Day Two: Early Morning

[Paragus]

Para’s stay on the island had been a peaceful one. Until Kirano that is. Para was feeling good when he encountered the blonde haired warrior, too good. When he pulled that pistol from his side pocket fear crept up Para’s neck. That was the first time throughout the game that the saiyan warrior was afraid. The barrel of the gun stared back into the one-eyed elite. His voice still echoed in the elders mind. The image was as clear as a picture in his head.

He was one bad move away from being the next name on Karl Jaks list. The lead casing of death exploded from the hand held weapon. Death would surely follow, but he happened to get lucky.

The jungle around the saiyan became a blurry image. Para’s eye was trying to close against his will. He clenched his hand over his bloody abdomen. His gloves were quickly stained by the crimson river that dripped from the two small holes in his stomach. It had been a long time since the saiyan was shot and the intense pain brought the memories right back. Kirano was Para’s first real encounter with someone who could fight back. The two pieces of ammunition imbedded within his insides was his first real injury of the game.

“This is nothing. You should have been on Planet Vegeta during the Changeling war. Now that was something.” Para laughed, trying not to sound too much like an old man.

Talys was doing his best to patch the elderly saiyan up. After applying a path of gauze over the wound Talys walked away and began playing his game boy once more. The young warrior managed to avoid being injured during the scuffle despite being held hostage. The pain was beginning to subside, but that was actually the least of Para’s interests. From the corner of his eye Para could see Uno gripped his shotgun tighter than he ever did. He dropped to his knees on the ground. A blank stare covered his normally emotion filled face.

“Don’t worry man. You should be back to normal In no time.” Talys reassured the saiyan while playing his video game.

“Yeah...right thanks.” the saiyan was a tad bit distracted at the moment.

Uno was visibly shaken by the ordeal that just took place in the forest clearing. Para pushed himself up only for the pain in his abs to come right back. He plopped back down on his uncomfortable rock. He wiped a glob of sweat from his forehead.

He knew that Uno would get over it, anyway he could.
