Back to the Usual
PL: 46,030 | (x4) Hydrogan: ON"I-I swear we didn't do nothin'!"Garon could've sworn he heard one of the thieves in front of him say something, but he couldn't really hear with those alarms blaring around him. The Doragon had made his way down to South City after having heard reports of a band of three or four thieves stealing from some bank that he couldn't be bothered to remember the name of -- typical villain stuff. The thieves were armed, but against Garon's armor they might as well have had pool noodles as weapons. "C'mon guys, please, I've-" One of the thieves decided to test their luck by firing a pistol at Garon, only for the bullet to bounce off his suit and shatter a lightbulb in the chandelier above. "...got work tomorrow, so don't make this harder than it needs to be, 'k?". The thieves took a couple steps back, their hands shaking so much they could barely keep a grip on the sacks of cash they were holding. "Just, y'know, drop the money or whatever and then we can just wait it out until-""F-FREEZE! EVERYONE PUT YOUR HANDS UP!""Heyyy, looks like my job here's done.", Garon said, not putting his hands up. With the officer still pointing his gun at the group, Garon walked up to the thieves and swiped their guns right out of their hands. "Won't be needing these in prison." Without a moment's notice, the guns were engulfed in blue flames before melting into nothing but a pile of warped metal and used-to-be bullets. The Doragon began to make his way towards the front door, the police officer still not fully understanding what just happened. "All yours, officer. Make sure they get comfy cells.". As Garon walked out of the bank he gave the officer a little wave before taking flight. He only ended up flying a couple blocks away, landing in an alley between an office building and a parking garage. A couple seconds after landing, the alley would be flooded in blue light, and an unarmored Garon would emerge from the alley.
[UT] Disarm activated! Current PL: 30
"Geez, was it always this cold outside?", Garon thought to himself, the cold piercing through his hoodie. He looked to his left and saw the red and blue lights still flashing from the crime scene. "Seems like things should be clearing up around here soon. Guess I should probably start making my way home...". The Doragon began his trek to the nearest bus station...

Sulfur's PL: 1,000 | TURO's PL: 40,045
It was just the typical day at work, it felt like. Sulfur decided to take a break and go to work for once, which would hopefully calm her nerves about the various things that were currently happening. She has to worry about seeing her parents again worry that there is a possibility her boyfriend might die, and worry about a certain cyborg arcosian friend. Obviously worrying about this crap could take a MASSIVE toll on someone, especially Sulfur, who was possibly the most sensitive creature in the galaxy. Everything sucked for Sulfur, but she managed to keep a smile the whole time, just like how Carro does it. She always wondered how he could pull through his own problems without giving up any hope, smiling until whatever he needed to do was done. That is probably of the reasons why she loved him to begin with; Whenever he was around her, he always managed to make her feel better.
Let’s hope it stays that way.
It’s been an hour or so since Sulfur got finished with her job, which was to inspect the electrical wires that ran throughout the city. She needed to make sure they weren’t too low, didn’t have any tears, and make sure that power was going through. Nothing really happened luckily, and she had her little buddy TURO tag along. Not only did he make great company, but he was a 1 foot, velociraptor-shaped fusebox… or something. The point is that he was VERY electrical, and his attacks were electric-based. If any power was out, all he had to do was bite down on a metal thing and BOOM, power!
Anywho, the avian and plexbit were both walking down the city streets, looking for a nearby bus station so they could both go home. Sulfur began using the bus every now and then just so she could get to know people. Plus she liked the feeling of riding with a bunch of people, finding it weirdly calming at times.
“Hey, Turo! This reminds you of the old days, y’know? Us two… doing work and researching.” Sulfur would say to her plexbit, who was walking ahead of her. He would just let out a little beep in response, which was enough for the bird to giggle. “Yeah, and this time we’re not researching rocks, heheh. It was honestly worth it though! You can harness power from the rocks over at… er, forgot the name of the place, but the ki in the rocks-“ Sulfur would stop whenever the android beeped again, in which she would just roll her eyes. “Yeah, then that weirdo came and…” Some more beeps. “Okay, uh… How about the time when we met Ledinjin? Y’know, before I had to pull his brains out an-“
Turo would just turn around briefly and beep frantically, seeming as if he wasn’t really comfortable with what she was about to say. The avian would just huff and cross her arms, the feathers that were under her arms draping over her body. “Fffffine… okay, how about- Wait, does that guy look familiar to you?” Sulfur would stop once she saw a familiar-looking person. Was he that guy who died? She remembered reading his data-stuff and… “HEY, UHM, MR. GARON! HI! IT’S ME, SULFUR! I WORK AT CROP CO. LIKE YOU! YOU KNOW, AFTER YOU DIED!”
