A thought suddenly crossed the android?s mind. Slamming his palm against his giant forehead, the butterscotch tainted droid kicked off the ground. Lifting into the air, he found himself feeling a bit frustrated with himself. Wondering why he hadn?t thought to fly earlier, Thirteen felt something wrong with him. Having only made it three feet into the air, the machine-hybrid found himself in a dive towards the ground.
Unable to evade the quick drop, he found himself slamming his body face first into the tall grass. Dirt was kicked up around the mechanical being and a loud, whoosh of air shot out of his lungs. Instinctively rolling to is side and grabbing his stomach, Thirteen tried to catch his breath, though it proved tougher than it seemed.
?Great, what a way to go out.? he thought.
Slowly, but surely, the oxygen returned to his lungs and he was able to breathe again. Relieved, the droid placed his palms on the ground the lifted himself back to his feet. Stretching his arms over his head and twisting his body a few times, he seemed ok, though confusion plagued his mind. Why was he unable to fly? He quickly found the answer. Remembering the agent that brought him to the VIP Lounge, Thirteen vaguely remembered the conversation they had. Things like, regeneration, ki sense, and flight were locked out by the collar around everyone?s necks.
Placing a finger on the device, he ran it over the smooth outer surface. He wanted so badly to just tear it off of his neck, but he knew exactly what would happen.
?Boom.? Whispered the droid, speaking only to himself and the dark.
Suddenly, there was movement ahead. The droids heart began to race with both fear and excitement, his adrenaline was in full force already. Lowing himself to the ground, he watched and waited, ready to pounce on anyone that may turn hostile. Hoping that it wouldn?t come down to it, Thirteen made out two figures who were chatting back and forth with each other, though they were just a bit too far away to recognize their identities. Figuring that he would have to move in, the android decided that it was time for a bit of shapechanging. Quickly shifting into a cat, the android shot out through the grass, trying to find out who these two stranger?s were.
Suddenly, he heard the voices and both were familiar. Coming to a sudden halt, just at the end of the tall grass, Thirteen listened and watched. It was them alright. The adrenaline and fear quickly died out and a smile spread across the cats face as he began to grow.
Back in his original state, the android rushed towards Kami and Trunks waving his arms.
?Hey guys!? yelled Thirteen as he approached the duo.
Both men were startled by the sudden appearance of the android and jumped backwards, ready to strike out. Suddenly, the fear came hurling back into the droid stomach. Coming to a dead stop and raising his hands into the air, he motioned for the two men to lower their guard.
?It?s me,? spoke the droid and he moved into their sight.
?Oh.? Trunks finally spoke. ?It?s Thirteen, ?bout time.?
Thirteen scratched his head, he had found part of his alliance.
OOC: Got the ok. Trunks, Kami, and Thirteen are all together.
