Thread PL 4916 "Heuh... Hah."The taste of the salty air was wonderful! Compared to the city's thick, almost suffocating environment, this was a paradise. It was nice and hot, too, with the sun beating down on Date's bronze-like skin. It was nice to get away from people every once and awhile. Just yesterday, in fact, when he went to get his precious motorcycle fixed up and hit up a burger joint, he came across a gorgeous red-skinned alien who knew not what it meant to pay something for food! She had been begging people to buy her food so she could eat and had been kind of oblivious about how money worked! Today, however, was just going to be him relaxing on the beach in his navy blue swim trunks, a beach umbrella to shade himself, a small cooler, and a couple of beach towels to lie on and to dry himself off when he went into the ocean for a swim. Date also had some weak sunscreen, just so he'd not get completely roasted out here on his section of a public beach! He found an area away from most of the people that came here from the Southern Capital City and neighboring towns so he'd not have to deal with something rambunctious or ridiculous like knife eared guys walking out in front oncoming vehicles he's on or guys suddenly jumping up on trees and asking if he's doing something suspicious... "I think I'm gonna go back into space soon for some work," Date thought to himself, finding himself staring out at the expansive ocean, "It's been nice hanging out here on the Earth, but I think I might be getting too relaxed here. Can't be having that happen... Especially with the family knowing I'm around on the planet and I kicked Dozu and Mira's asses again. They may start sending out the big guys... Or Dad."Date's spine shivered at the thought of his Dad coming after him! He was a terrifying guy and if anyone was gonna royally beat Date down for doing something, that man was the one to get it done. Date shook his head, stating aloud to himself, "Nah, don't be ridiculous, Dante! It's not like they'd send him for beating up those two idiot twins. They know better than that! Hah hah... Heh... Mm."Majin Cadenza

Ah, the beach; this was one of the many locations that the people of Earth had considered beautiful. The sun shined brightly on the water, and that water glistened in response. All that beauty was lost to the individual walking there currently, though. As Lysosome neared the beach, he could feel all of the energies in this melting pot. Each one would be fun to eat, but he knew he would have to be stealthy, lest he attract the attention of someone stronger than him. But what were the chances of that happening? Not enough for him to care, for sure. Lysosome scanned the beach before spotting a single individual separated from the crowd. He seemed to be talking to himself, sitting on his beach mat as he took in the sun. Strange. This could be his target, but they seemed to be very on edge. He could feel their energy, so he'd have to be careful here. Nearing the individual, Lysosome began to feel a strange burning on his wing. Oh of course, sunburn. This was his first visit to the beach, after all. "Better make this worth it," he whispered to himself, angrily.

Ah. Yes. The beach. Of all landforms formed alongside a body of water by loose particles of sand and gravel, the classic earthling beach was perhaps in Kalaba's Top 10. He knew better than to romanticize its breeze, as it owed much of its characteristic scent to the swift putrefaction of algae and the like, but something about hearing the mighty roar of the waves imposing their force against the pitiful, malleable shore was cause of great satisfaction to the exurbanite. Who knows? Perhaps in a past life he was a saltwater manatee, what with his distaste for forests and propensity for watery disaster. While a visit to the tropics would have been preferable, the strategist lacked the financial means to afford his safe conduct. It wasn't like he couldn't shrug off normal bullets, but his past experiences with Mac Biggiton had taught him not to underestimate the power of human ki-imbued weaponry. Thus, Kalabas forced himself to instead enjoy the mundanely simple pleasures of a beach near South City. It would soon be clear that his choice, while not outright inadvisable, counted itself among the legions of other bad, unwise, or stupid choices the saiyan had made during his relatively short lifetime. Impressive, really, how he managed to even enter the beach during its busiest day of the year. Why, setting up his meager supplies took him almost an entire hour! Frustrated and thoroughly roasted, the parched saiyan laid his towel scant feet away from a bronzed and statuesque Date; and tired by the travel, was quick to strip his upper armor, open a can of Hey-Tape, and bury himself in the sand. The towel served as a pillow, you see? Snugly comforted by layers upon layers of finely granulated detritus, Kalabas was finally at peace. What a fool. PL: 5,354