Real smooth, Sulfur. REALLY smooth.
As she waved towards the doragon, TURO would just stand there and act as if this was the usual.

As Garon was making his way towards the bus station, he heard a peculiar noise. Well actually, they were just footsteps, but what was weird about them was that they were headed towards him. He turned around, expecting to meet someone in the face, but he had to turn his head more diagonally. Whoever this person was lacked in the height department, and what she had to say was… interesting. The bird creature introduced herself as Sulfur, Garon was both shocked and angered by what the bird creature said, but given her size and the way she addressed him as “Mr. Garon”, the Doragon came to a conclusion. “No idea who you are, but grab a juice box and head home, kid. It’s late- your parents are probably waiting.”
With that, Garon ignored the bird as he continued his trek to the bus station, agitated that she had to bring up those dark memories of him, well, dying. Bringing up the topic was like lighting a small fire inside of him that burns anyone who touches it, at least until it dies down. And frankly, he wasn’t in the mood to hear some bird kid raving about how she’s pretending to work at Crop Co. But, that was when he noticed something... “Wait a minute.”Sulfur. Thinking back on it, the name sounded vaguely, vaguely familiar. Garon stopped his walk and turned around, looking back at the bird creature. “Sulfur”... if the Doragon was remembering correctly, that Von-60 guy mentioned the name once. In fact, he was sure of it. “...you’re not pulling my leg, are you?”, Garon said, turning around fully to face Sulfur. When he saw the little robot that was following Sulfur, that pretty much confirmed his suspicions - she wasn’t lying. “I thought child labor was illegal, but if you’re working with Mr. Hofferson then I trust that he’s not breaking the law or anything.”
“Anyway, yep. I’m him. Garon. The dead guy.”, Garon said, clearly not happy that Sulfur brought up the dying thing. “ So are you some kinda intern or something? I noticed you have your own Plexroid, but it seems to be uh… fun sized. He said that only a couple people have them, and yours doesn’t look to be particularly strong, so is he just giving them out now?”. In his defense, Garon was genuinely asking the question out of curiosity, but his annoyance was tangible through his voice, and he knew that he was probably going to come off as snarky. But on the other hand, he didn’t really care. This bird had lit herself a fire, and she was going to get singed.

The avian would look at the doragon with a wide, toothy smile that sorta resembled that of a shark’s… but a lot sharper. She waited for the doragon’s response, TURO sitting just besides her whenever he caught up with the bird woman. Sulfur’s four ears were all perked up and excited whenever she heard him speak, though they would immediately droop after being told that he didn’t know who she was. And it… seemed like he thought she was a kid, probably?? She didn’t really know that her appearance looked child-like, so she was pretty confused. The woman stuttered whenever he turned and began walking away, the avian’s talons clicking against the sidewalk as she walked behind him. “W-Wait, I’m not a kid! I’m 19 years old! A-And my parents are… uh, not here! They’re uh… GONNA be here, but it’s gonna be a visit! They’re, like, a whole solar system away from Earth s-so…!” Sulfur whined, and TURO would of course follow alongside his owner as per usual.
Once Garon stopped in his tracks, she would bump against his leg, which didn’t really feel all that much considering she was extremely light, even with all the augmentations within her body. “O-Oh, sorry! I-I’m not pulling your leg at all, Mister! I do work at Crop Co.! B-Been working in it for a year almost!” She went ahead and said, trying to convince the doragon that she was indeed serious with what she was saying. As she stared up at him and listened to what he had to say next, her expression would just turn… blank. Like her lips would turn into a perfect line, as if expressing a ‘are you fucking serious’ expression. Yeah, she was getting annoyed… for once. “I’m 19, and Carro Hofferson is my boyfriend, thank you very much.” The woman would say, narrowing her eyes. “And last time I check, you’re the kid right now. You’re 17, right? Well, KIDDO, I’m with the CEO AND president, so you should watch what you say, nerd.” Wow, she was actually threatening him with Carro for once. Yeeeah, she wasn’t happy…
A few beeps could be heard behind Sulfur, and she would just turn towards the source of the noise, TURO. He was just sitting there laughing, and upon being looked at, would stop immediately. She would turn towards Garon however as he continued, taking in a deep breath. “It’s a plexbit, thank you very much. And he has a name… and it’s TURO.” She would go ahead and say, huffing. “He’s pretty strong… but he can be a lot stronger whenever he’s fused with his ‘sister’, AVALON. She’s a a half mech, half android I use to boost my combat capabilities… and I built her myself! Oh, and I made the fusion thing too!”
