Area C: Day One

[Metal Koola]

Metal Koola was furious. Those soldiers had came in, beat the shit out of his brother and left. That was not something he liked in the least. He could see them now, running around in their gear and beating up random fighters for kicks. That was something he usually did; watching others do it just pissed him off. ?That's enough of that!? He said, turning to King Cold. ?Father, we can not let them live after what they did to Furiza. The Cold Dynasty must have revenge!? The anger within him was being unleashed in the form of pure energy, highly visible energy. It flowed around him in a sphere of destruction that broke apart the ground underneath him and left him hovering feet above the earth. He clenched his fists and let out a terrifying scream as he rushed towards the ones that had hurt his brother. ?You will pay for your insolence! Today shall be the day you die!? Raising a fist in the air, he flew by the first soldier and placed a hit directly into its skull. The body of the man dropped to the floor, the helmet fell off, and there were shards of skull scattered about... nothing of which actually looked like it could be pieced together into a head. It was a grotesque sight, but it was just the beginning. MK had plenty more in him, and the soldiers had plenty of life left to beat out.

He saw his next victim, who seemed to be pulling out some kind of pistol and aiming it towards the bionic fighter, who was slowly hovering towards his opponent, arms to his sides. The soldier fired blast after blast at Koola, but it was to no avail. The changeling raised his hand and captured every single blast that was fired at him into his ki absorber. The man chucked the gun, hoping it would have more effect than his previous attempt, but luck was not on his side. MK plucked the gun out of the sky and crushed it in his hand, absorbing what was left of the energy within, then dropping it to the ground below. ?Oh, that's nice!? he began to reconcentrate some of the energy he just received back into his hands. ?Let this be a lesson to you!? blue energy was forming around Metal Koola's fists; it was growing larger and larger. He placed both of his hands together, and the energy formed into a single gigantic ball. He shot his palms outward quickly and let loose a scream of ?Hadouken!?

The blue energy ball flew through the sky towards the soldier, who had a horrified look upon his face. It slowly engulfed him, disintegrating as it passed through his body. After a few moments, nothing was left of the Syntax worker except for a pile of dust on the ground where he once stood. The blast however, kept on traveling onwards until it eventually lost momentum and simply disappeared into thin air.

[Burter]

Burter would admit that he had indeed underestimated the giant tan human, and the mistake had led to man disadvantages in the field. But now that he had the general glimpse of the fighter's strategy, he was easily holding his own and slowly keeping control of the fight. Recoome was wearing himself out quick now, shooting first after fist into the reptile's guarding hands, and each one would be knocked away with the exception of the rare punch or kick that got through the defenses.

Recoome, realizing that he needed to pull something to get the reptile off guard, backing up quickly. He shot a couple weak ki blasts at Burter to keep him on his toes, and then firing a larger one. With Burter now distracted, Recoome lept forward through the air, leaning back so his feet stuck out to take the reptile out. His foot slammed harshly against the thick skinned jaw, plowing Burter farther back. Recoome lept forward to continue the assault.

With Burter now hurt, Recoome shot out a volley of offensive shots and manuavers, his fists and legs slamming harshly into Burter's already beaten body. The reptile did his best to avoid all he could as they flew across the sky, going back and forth and trading off blows. Both men were getting incredibly tired and could tell that it was coming to a close very soon.

Both warriors plopped onto the ground, taking a quick rest. They were about fifthteen feet apart, standing in position to fire off one last blast each. Burter began to focus all his energy into the palms of his hands, outstretching them. He shook with nerves, knowing that it would all be up to this one blast. This one shot would make or break his game. Recoome was mimicing his movements, both hands pushing up to the sides and focusing all of his energy.

Simuntaneously, both sets up hands slammed together and the energy blasts shots out. Together, the two shouted "FINAL FLASH!" and let their energy do the work. Both collided in the center and they pushed against the beams, trying their best. Neither was budging and both stayed flat in the center, still using all their momentum to slowly lean towards the other side. Both blasts were incredibly powerful, and together, it would destroy one of the two fighters.