TPL: 4,250 | Dai majin Always active Def PL: 12,750 Cadenza wasn't the type of girl to find much enjoyment out of the beach of all places. The most Cadenza could gain from such a place were the activities that people usually found themselves doing while they were here. Of course when she were little most of these things were easier to do with her tiny body- chasing the current of the water off of the sand then rushing back before it could catch up to her feet, it was a truly intellectual activity that someone only as smart as her could see the symbolism behind. Nowadays she was much too big for things like that, not that you could ever get to big from doing specific activities but Cadenza knew she'd get very little enjoyment from running away from tiny waves before they could wet her feet, it just wouldn't be fun. But luckily that example didn't hold a candle to the other activities that were present throughout a beach- such things like Volleyball, or simply bouncing a beach ball back and fourth between at least four people. Cadenza could do with some of that stupid- teenager action right about now, but it was obviously much easier said than done and being alone at the beach? was not a good start. Luckily Cadenza's unmatched brain power also gave her the ability to get a lot of friends at once without even trying. Already she spotted two people that seemed like they'd be able to contribute to her mission. Building a big ki ball in her hand she split it into two smaller ones tossing each to the unexpecting individuals. She figured they'd be able to sense the ki coming toward them and see that she was trying to catch their attention, hopefully the one talking to himself wasn't too busy being crazy to notice. Next up she had to look more presentable...sure the orange star high school T-shirt probably did the job on a beach but her brain told her that she could do much better. Whether the two saiyans that she had decided to try and catch the attention of approached her before she was done or not evidently didn't seem to phase her, she just continued while they were watching. In the blink of an eye her T-shirt would in the blink of an eye turn into your average beach Bikini, her shoes turned into sandals because of course, she hated the sand. With the outfit complete she'd reach and pick up a bundle of sand from the ground, using her candy beam to turn it into a multi colored beach ball.
"-ahem-" She started by clearing her throat and adjusting her glasses before striking a pose! One arm in the air holding the beach ball and the other balled up into a fist on her hip, one of her eyes winked so it only showed her other white Iris to be revealed, she put on a smile that read enthusiasm and lifted a leg off of the ground. "HEY YOU GUYS WANNA PLAY SOME BEACH BALL!?" She'd shout in her regular voice, which compared to the one she usually did was much more upbeat and high pitched.

Date sighed quietly, the silence he was experiencing a fleeting enjoyment... That is, until Date heard the sound of sand and a can of the mimicking drink, Hey-Tap, a legal and FAR LESS POTENT version of the infamous HETAP. The saiyan didn't even hear the guy walk onto the beach near him, let alone hear him literally burying himself in the sand up to his waist!
"Are you kidding me," Date thought to himself, blinking in astonishment while looking at the guy, "I came all the way out here, away from people to relax and this guy just plops himself down next to me, drinking a... WAIT A MINUTE!"
Date went into his personal cooler to his side, counting up the drinks inside. Before he could get a full count, though, a girl's voice called out, asking if they wanted to play some beach ball with her! Date closed his cooler, palming face as he replied before turning to the source and pointing to, "Are you freakin' kidding me? I'm-"
The saiyan got a good look at the girl... Majin lady. He wasn't expecting this either!
"-totally up for it!"
Date looked at the heavily sunburnt bum that he was pretty sure took one of his drinks, even if it was a crappy one, from his cooler and slapped the sunburnt guy only feet away from him on his forehead. As he did this, he also noticed something strange moving about in the sand not too far from them. It looked as though it as approaching, too! The on-break mercenary thought to himself, "Hmm... So there's a plus here with majin chick, and then there's this bum and whatever the hell that is over there... It looks humanoid enough!"
"Yo," Date spoke right after the slap to the forehead, his voice quiet, "There's some sunscreen right there if ya need it, and some water in the cooler. Grab a bottle and join me and the girl there... Also 2 other things. 1: bring that guy over here to join us in this game, and 2: Don't you dare touch the lager. Otherwise, you're gonna be squealing a lot before you leave this beach..!"
The mercenary pointed at the weird guy in the distance that was approaching them for this beach bum to see.Date stood up afterwards and trotted over to the girl! He clapped his hands before putting his hands up for her to pass, asking her, "Up for a little rallying practice while we wait for this guy and the other one to get over here? I'm Dante, by the way!"
Aaaaaaaaaaaand there's the reply. :P

As the day went on, more individuals began to gather at the spot he observed. A Saiyan neared the one already at the beach, setting his things down before drifting off. Another individual, a Majiin, attempted to get a volleyball game started, and was successful for at least one of the individuals. It was strange how these people interacted. After staring for some time, Lysosome felt the urge to move closer. The sun had shined squarely on his wings, and they had begun to blister from the intense solar rays. It was definitely an extremely painful experience. Well, time to get closer. Slowly, he inched closer to the group, making sure to not be seen, but not necessarily felt.

