The pair sat across from one another on a pair of rocks that jutted through the earth. Krillin's head was nodding slightly as he dozed for a minute. Twenty had promised to remain on watch so that the human could regain his strength.
The first rays of sunlight were beginning to pierce the darkness of the night, sparkling across the land with its calming light. It almost made the android feel at peace, if it hadn't been for the fact that he was on an island where everyone was having to kill each other.
Explosions echoed from across the island, reminding him of this. Regardless of time or place, this game never stopped. The android had not stopped once yet to recharge his energy, or "sleeping" as meatbags such as Gero called it. He was starting to feel a bit tired, but it was nothing that would seriously deter him. He was the most technologically advanced android in existance, or at least he was upon his creation, and could go for days without having to recharge for extended periods of time. He had another ability that could deal with that.
The android placed a hand nonchalantly against one of the large leafy green trees nearby. There was a quiet humming noise, and the energy diode on his hand opened up. Slowly, the tree's mighty branches began to droop, and then fall to the ground, completely lifeless. The main trunk of the tree began to shrivel and turn from a healthy brown to a decaying black. The trunk crumbled unceremoniously to the ground in a heap of ash, as the last remnants of its life were drained from it.
It was a small amount of regained energy, but it was enough to keep the android going for a while longer. Several more minutes passed, during which nothing of much interest occurred. Gero was still wandering around, scouting out the area for others and doing who knows what in his invisible astral form.
A large yawn suddenly broke the peaceful quiet, immediately followed by the annoying sound of someone smacking their lips. Krillin had woken up.
"Mornin'." the bald human muttered, before going into a massive stretch. "What'd I miss?"
"Not much here. But we need to get moving again." Twenty answered, rising to his feet slowly.
"Eh? Why's that? I was sort of hoping we could just find a nice quiet spot, and kick back and relax for a while." Krillin said, shaking himself awake.
"Well, we could do that, but I'd like to avoid getting decapitated by these blasted collars." Twenty chuckled.
"Hmm, well, I suppose it wouldn't kill us to move around a bit." Krillin stated sarcastically.
"Let's just hope it doesn't." Twenty muttered seriously, and began to walk off into the foliage.
"Way to ruin the joke, Mr. Serious Pants." Krillin grumbled and began to follow behind the android as they moved to their next destination.