[]18, our fates are in your hands. Judge us up and decide who is eliminated[]

[Raditzu]

A brilliant golden light shot through the terrain, zig-zaging past warrior after warrior. Occasionally, the light would flare and someone would find themselves on their back, but for the most part, it didn't bother anyone else and no one else bothered it.

"Let's see here..." The long-haired Super Saiya-jin looked about, searching for something that would prove interesting. A nice fight to get the blood-pumping would be a great way to start things off. His legs kicked hard off of the ground, and propelled him high into the air. "There's gotta be something worth--" His eyes caught sight of a massive clash of energy. "Yeah... that'll do."

His aura flaring, Raditzu dove towards the brilliant light, a wicked grin spreading across his face as he grew nearer. The bright light was given off by two powerful beams clashing. One of the ki signatures felt familiar, the other one didn't. Raditzu gave little thought to who it could be, there wasn't much point in identifying a corpse. As Raditzu's flight path brought him closer and closer to the clashing beams of energy, his aura whipped into a frienzied whirlwind. He braced himself as his body shot directly between the two beams. The initial impact was a bit jarring, but he had been through worse in his life. He braced his hands outwards, protecting himself from the onslaught of the beams. His ki was flaring at its maximum in order to prevent any serious damage from the powerful attacks. Slowly, his ki vortex twisted the beams off their intended course and sent them crashing into the distance. Raditzu grinned from one warrior to the other.

"Hey, boys. Having fun?"

OOC: Interrupting the Burter/Recoome fight. =O

[Vegeta]

The changeling lurked around the starting location for a moment, he wasn?t sure how or where to start, but he wasn?t sure he wanted to work with his brothers. He set off following the two at a distance, watching for a prey to scatter across his path, but none dared run through the open like that, it would be a risky move and one that was likely to shorten your lifespan. He shot forward as the air swirled and spiraled behind him; he flipped his scouter off and tore through terrain towards his brothers. His ki sense was picking up others better then the standard scouter could, and it only interfered. It wasn?t needed for now; all he could do was hope that no one was trying to contact him. He arrived in the C sector and could sense the outbreak of fighting. So had just about everyone else, this zone would make the scouters light up like a Christmas tree.

He saw his brothers, and Lord Cold. He wasn?t king to him anymore; he had failed as ruler so it was time for his reign to end and the empire to be passed down. The changeling felt there was only one logical choice, himself. He would keep his self proclaimed kinghood to his own, for now. Soon, his empire, the Cold Empire would finally take their place, at the head of the table of the universe. Supreme rule was something that only a changeling would ever see. His brothers fought off a legion of guards; Koola was annoyed by their choice in targets. He roared over to their fight firing large balls of energy into the ground, rupturing the earthen soil and disrupting the conflict, sending a panic through those below.

?Quit wasting your time!? He shouted, whipping his tail around once for effect, ?We have bigger fish to fry.? The plan wasn?t to kill any of the Synex employees, but simply to slow them down enough so that the other changelings could escape their unfair attention. He tossed a look down towards them and shot off in the direction of fights unfolding, hoping that they would follow. Someone?s final moments were drawing near.

An interesting sight came into his vision, a blur of long hair sped through and the changeling knew whom it belonged. ?Raditzu!? His brothers would have to catch up later; there was business to take care of. The air screamed over his body as he caught the Saiyajin?s trail. Drawing near as best he could even though he knew the Saiyajin would soon feel his presence, this was a chase that could easily end in a fight, and likely a death.

OOC: OMFG. I have been like gone for a few days and I have no idea what's going on. So if there's something wrong with this blame yourself you stupid bastards! this has Metal Koola and Furiza (if he's there, I couldn't tell) and King Cold (I think he's there) and Raditzu (OMFG KILL).