Why must Kalabas suffer like this? Awakened by the sudden slap, the drowsy moron snarled a rather colorful string of curses under his breath. It wasn't like he was repulsed by the touch of such a toned, muscled, sweaty, manly man, but premature burials were hardly the kind of things that one should interrupt. With as much coherence as his sun-bleached brain could muster, the saiyan babbled something about Hey-Tape being a healthy off-brand beverage ill-deserving of its frighteningly accurate rumors that heed warning to its cancerous components purposefully strengthened by the Saiyan-Arcosian Papal Coalition. Of course, those in earshot would only hear the occasional highly prejudicial slur among the babble, but taking in account just how grand was Hey-Tape's role in Kalaba's nutrition, one should not expect any better.
"Grab the sunscreen...", answered the rather dehydrated but more awake saiyan, "and shove it up your bum." With slight effort to avoid making himself an ever greater fool, our nominal hero of a loser forced himself out of his itchy tomb. He looked something beyond tired, as if the five or so minutes he had spent sleeping were the first in days. Taking into account just how often he traveled in hopes of finding anything that could succor him in his quest to sterilize the cosmic pus-ridden gas that was the Arcosian race, it was very likely.
"I don't think she has any eggs for you to harvest!" A lame farewell spoken by a lamer fiend, Kalabas was nevertheless impressed by just how quickly he had managed to grow his proverbially cutting wit during his short stay. All the sass he has been exposed to is finally showing. Kalabas Biteye, the oddest would-be statesman the universe had ever had the displeasure of concocting, flew over to Lysosome, whose presence had been detected and (NOT) quite gentlemantly pointed out by Date. "Odd fellow, would you care to join our earthling game? That burly saiyan over there seeks to taint the gene pool."

She had been flying through the sky and enjoying the sites of earthling civilization. Humans were weak physically but it seemed they made up for it in their technology and other ventures , she even noticed some form of flying vehicle as she flew in the direction of the beach. She knew she had to find the dragon balls but decided the best way to do it was to mingle with the natives. She had to figure these creatures out and get them to help here find what she seeked ,killing two birds with one stone were always better in her opinion. She had seen a group of people gathering at a beach and so she decided to fly to where they were, they seemed like an interesting group..
She flew directly over kalabas and looked down to him with a look of curiosity her under parts being covered by a layer of loincloth. "earthling game huh... I will join you!" She landed and seemed dressed for the occasion with her red loincloth and wrapping on her chest clear in view. She crossed her arms and landed a few feet from kalabas " how does one play this game?..." She looked over toward the girl of the group and noticed a slight resemblance to her majin appearance. " are you ?..." she pointed toward her her eyes full of shock , earth was truly a land of interesting creatures it even had some who resembled her.

"peace peace peace peace!" Cadenza would whisper to herself as she shined a peace sign with one of her hands, while holding the beach ball in the other hand above her head. It seemed her offer was taken with open hands by at least one of the the other men she had bothered to call forth, though it seems he did his best to get the other one she called into the game as well, Counting the heads including that strange creature that resembled...well...too many things was also being offered a spot with them, plus herself that made...four people! Wow that was much easier than Cadenza thought it would have been- or at least it took less time that she had thought it would.
Turning to the first one who had approached her, with intentions on playing a few mock matches while the others took their time to get to where they were. This being one of the only times Cadenza didn't see a need to express her genius actually out right didn't adjust her glasses! As a matter of fact she'd take them from her face and toss them into the sky only for them to poof into a cloud of pink mist. "Okay, you're up...Dante!"
She'd say thrusting forward a thumbs up before serving then smacking the ball toward the saiyan called Dante with a firm but moderate smack into his direction. "I'm Cadenza! Majin Cadenza~ pretty easy name to memorize right? ahahaha!" She'd rest a hand on her hip after sending the ball in his direction. Looking to the others to see their progress on- well, joining the game Cadenza would spot a majin- female type like her except with a much more pale complexion of flesh.
From what she could tell the pale majin had a more amazoness way of dressing when it came to bikini attire. Cadenza wasn't sure but the design seemed almost tribal rather than extracurricular which didn't do much more than cause Cadenza to tilt her head for a moment before moving her focus back to the fact that she too wanted to join. "Heeheehee! Hey you guys hurry up over here, and you!" She'd point to the pale white majin. "You can be on my side! hurry on over there, playing the game is easy! all you do is pass the ball to another person the way we do!" Cadenza would turn her attention back to Dante prepared to strike back if the ball came her way. Something seemed a tad bit off about that pale majin...she didn't know how to play beach ball? jeez was she under a meteor for the past five billion years?

