yogu, Blanc, and Thaw and raising two small rods of bright, icy ki to help control the traffic about the scene. Now, all Carro had to do was wait this out with Cola, and...
"Mrow." A purr resounded behind Blanc's legs. "NOOOOOOOOO--!!" While Carro tried to push his way through the busy sidewalks, Cola would sniff the human's form. After a moment, the cat settled on gripping onto his pants the best he could with his trimmed claws, and if he wasn't stopped in a few brisk motions with the fluency only a cat could manage, the feline would perch himself atop the human's head with a yawn, flopping over and closing his eyes. Getting him off if he made it atop Blanc would be a trouble- once a cat got situated, it was very hard to get them to move- especially Cola.
Finally pushing through the crowd in a sweat, Carro would hastily breathe in. He barely noticed Thaw anymore in his panic over his pet's misbehavior. "I-I'm SO sorry, I swear. I take my eyes off you for one second, and..." He spoke to his cat at the end, sighing. "H-he just got a, uh, bath, so he's preeeetty grumpy with me right now, I guess." Cola opened one eye to glare at Carro. The saiyan shot Cola a scowl right back, but the latter merely closed his eyes again and stuck out his tongue... "...Oh, come on."

Yogu continued to walk, minding his own business. When suddenly, some kid came out of nowhere and screamed. " AHH! PLEASE DON'T HURT ME I DON'T HAVE ANY ZENI!" After a few seconds, he calms down and remembers he's probably one of the strongest people on the planet. And that this child was asking what was on his mind. " Uh... Well, ya see I... How do I put this? I've been de-" Then, an Arcosian showed up! Yogu immediately tenses up, he hadn't seen an arcosian in a while, and the only arcosian he's met that hasn't attacked him on sight was Ledinjin. " H-Hi there Mr. Arcosian sir..." Yogu got even more nervous when he sensed the Arcosian. " That guy is that strong just in his base form?!" He turns back to the child, intent on finishing up their discussion quickly. " Where was I...? Oh yeah, so as I was saying, I di-" Then, a cat came out of nowhere, followed by screaming. Were all conversations on earth so interrupty? It had been a while since he had a conversation with someone who wasn't a godly being or dead. The cat looked like it was trying to climb up the kid? This certainly was a weird cat. Coming from the sea of people walking around the city was a short, orange-haired saiyan. He looked sort of weird, his tail was almost as long as the rest of his body! He ran up and profusely apologized to the kid. It was hard to not laugh at the Saiyan and the Cat's back and forth. When Yogu got a closer look at the Saiyan, he had a weird feeling. Like he had seen them somewhere before... " Hey, orange haired guy! Who are you...?" Yogu didn't wait for an answer and turns back to the child. " Alright, I'll finish what I'm saying if no one else is coming to interrupt?" He pauses and looks around for any weird characters that might be marching up to join the conversation. " Okay! So, I died a couple months back when this place was getting destroyed. Then my friend- who's a Shinjin- said he was going to revive me with Dragonballs, and poof! I'm here. So I'm a little behind on more recent events. Since, ya know, I've been dead for a few months. So what was this about the president being dead? And what happened to the Stargoons? And what about-" Yogu continued to mumble, mostly to himself.

Blanc waited eagerly for the man's reply, This was the first time since he'd secluded himself in Mount five element that he'd be able to help people (Now without the side benefit of getting beat up by a bunch of thugs). However, every time the man had attempted to speak, some sort of distraction emerged. There was some strange alien that appeared, shortly followed by some sirens, and then a cat flung itself onto Blanc's leg, attempting to climb up his body for whatever reason, followed by its owner, who was screaming. "Don't worry about it" Blanc responded, the cat slowly making its way up Blanc's chest, before very abruptly pulling on Blanc's long hair. ". . . Ok . . . no . . . Bad kitty" Blanc muttered, trying to stop the cat's insistent tugging as it tried to climb further up. Eventually, Blanc got fed up with the cat and held out his hand. A spray bottle appeared out of thin air and in Blanc's hand, Which was then subsequently used to shoo the cat off of Blanc's body. * SPRAY SPRAY SPRAY* Using his rapid-fire spray bottle, The cat quickly lept off of Blanc's torso, letting out some hisses as it landed. "Yeah yeah, hiss all you want ya little jerk. Touch my hair again and I'll have ta give ya a second bath" Blanc threatened, pointing the spray bottle at the cat once more before letting up and turning his attention back to Yogu, The bottle disappearing into thin air. Blanc was shocked to hear what came next though. "You were dead?!" Blanc exclaimed, realizing why the man had reminded him so much of the undead moments earlier. "That explains it . . ." Blanc mumbled, turning his attention over to Ashi so as to hear her feedback on the matter. She, however, seemed to be more preoccupied with cuddling the cat, taking advantage of the fact that she can't be seen by normal people and/or animals. He'd let out another sigh in response to her actions, but then returned once more to the conversation at hand. "So you want somebody to catch you up on the events of the past few months huh?" Blanc asked, now somewhat dejected that he couldn't really help Yogu out. "Welp. . . you've got me there pal; I've been stuck training in a mountain for the past few months. I sort of need somebody to help me with that as well. . ." Blanc explained, before tilting his head in confusion. "Wait. . . when did the president die? and what are Stargoons?" Blanc asked, his curiosity slightly piqued now. ". . . Well, putting my thoughts aside- maybe one of these two fine fellows know more about what happened than I do" Blanc said, gesturing over to Thaw and Carro-
"Shall we ask them?"