[Kami]

Kami glanced over to Bra. He took one hard look at Slug and then let his power level slide back down to normal, still sitting comfortably above Slug's power level. "I suppose, a good fight never hurt anyone. You leave those two alone, and you get me, as is." Kami started to walk away from where Bra was, Slug kept his eyes on the Namek and followed along.

They stopped a little way away from Bra and 14, enough that they would be able to keep the fights from becoming one big brawl - for organizational reasons. Kami took a quick moment to get a good stretch in, making big circles with his arms and bending down to touch his toes. He could see Slug sweating and wanted to make him mill over everything in his head. The more damage he could do before ever throwing a punch the better.

"Ready?" Kami asked. Slug let out an anxious breath and came right at Kami, he was already hurting a little but now was not the time to show weakness. The older Namek knew he had a power advantage in this situation, but he still needed to be on his toes. Slug was not playing around, there was going to be no cocky "warm up round" this was serious.

Maybe I can just beat him until he gives up...I don't really feel like killing him...yet...

Kami ducked a punch and came back in with a quick strike to the torso. Slug flinched in pain but came back up with a strong kick. Kami caught it with his elbow and side, bending himself right into a hook from Slug. The hit to the head was enough to wake him up. They broke apart for a moment and then dove right back into fighting.

The younger of the two came in with a flury of punches, he got lucky and landed a few but they didn't do too much to phase Kami. If anything he seemed to get more angry everytime he got hit, and inbetween those he was parrying and blocking damn near everything SLug threw at him. In a moment of hesitation Kami burst forward, returning the barrage of punches to Slug's mid section. He did his best to keep his hands down to block the hits but only left his head wide open for a slap to the ear.

Slug dropped to the ground hard, his equilibrium screwed up, his ear screaming at him. Kami gave him a quick kick to the stomach which sent him up in the air. He expected to feel the ground below him and instead wound up being held by Kami by the collar of his shirt. Acting fast, Slug grabbed Kami by the wrists and planted his feet on the elder Namekian's chest. He pushed off hard while still holding on and then twisted around, Kami in hand, tossing him over his shoulder and slamming him into the ground.

He quickly jumped on the fallen Kami and pummeled away. He sat on his chest and wailed away with swift vicous punches. Kami was keeping his hands up to defend himself, trying his damnest to get Slug off of him by kicking and kneeing him in the back. Slug wouldn't budge, and was still smacking Kami in rapid succession. As Slug pulled back to send another fist down Kami shot an arm up, showing Slug his open palm in the middle of his face with a small blast of ki resting on it. Kami clentched his fist, causing the ball to explode, setting off a bright flash in Slug's face and giving Kami a chance to send in his other fist to the bottom of Slug's ribcage.

Slug rolled off Kami, groaning as he held his aching side. Kami quickly got to his feet, wiped some of the blood from his face and looked back at Slug. "You can still give up you know." Slug grimmaced, looking back at Kami.

[Burter]

From point blank range, Nappa puked out the devastating beam on Krillins head. It engulfed the human completely, burning the Saiya-jins own hands, but he was not letting go, not before he had ousted his very last drop of energy. This one, had to die...

Krillen was engulfed by the light and let out a terrifying scream of pain, feeling the ki burn into his skin. Though he much stronger, Nappa had put his entire body on the line to end his, and there was nothing he could do about it. Slowly, the blast took his life, and his only hope now luck.

When the smoke cleared, there was nobody standing where the blast had been fired. Blood was scattered around, but that was all that could be seen. Nappa collapses on the ground, breathing deep. He had done it.

It just goes to show you, maybe size does matter.

[]Krillen has been eliminated by Nappa. Nappa is completely drained and extremely tired after that last blast, and will have trouble doing anything unless he gets to a bunker or uses a senzu bean[]

[Bra]

Bra?s emerald eyes burned coldly as she glared at Android 14, completely silenced by the machine?s powerful speech. Though it made sense, the hybrid saw through it, and quickly discounted it as just a final ploy to try and save his life.