The other guy was clearly delirious, so Dante let the insults fly by. When the guy got of his sandy 'tomb,' to meet with the approaching one, another majin girl arrived asking about joining in, before being curious about something. As this happened, the Majin, named Cadenza, tossed her glasses off, which vanished as she smacked the ball swiftly to Dante's location! The mercenary quickly grasped his hands together, his left thumb in the right's fist before making his forearms straight like wooden boards!
The ball bounced easily up in the air back to Cadenza, Date saying to her, "Heads up, Cadenza, and nice to meet you!"
He was certainly not expecting this, but the burly mercenary didn't mind! When the other Majin girl came over, claiming not knowing how to play volleyball, Cadenza got to explaining how to play to her. Date would follow up, saying, "Right now, we're just warming up by knocking the ball to each other, which is called rallying. In an actual game, we'd normally have a net and the objective would be to smack the ball down on the enemy team's side, within their playing area. Thing is, you can only use your hands and you can't catch the ball or it'll be counted as a point for the enemy team, along with it being their turn to hit the ball to your side! This is called, 'Serving the ball.' If we had a net, we could play an actual game, with someone being the rules and score keeper."
Date prepared himself to receive the ball as he explained. If it was below his waist, he'd do what he did before, but if it was above, he'd open his palms up fully with tips of his thumb and index finger touching the opposite, to create a box shape with his hands! He also was keeping himself aware of the two others further away, seeing as how the sunburnt guy had made it apparent to insult Date a couple of times already in his delirious state. The saiyan was keeping a tally of the insults being sent his way, and depending on if he hit a certain number, the other guy would get an appropriate reaction with the volley ball.
Date simply gives an explanation to the new arrival, all the while he gets the rally going with Cadenza! He also is keeping a counter of insults in his head from Mr. Sunburnt saiyan, who's talking to the strange guy that'd been walking slowly up to them!

Had... had he been spotted!? The Majiin woman seemed to speak to him directly, asking him to come play this human game with them before the other Majiin, a white one in Amazoness clothing, came and stole her attention back. He was shocked to realize he could be felt that easily, leaving him to wonder what he did wrong. Ah yes, his ki. She probably looked over without even realizing her senses. At least, he thought. But, no, he would not take them on this silly offer, instead opting to watch the other large group of beach goers, readying himself to silently collect one whilst no one watched.

Kalabas? Delirious? Perhaps. Alas, how can one remain in full possession of his logical faculties after serving under some of the eccentric and offbeat in the now (most likely) defunct Royal Army? Relying on the Lunar Loonies squadron was considered scraping the bottom of the barrel for a reason, and not only because they were relatively weak.
Perhaps this facet of his had been unearthed by the strange properties of Hey-Tape, hence Lysosome's departure. "Good riddance, you freaky bastard...", to be so rudely left behind, without as much as a simple goodbye, was not enough to anger Kalabas, who was merely peeved by the lack of manners displayed by the strange creature. Perhaps this new majinn, clad in an even scantier fashion than Cadenza, would prove to be far more well-behaved and social. She spoke with none of that ominously childish diction so characteristic of her kind, which suited Kalabas just fine. "As the giddy kiddiewink said, this sad affair is a futile exercise of chaotic ball smacking. Avoid the imaginary net, remain grounded at all times, and do not resort to ki blasts."
Date, his unlikely teammate, appeared to have long mastered the fine art of playing volleyball, the convential way. Kalabas, however, was certain that the key to victory was on adapting what little he knew to better counter his rivals' strengths, which led him to play in a very unorthodox way. You see, while your average human require both hands to successfully accomplish the most basic of moves, the monkey mastermind suspected that he could just use his index and middle fingers to carry out wondrous moves of physic and physical mastery. Needless to say, the foolish tactic was having less than stellar results.