“So I’m not some ‘intern’, thank you very much.”
The avali would take in a deep breath before forming another wide grin, extending a three-digited hand to the doragon. “My name is Sulfur! And I kinda read about you and.. well, I just wanna say thank you for fighting during that time. I’m… really glad you’re back though, and I-I wanna hang out with you! Oh, I could uh… treat you with some food? Buy you some things? Or we can ride the bus back to… whatever! I just really wanna talk with you if that’s okay.” Sulfur said, her expression softening. “It’s not everyday I meet a hero like you.”
She respected anyone who fought during that event, even if she wasn’t really around to experience it. Garon, however, died trying to protect Satan City… so he deserved some recognition! Plus he was a fellow Crop Co. employee… so it made her admiration towards him a bit better. “So uh, you think you can spare some of your time with a ‘kid’? My parents won’t really mind waiting another hour or two.” She said with a squeaky giggle.

Despite Garon admitting that the avian might not have been lying, Sulfur still insisted that she was nineteen: not only an adult, but also older than him. “You? Not a kid?”, Garon asked. “Sorry, but I’m not stupid.” That was a blatant lie. “No offense, but let’s just say you don’t look like a fan of top shelves. You’re not fooling anyone.” Then she mentioned something about her parents coming from space to visit, which made sense considering that she was of a species that Garon had never seen before. For a moment, it had him thinking about his own species’s origin planet: Eminor. He’d never heard anything about it except stories from when his mother lived there. But his train of thought was derailed when Sulfur had the audacity to call herself… “Mr. Hofferson’s GIRLFRIEND?!”. It caught him so off guard he stood there idle, the shock visible in his face, but he quickly regained (most of) his composure. “H-haha. Very funny. Real comedian.”, he said, still a little shook. “C’mon, we both know you’re not telling the truth here. He would’ve told me ages ago if he was in some kinda relationship. Plus, what kind of nineteen year old calls someone two years younger than them ‘mister’?”, he asked. Sulfur then went on to explain about her “Plexbit”, which Garon could only assume was the name of that pint-sized robot. Most of it made sense… except for some OTHER robot named “Avalon” that she apparently built herself, and she even claimed that the two could fuse. Garon sighed. “Look, kid, I’m trying really hard to believe everything you’re saying right now, but you’re making it kinda difficult. You expect me to believe that you built some kind of other hyper-powerful robot that not only exists but also can magically fuse with your other robot?”, asked the guy who had a metal suit that could fabricate out of thin air. But as Sulfur kept talking, it became more and more clear that she just wanted to hang out with Garon. He almost grew a soft spot for her, but… “ If you’re looking for a hero, go talk to your ‘boyfriend’.”, he put in air quotes. “I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure heroes are supposed to help solve problems, not cause them." Cobane’s words still stuck to him like glue to this day, and even though he hadn’t seen the former assassin in months he still remembered his words. With his attitude and way of doing things, calling him a “hero” wouldn’t exactly be the proper terminology in the slightest. Or at least, that’s what thought.

Sulfur would puff out her cheeks a little bit and glare up at the doragon upon hearing that he wasn’t at all convinced that she was older than him, letting out an annoyed groan. “I’m not a kid though! I’m 19!! You’re 17!!!” The avian would squeak after shouting that, her feathers beginning to fluff up a bit due to her aggravated mood. “I’m telling the truth, geez! Look at my files, you-you… dummy!” Her eyes grew wide upon saying that, and she would cover her mouth. “O-Oh, sorry! I’m sorry for getting angry! I didn’t mean to call you a name!” The avali would say frantically, all four of her ears pinning back as she looked up at Garon with a frown. But that would all change however whenever he shouted that she was INDEED Mr. Hofferson’s girlfriend, feeling pretty confident now that he believed her. But then he would just pretend that it was all a lie, even going as far to say that she wasn’t telling the truth. “Me and Carro has been a thing a few months ago… er, after he… him… that big saiyan attacked Crop Co.” His name was still hard to say it seemed, but she assumed that he could get what she meant when she said that. Who wouldn’t know about that giant saiyan who attacked Crop Co., especially with a Crop Co. member?