Entering their conversation and before he could reply back, Carro had showed up. He hadn't seen Carro since their last encounter and smiled.
"I have been protecting this city since it just got reconstructed. We of the FPR are taking the necessary steps in not only protecting this city but others, along with the entire planet of course. I hope we don't have any bad blood between us Carro?"
He extended his hand to shake his if he would allow it. Then another conversation started and Thaw would be the first to speak up.
"Well not much has happened, but we did revive this city from their threats and with my team and myself, its being watched."
The truth is, he didn't know these folk and the last thing that he wanted to reveal to them was that the leader of the WTF Boreal, was indeed dead.

CARRO'S PL: 50 | TIANUM'S PL: 7,000
Cola turned up his nose yet again, climbing and perching himself atop Carro's head instead. He preferred to be tall and sit on someone bigger, but he could make do with the saiyan. "...And you're never leaving my sight for the rest of the day, mister." Carro scolded his cat before sighing. "I-I'm really sorry again. Cola's a good cat usually. He's just..." A tug snapped Carro out of his thoughts as the feline on his head tugged at his orange locks. "... Well, he's a cat."
Thaw spoke again, and Carro found his eye minutely twitching- if only for a split second. Still, he put on a grin and took the lizard man's hand. "Eh. It's no biggie." He lied. Yogu asked him for an introduction, though, so he couldn't keep his attention on Thaw for long. "I'm Carro Hofferson. CEO of Crop Co." He introduced himself with a nod. Still, he'd let the kid go on afterwards, yawning wide. But only a few words into Yogu's spiel, Carro found himself choking on his own breath. Sputtering for a moment, he'd go wide-eyed and gawk at the human. "You WHAT now?!?" He DIED? But the kid was right here, in the flesh! Still, he let Yogu go on, taking a moment to calm himself down. A memory briefly flashed- Ramen's transmission from Namek and claims to restore Badman's dead with their Dragon Balls. "Wow. I guess the guys on Namek must have done it!" It was hard to believe a being of power existed that could just revive dead folks with a snap of a finger...
Knowing that made him grow paler for a moment, his grip on the parcel around his torso tightening. He held a key to that power here on Earth- a two Dragon Balls of his own. Being reminded of the strength the Eternal Dragons held was never fun.
"...But, uh, yes. I've been around, so I think I can give you a few details." Carro cleared his throat. "Well, first things first, we purified the city, as you can see. It was... easier than I expected, somehow. But..." He briefly glanced back to Thaw... Perhaps that detail was best left out until prying ears were away. "The President had an... accident, of course, and now myself and a few others seem fit for the position." Raising a hand, he began to list of several more events. "Some crazy saiyan- mind controlled, apparently- attacked my headquarters, and the Saiyans and the Fleet were having at it looking for Planet Namek's Dragon Balls. But, given the fact you're here, it looks like the Kingdom got their wish."
"I'm not entirely sure what a Stargoon is, though. No info on my end in that department." The term sounded somewhat familiar, though. There was also the fact that the Earth's own Dragon Balls were active, but... A bead of sweat swept down his face. Nope, now was not a good time to touch on that subject with these randoms. Still, his mind began to wander. Yogu died in Satan City, and he was back. So did that also mean... "Also, a question of my own."
"You wouldn't happen to have seen a grumpy purple dragon dude, would you? He has... some anger issues and yells a lot. Orange hair that doesn't looked brushed, rough scales..." He described. "I ask because, well, he's one of my employees, annnnd..." Carro clicked his tongue, leaving his sentence unfinished.