She was invited over to join them , it seemed like mingling with earthlings wouldn't be so hard . As she mentioned she didn't know how to play "volleyball" she was surprised at the majin and others responses , they were willing to teach her. She smiled lightly which was a pretty rare sight as she walked over to cadenza's side and tried her best to take in the basics of the game " pass the ball.. okay" She bent her knees and thrusts her forearms forward in a motion which matched the other volleyballers. "yes I can smack a ball but I don't know how to use a kiddiewink" She looked over to kalabas a bit puzzled. She pulled the red clothe tightly against the tendril on her head keeping it firmly in place as she readied herself for the game.
" I am Zin" she said introducing herself to the others, she looked over to her partner in the game " I'm a majin too" She felt she learned enough of the game and she cuped her hands together ready to begin . "if I stretch out my leg and kick the person who you hit the ball to I bet they won't be able to hit the ball" She whispered over to her with a deadpan stare , this was a half hearted joke and the move itself was not mentioned as not allowed and so in accordance with her partner she would do it. Based on her experience all games involved a bit of rough housing... As long as no one died it was all in good fun.

Looking over everyone that had actually decided to join that being- Dante the saiyan closest to her..physically, the other saiyan that had gone on his brief recruiting mission for the game and the pale majin! Counting their heads it seems they had enough for teams now! Smiling she'd catch the ball once Dante returned it to her side. "Aha! this looks good now! I have an idea gather around everyone!"
She beckoned Dante, Kalabas and Zin to come closer within huddle range so that she could explain the way the game would go now that there was an even number of players. Holding the mutli-colored beach ball in one arm against the waist she used her other hand for...expressive purposes. "Alright everyone! I'm sure you two know how this goes but since Zin is a little new to the game I'll explain it from the bottom up!" She said before walking around the group placing a hand on Dante's shoulder.
"There are two ways we can do this, battle of the sexes! us majin are by proxy of physique obviously, battle of the species! Two majin vs two saiyans or of course, battle of the couples! so a girl and a boy vs a boy and a girl! Oh don't worry, it's just a term I'm not expecting you to find your soulmate here or anything!" She said leaning forward with a chuckle just incase anyone took the word couple too literally...or not literally enough?
Whatever she would take the beachball into both of her hands and approach Kalabas upfront smiling at him.
"Before me and Dante would actually going at it with each other, and I think I want to continue challenging him so if we do the couples challenge why don't you be on my team?" She asked with a tilt to the head to Kalabas.

Cadenza caught the ball, while the fifth guy quickly flew off somewhere. It was strange, but now their number was even! She beckoned the 3 others to huddle up, Date doing so with hands on his hips. Not that it was too needed to huddle up as she spoke loud enough for all to hear. She put a hand on Date's shoulder, as she went through the options. Girls vs. Guys, Majin vs. not Majin (which was basically the same as the first), and then, 'couples.'
"Well, as it sounds more interesting than boys vs. girls," Date spoke up, after Cadenza suggested she and Date be on opposite teams, saying, "I'd be inclined to agree with the couples grouping with you and the lobster here being on one team while Zin and I be on the other."
The guy hadn't told them his name yet, so he was going to be nicknamed lobster until he did otherwise! 'Lobster,' did explain not to use ki blasts, remaining grounded, and to get it over the fake net. Zin afterwards mentioned kicking the person about to get the ball. To that, Date stated with a smile, "You wanna include a sparring match in the midst of this game? That sounds fairly entertaining..!"
Date cracked his neck with a pause, looking at Cadenza and 'Lobster,' to ask them, "So, you wanna try that out? Among the people I'm usually around, we call that type of volleyball game, 'Wrecking ball'! I can tell you the rules of it and all that."
The game, Wrecking Ball, was a game that some of the Mercenaries in this area of the Northern Galaxy played whenever they wanted to settle grievances and get some extra cash! It played more like a fusion of Dodge ball and Volleyball. It involved people being able to use the volleyball to either get a point in the normal volleyball sense, or they could use it to knocked the enemy out of bounds during the rally. It allowed people to use their feet on the ball to spike it faster at people or at the enemy side of the field to earn a point. If they wanted to play that, Date would oblige in explaining the core rules of this game!
Got an interesting proposition for ya. Who here has heard of Lethal League? Think that mixed with the Volleyball court... :)