?Bullshit.? she retorted, ?You meant all the harm you caused. I already gave you a chance to give up and leave, and you and that green son of a bitch jumped me!!?

?But that was not what-?

?Shut up!!? Bra demanded, blitzing across the gap between herself and the hapless android. She slammed a hard forearm to Fourteen?s face, followed by a quick series of punches to the machine?s chest and head, and threw a knee forward, which Fourteen managed to defend against by placing his hands on the Super Saiyan?s leg, and pushing away from the attack. The android exploited Bra?s opening with a swift, but powerful Masenko blast, pushing the girl a good distance away before exploding. Bra tore out of the newest cloud of smoke, and rushed forth to return to battle. The golden-haired warrior slammed her foot to Fourteen?s gut, throwing him high into the air, with his assailant close behind. Bra overtook the android?s speed, slamming her fists onto the stone-skinned warrior?s chest, sending him flying straight for the ground. The demi-Saiyan phased out of sight, reappearing just below Fourteen in order to throw a vicious knee into the warrior?s already bruised gut. He bounced off, landing sharply on his back, stunned by the speed and strength of his young opponent. Bra could tell that the momentum of the fight was slowing down greatly, and that she had the clear advantage.

?There?s nothing left for you to do, you stupid robot bastard!! When I?m through with you, there won?t be enough metal left to make a paperweight!!? she threatened, increasing her strength once more.

?Then let?s get this over with, Bra! I won?t back down!! I?ll fight you to the death, if that?s what you want!? Android 14 stated with firm defiance. He had been bested, but he still had a chance. As long as he could fight, he was a worthy opponent, and he refused to accept defeat in the face of a possible victory.

?Die, you metal piece of shit!!? screamed the fiery young warrior, ripping apart the ground as she rocketed across it at extreme velocity. Fourteen anticipated Bra?s very forward plan of attack, and leapt over a flying kick, and administered a kick of his own, slamming his toes into the Super Saiyan?s forehead, sending her whirling uncontrollably into the ground with a painful crash. The android dashed after her, only to gasp in pain as a surprise kick sent him through the air, and then to the ground, where he slid forward and fell on his hands and knees. He looked back to see Bra standing behind him, wearing a very malicious expression.

?Such fantastic speed...? Android 14 commented to himself whilst pushing himself to his feet. He turned and faced the golden-haired Bra, who was shaking in anticipation of the android?s next move. It seemed she was thriving off the fight, she even had an excited air around her. In reality, Bra had simply lost herself in her own transformation, despite all of her training to control it, it had been too long since she?d fought as a Super Saiyan in a real battle, and now her anger fueled her to continue on, despite the fact that she recognized the fearsome man with long hair who descended upon Burter and the red-headed mountain of muscle.

No!! I?ll deal with the android first, and then Raditzu! Why did that bastard have to show up HERE!?

The halfling did her best to maintain her composure, but anyone could recognize the nervous expression she so obviously portrayed. Raditzu, one of the only two people Bra truly feared. Android 14 remained still, perhaps this new distraction would give him some sort of opening, or maybe a chance to escape.

Focus!! Kami didn?t help you out for nothing!!

Bra scolded herself mentally, and finally seemed to be prepared for battle, while Fourteen still hadn?t found any way out of what seemed like inevitability. The golden-haired girl?s strength suddenly seemed to increase exponentially, Android 14's scouter scrambling to catch up as the numbers flew upward. A terrible scream escaped Bra?s mouth as she threw her head back and drew unto her well of ki, commanding all of it to flow to the surface, shattering rocks and splitting the ground beneath her. Debris formed a violent orbit around the girl?s shimmering aura, only to be disintegrated by the intense energy flowing outward, accompanied by frightening blue blasts of electricity, before finally, Bra?s voice faded away and her energy seemed to stabilize, just short of her utmost peak energy.