“Ask him about me if you want. I’m telling the truth. Like I said before, we’ve been together ever since that incident… so we’ve been a thing for a bit. Heck, he’s even gonna meet my tribe later on this month when they arrive. If you want to, you could also meet them too if ya want.” Sulfur said, letting out a small huff. “A-And… I call people that because it’s polite. I call everyone mister or miss, and now I’m beginning to doubt you’re even 17 with how rude you’re acting.” She grumbled, but as soon as he mentioned the FACT that her fusion thing wasn’t real, she would slowly pull out her phone. “OKAY, FINE. How about I call her right now? Then we can have TURO and AVALON fuse!” She said, beginning to tap away at her phone and harumphing. “She’ll be here in 5 minutes! I built her PERSONALLY by myself, nerd.”
After saying that however though, she would frown after hearing the doragon. “Huh? What?” She blinked, a little confused. He was a hero though! He died trying to protect something, right? That’s… heroic, right? “B-But you try to saved Satan City! You… did something to protect it that I deem very heroic, a-and… I’m still gonna offer you a bite to eat or something, no matter what you say.” She said with a small sigh, looking down towards TURO, who seemed nonchalant like usual. He’s probably busy watching the next episode of Mech Wars on the internet that she mistakingly installed for him. “Y-You’re a good guy, nerd. Heck, you’re just as heroic as Carro Hofferson himself, who also risks his life for everyone.” Hopefully he’ll actually accept what she is saying, but that more than likely won’t be the case.

Garon slid the palm of his hand across his face. Sulfur kept insisting that she was telling the truth, but he was having some serious trouble believing it all. If she was who she claimed to be, then why hadn't Carro mentioned her? And if she wasn't, then how did she know so much about him? The avali then mentioned that she had been with Carro ever since that incident where part of the building to destroyed. He didn't know that a Saiyan had caused it, and he certainly didn't know that Sulfur was so deeply affected by the disaster. But Garon didn't have many words of sympathy for her, not because he didn't feel it for her, but because he didn't know much about the situation. "...That's rough.", he said. "Me? Meet your... tribe?", Garon asked when Sulfur invited him to meet what the Doragon could only assume was the rest of her family. "I hardly know you.". That was his way of saying "no" and "I don't care" at the same time. Then she went and insulted Garon by doubting that he was really 17 years old. "You're right. I turn 18 in a couple weeks.", he said, reflecting the insult away. She then threatened to call her "Avalon" to fuse with her Plexbit, to which Garon didn't respond with anything but a shrug and a simple "Whatever.". After all, there was no way that the thing was actually going to arrive, right? But, back to the present. Unfortunately for Sulfur, she insisted on talking about the whole Satan City incident. Garon stayed silent, his fists shaking as all those bad memories began to flood his mind once again. She insisted that he was the "hero" of that tale, and that he was just as heroic as the guy who actually replenished the city. But he knew that wasn't true. He knew it, and there were five certain living, breathing pieces of evidence to prove it. They were still out there. And just as Sulfur was about to finish that last sentence...
"SHUT UP!" He'd subconsciously armored his left hand before slamming it into the building they were standing by, chipping the brick wall. There was a new look in his eyes. It wasn't one of anger, or slyness like it had been before. At this moment, it was a look of desperation. "I-I didn't DO anything, ok? It doesn't MATTER whether I tried or not, everyone still lost in the end. You weren't there. You don't know what I... I...". As he stuttered, he figured he might as well just say it. He'd already dug himself a hole so deep there wasn't any point in climbing back up. "I never SAVED anyone or anything, OK. In fact- you wanna know the TRUTH? I did the exact opposite. I'M the reason everyone died, because I'M the one who decided to be a dumbass and fight for the wrong team. And when I DID realize my mistake? I didn't care about the CITY.". That was a lie. "The only thing I wanted was to off those... those damn...". Garon's mental state was visible in his face. He was like a shaken up soda bottle and Sulfur had oh so slightly opened the cap. But in the end, he couldn't bring himself to say it. He'd already said too much. "...I'm leaving. Bye.". Without warning, Garon suited up right in front of Sulfur before blasting off as fast as his jets would allow him. But needless to say, the two's encounter wouldn't end so quickly...