Some more shenanigans with the cat ensued, involving a spray bottle and more hissing and shouting. It was a struggle to not burst out laughing at the cat. Once the cat calmed down, the Arcosian spoke to the short Saiyan. The Arcosian was getting on Yogu's nerves. Apparently, he and this Carro guy had some sort of bad past. But that wasn't what he was getting angry about. The recently revived teenager decided it'd be best to not start anything in the middle of a city. It seemed like Yogu's assumption was right. The short orange-haired saiyan was the CEO of Crop Co. Yogu was glad he at least understood something about recent world events, although that was trumped by surprise and confusion at the fact the guy had no clue about any recent events either. " How long were you training?!" What surprised him even more was that the guy was surprised that Yogu had died before. Was it really that weird? Apparently, Carro thought so. Then Yogu thought about it for a moment, " Yeah I guess it is strange. I must've been in Heaven so long the idea of being dead and being revived sort of lost it's oomph. haha..." Carro mentions how the 'guys on namek' did it. " Huh? Who are you talking about? It was my Shinjin friend Kanrin that got the Dragon Balls here and revived me... I think." Yogu was a little confused by the sudden change in Carro's expression. Carro begins explaining what's been happening while Yogu was 'out of commission', starting with explaining that the city was purified. " Yeah, I have been wondering about that..." Carro made it seem like they had some unexpected difficulties, somehow involving the Arcosian. Speaking of the Arcosian, they added how they and their "team" have been keeping watch and protecting it ever since. Yogu had had enough of this guy. He turns to the Arcosian and his entire demeanor changes. He goes from cheery and confused to cold and harsh in an instant. " Hey. Arcosian. I don't really know who you are or what the FPR is, but you guys sound like a bunch of egotistical assholes, like the World Trade Fleet. Satan City doesn't need someone to protect it. Don't go acting high and mighty because you and your "team"," Yogu does air quotes at the word team. " declared yourselves protectors of a city that doesn't need any help. Got it?" Yogu turns back to Carro, not really caring if the Arcosian wanted a fight over what he said or not. " Sorry about that, please continue." The rest of what Carro said was certainly interesting. Mind-controlled Saiyans, and the Saiyan Kingdom actually fighting back against the WTF? This was all certainly good to know. With the Saiyan Kingdom actually winning against the WTF there'd be less of them on Earth. It will definitely be easier to kick them off the planet. " Hmm... If the Saiyans really were the ones to revive everyone from what happened here, then I suppose I should thank them! You got any spaceships laying around I could borrow? hehe..." Yogu was joking, of course. Going to space has to be some massive and expensive undertaking that involves a lot of people! Right? Maybe he would know the answer if he had paid any attention in school... Oh well, his lack of education would be something he could deal with later. But what was strange to Yogu was that the Saiyan had no idea who the Stargoons were. They were the ones who destroyed Satan City in the first place! " Oh, they're-" Yogu stops himself, would it really be a good idea to involve other people with the stargoons? " Uh... Actually, forget it." Well, Yogu had gotten everything out of the conversation that he needed. " Well, thanks for the help! I'll be heading out I guess. I need to get used to having a body again..." He was about to walk away, but Carro asked him a question. Something about a grumpy dragon dude. " Is he talking about Cobane or Garon?" Then when he said they have anger issues and yell a lot, Yogu cuts off Carro. " -Yep, I know him. Garon, right? How is he an employee at your company? People can stand that guy? I still don't understand how he got into heaven, he's more of an asshole than these FPR guys!" Yogu says, pointing a thumb at Thaw.

"Hm? oh. Ever since the city was first cursed. . . so like- 8 months at this point? I dunno, I haven't really checked a calendar lately" Blanc replied, resting his arms behind his head as he listened to the others conversations. From the initial talks, it seemed like these folk had some sort of major involvement with the corruption and liberation of the city. Thaw and Carro, in particular, claimed to have directly helped in said liberation. Blanc would suddenly bow to the two, before standing upright just as quickly- "If what you say is true, then I suppose I should thank ya! this is my home after all" Blanc chuckled, continuing to tune into the conversation.
Yogu and Carro seemed to have a serious issue with Thaw for whatever reason, probably due to something relating to the cities liberation. Blanc decided not to dig into it and simply listened on. Almost immediately, he was thrown for a loop. The two started to converse about gods, Dragon Balls, Saiyans, all sort of nonsense. Blanc's head wobbled around as this vast flow of information entered, before turning to Ashi, who had now made herself comfortable on a rock. "Hey. . . got any idea what these guys are on about?" he asked dazedly, Ashi simply turning her head to the side and mouthing the word "no".
Blan was a high school student and generally didn't pay too much attention to the news, especially news that concerned outer world subjects. Naturally, he knew what the WTF and the SK were, just not how they were at all relevant to the topic at hand. Didn't help that he had literally been living under a rock throughout the entire time these events unfolded. As they continued, Blanc simply let out a sigh and slumped his head onto his arm. "Sheesh. . . Kinda glad I'm not all that wrapped up in this situation" Blanc muttered, staring over at the two, before letting out another sigh. |