?Well, Android number 14. Consider yourself lucky.? Bra stated, while raising her index and middle finger near her forehead, concentrating as tiny sparks began fizzling in and out of life on her fingertips.

?Wh... What do you mean?? asked the battered machine, confused by the statement of the raging young competitor.

?You get to be the first person to ever be killed by my Giga Cannon.? the halfling replied with a smirk as a green orb of super-concentrated energy formed before her eyes, dancing in mid-air, millimeters above her two fingertips.

Before Android 14 realized what she meant, a thin, electrically charged beam came shrieking through the air toward him. The green energy struck him square against the chest, sending an intense electric shock throughout his system, causing an explosion to rip out of the android?s right arm. The disproportionately strong beam pressed on against Fourteen, who?s feet were tearing up the already beaten land beneath them. Bra smirked, knowing that either of the two outcomes from her Giga Cannon would be satisfactory, so long as that outcome proved to be fatal.

?Die, you bastard!!? Bra shouted, channeling even more energy through the beam.

OOC: Is Android 14 destroyed? Or does he live to fight another day? Staff! You decide! *Suspenseful music*

[Android-18]

The battle had gone on long enough, and finally the young Super Saiya-Jin had had enough. She used a deadly move known to her, The Giga Cannon. It ripped through the air and slammed into her opponent?s chest. The beam was as powerful as this girl was; she pumped every bit of her energy into this deadly attack. It would surely mean the death of this Android. All of her angry flooded toward killing this insignificant warrior, and she would feel quiet glad to be rid of him. It was a pity that the white skinned Android had not just surrender, but the golden haired fighter did not even seem to care now. As she made one final push of power toward her beam an explosion of light and sparks filled her vision.

She had done it; there was no sight of the warrior once the smoke had dissipated. She collapsed top the ground, her golden aura vanished and her cyan hair fell once more against her back. She had put everything into her new technique, foolish, because now she felt utterly drained.

OOC: Android 14 has been killed by Bra, it was close though?Bra is now weak.

[Ruhiel]

As Android 20 sat in the bunker, slowly regaining his strength, his scouter bleeped. An energy signature had just disappeared. But, the one that was now gone, was similar to the same one Krillen had.

"No way... He can't be dead." Android 20 muttered.

Gero flew through to the doorway of the bunker, and saw blood on the ground. He looked farther out, and saw the giant saiyan Krillen was fighting running to the bunker full speed ahead. He realized why. Kirano was floating in the air, and 20 could absolutley feel the human's rage, as a bright blue beam descended from him, to the saiyan below.

Then, he realized what had really happened. Krillen was dead. That saiyan must have done it. He could feel his own anger building up inside him. Krillen was one of the few people who actually accepted him as a person, not some crazy doctor who became nothing more than a machine. He was furious, beyond the point of being furious. He wanted Krillen to be avenged, and if Kirano's attack failed, he would make sure that the saiyan never made it to the bunker.

OOC: Sorry Nappa, but Krillen was a friend of 20, so it would be kinda expected for him to want to kill you too.

[Android-18]

The large human fighter Recoome fought with as much determination that he could muster. The blue skinned creature that was Burter fought with just as must determination as well. They had fought long and hard, but it had to come to an end. Though they were both fit to give up, exhaustion and fatigue ripping at their bones, but they could not. Their beams of power clashed and they struggled against the sheer power of the assault. It could not be helped, though. A blast resulted from the pressure of each beam. Burter was sent flying backwards as the flash and explosion consumed a large portion of the land. He collided with the ground and slid to a stop with a groan. Recoome did not face the same fate, the explosion consumed his very being and the heat and power ripped his flesh apart. A blood curdling scream was drown out by the explosion and once the dust and smoke settled he was nothing but ashes in the wind.

