Day One: Morning

[Paragus]

The elderly saiyan’s body was having trouble adjusting to a long walk so quickly after taking a nap. His knees were buckling and his eye was closing against his will. A long yawn would pour from the mouth of saiyan warrior with every step he took. The irritating voice of Karl and fear of death at any moment managed to keep him awake though. He shook his head anyway as extra insurance to get in the game.

Flashes of light began to poke there way through the trees of the dense forest. The bright sun was a nice change a pace to the dull morning. Para pushed his way through another patch of giant leaves and plants. It was times like these where the saiyan wished he pulled a machete from his survival. Once the saiyan pushed his way from the labyrinth of jungle vegetation, he found a dirt road leading to a small village.

He walked through the center of the abandoned village cautiously. The cottages actually seemed in pretty good condition and would make for good camping conditions. In the midst of his surveying, the one-eyed saiyan managed step on a large twig causing a loud cracking sound to echo throughout the empty town. Para winced expecting to hear gun shots or an explosion, but there was still silence. After a deep breath of relief it was time to use the signal. Para huddled over and cupped his hands over his mouth.

“Ca-Caw! Ca-Caw!”

The silence of the ghost town was suddenly broken by a returning call just a few feet away. Footsteps began getting closer and Para readied himself. A familiar face stepped from the cover of barely standing concrete wall. Uno gave the saiyan warrior a wink before stepping from the safety of the wall.

“Why did that have to be the signal? I feel like a fucking idiot kid.”

Uno laughed as if that was his subliminal intention all along. He walked over to one of the cottages and took a seat on its small steps. The weapons specialist hadn’t changed much since there encounter with the construct and the saiyan was still unsure about the young man’s alter ego. Para shifted his hands into his side pockets and began kicking a small pebble down the dirt path.

“Sooo, whats next?”

“We have to wait for one more guy, then we leave.” Uno answered.

“Well you have fun waiting out here. Im going to check out the accommodations.” Para said with a smirk.

The saiyan elite walked into one of the small cottages. Cobwebs filled all the corners and the walls were layered with a thick coat of dust. One small cot stood at the far end of the home and a makeshift dining area to his left. Para walked up to the small cabinets that lined the top of the eatery. The saiyan reached for the small white knobs and opened its small doors.

Uno almost jumped out of his skin to the sounds of Para’s screams in the cottage. He grabbed his weapon and sprinted into the home. On the floor Para was wrestling one of the biggest Boa constrictors the blue haired youth had ever laid eyes on. Gasps of breath came out of Para’s mouth in whining form. The saiyan laid motionless; paralyzed with fear as Uno dropped to the floor in a fit of hysterics.

“Please...Get it off me...”

Uno reached over and lifted the large snake and through it out the door and back into the jungle. Para stood up and brushed himself off as if nothing happened. His eye twinkled with moisture.

“Are you crying man?”

Para leaned closer. “You tell the new guy what just happened and I will kill you.”