OOC: Burter kills Recoome, but your efforts have not been unnoticed Recoome, it?s been discussed and don?t feel down, expect something good coming your way. Burter receives 5,000 zeni, but he is hurt and weak from the battle.

[Ruhiel]

Android 20 stood at the entranceway to the bunker. He was speechless and enfuriated. Somehow, the saiyan had gotten past him, and survived. He didn't know how. He looked out towards the battlefield known as Area C and spotted the perpetrator. A purple and white changeling stood, standing over Kirano, having tied him up with some form of energy whip. Gero wanted to do something, but his intelligence stopped him at the last second. He donned his scouter and pressed a button on it as he stared at the alien. Numbers cascaded down the screen. Too many numbers. If he went out there now and tried to fight that creature, he would only last a matter of seconds.

"Krillen and Kirano, I'm sorry. I'm just too weak to help you. If I went out there to fight him now, it probably still wouldn't make any difference... -sniff-" Dr. Gero thought to himself, tears running down his face.

He let a weak white aura surround him, as he flew off to a different region of Area C, looking for someone or something to vent all of his anger and sorrow on.

OOC: Thanks Burter and Furiza.

[Android-18]

Kirano was so close, it seemed. The bunker was within his reach, he would be safe from the tyrant. Just as he was flying through the air and toward the entrance, though, he felt something tight around his ankle and he was hitting the dirty ground. He cried out and kicked, looking down he saw Freiza had easily gotten his ankle with his tail, he was a lot faster than the human was. Freiza hauled the fighter up and tossed him away from the bunkerm "Fight me, coward." He roared and waited for the blonde to make a move.

OOC: I'm sorry Kirano but unless you actually make an effort and RP better to beat off the effort Freiza put in you can't escape, maybe someone will be able to help you.

[Ruhiel]

Before travelling too far, he realized he had left something back in the bunker. He shot back as fast as he could and quickly deactivated his now beeping collar. Stepping hurriedly inside, he stumbled into a teal colored mutant.

"Excuse me." Gero muttered.

"It's OK. Wait a minute. You look familiar. Do you really belong to the Red Ribbon Army?" the mutant asked.

"Erm... well, yes I used to, before it was defeated. Now the only two people in it are myself and my son." Android 20 answered.

"Does your son have brown hair and is obsessed with androids?" the teal alien queried.

"Yes, he does have brown hair, and does want to create the ultimate android. Why, would you know him?" Gero asked, quizzical.

"Hmm. That means you must be Dr. Gero, aka Android 20. My name is Zarbon, and yes, I met your son on Earth. Come, there's something I must tell you..."

OOC: Zarbon we're introduced. You can take it from here.

[Burter]

Burter dropped to the ground, tired and beaten. He hadn't expected the warrior to put up such a strong fight, but nevertheless, he had done a good deal of damage. Burter had won the fight, but the cost was a near fatal one. He sat there, breathing deep, waiting for someone, anyone, to help him. He never expected someone would actually come, but he was hopeful. Hoping was all he could do right now.

16 landed next to him after about five minutes of watching Burter rest. He wanted to time it right to where Burter would be able to move a bit, rather then having to carry the reptile the whole way. Burter looked up at the Android, and then saw another figure land. "16...Uub..." Burter said, smiling, and then plopped back to the ground. "Ugh..."

"You too?" Came a female voice. Burter looked up again in surprise and saw the young saiyan girl. She was powered down now, laying in Uub's arms like a tiny child. Burter didn't question what happened, but he assumed she just finished her fight as well. Grunting, 16 lifted him up and propped him on his feet. With his arm slung about the broad metallic shoulders, 16 lifted up into the air, followed by Uub.

When they reached the hillside, Paragus jumped into the air after them, apparantly serving as a last means of support. Burter winked at Bra as they flew towards the bunker, to show he was proud of her. They had been both succeeded. They were both still alive.

"Look Ms. Bulma, look!" Goten cried out, pointing out the window. "Lookie! Here comes your friends!"

The five landed and reunited in the bunker. Bra and Burter sat quietly as the others talked. No one was in this bunker, surprisingly, but no one minded. The twosome of Bra and Burter were sitting the 'recuperation chairs' where they could be healed, and get stocked up on the stasis grenades and senzu beans.

[]All pf PB in Bunker C, the one AWAY from Furiza/Kirano and the one that Nappa isn't in. I'll post in our forum to tell you guys whats up[]

[Raditzu]

"Wow..." Raditzu watched Burter fly off into the distance after defeating Recoom. He trurned towards Koola, who had also been on the scene. "You'd think we were invisible or something." With a burst of ki, he took off after the blue alien. In short time he came upon a bunker, something he had yet to see. Rad wandered towards the facility, hoping they would have something to eat.

OOC: Followed Burter. In the same bunker. I'll think of something else to do from there.

[Burter]

Burter wasted no time getting up, pulling away from the straps that had him secure in the chair that kept him healed. Though he wasn't completly fit, seeing someone like Raditzu gave Burter reason enough to leap out.

Raditzu stopped when he saw Burter, in a fighting pose, stare down the saiyan just in case. It was a safe zone of course, but Burter would take no chances.

"Friend or Foe, Raditzu?"

[Raditzu]

"That's the real question, isn't it?" Raditzu waltzed nonchalatntly past Burter and a bit deeper into the bunker. The layout of these safe houses was the same as the one used in previous Dante's Abyss tournaments, which would prove useful for the long-haired saiya-jin. He walked over to a small computer terminal and tapped at the keys for a moment. The user interface for the bunker's turrents was made pretty idiot proof, and for good reason. Rad wasn't a computer guy, he had never had any real interest in something that didn't make him a better fighter. But this looked like it would be very helpful indeed. He connected his scouter to the computer console, via a small cord provided, and it registered his scouter's Q-Wave identification. In addition, he added a password to the turrents when prompted. "Well... that was pretty painless." Raditzu finalized the process, all of which had taken no more than a minute or two, and headed back towards the blue-skinned alien that had so graciously greeted him. "Sorry 'bout that, didn't mean to be rude. I was just looking for some food, but if you want a fight, just say so." He finished off with a wide grin.

OOC: Actiavted turrent defenses. They'll target anyone not Raditzu, at the moment. For reference, I believe this is the northern bunker of area C.

[Burter]

Burter was a strong man, and he knew it, but not the strongest. As much as he wanted to attack his saiyan rival, he knew it wold be a losing battle and decided against it. He moved back to his chair as Raditzu went down to the turrents. Burter made a mental note to have someone check down there before they left. As Rad came back up, Burter stayed still in his seat, letting himself be healed.

"No," Burter said when offered a fight, "I will pick and choose my battles as they come. This is not a fight I would win," he admitted openly before closing his eyes. He knew that Rad had probably come for the blue skinned reptile, and when it came time, he would need to be ready. Eventually, they would have to fight, and Burter would have to give it his all, or die trying.

For now, though, it might be best to stay on the sayian's good side

[Raditzu]

"But those are my favorite kinds of fights," Raditzu said. He took a couple of steps towards the reptile, and extended an arm. His pointer finger and thumb were extended, forming a crude gun. He placed it on Burter's forehead and made a bang noise.

"Hahahahaha..." Rad turned away and headed to look for some kind of rations or something of that sort. "I'm just messin' with ya, Burter."

[Raz]

"I'm just messin' with ya, Burter." Raditzu said with a before hand chuckle, removing his finger from Burter's forehead... but Goten was curious about the long haired fighter, now standing to Rad's left looking up at him. The long haired fighter's ki signature almost matched that of his father's he had been singled on when after being deprived of his scouter upon the ship bound for Dante.

"Your hair is looong." The half Saiyan said as he looked up to the full blood, a smile spreading across his lips even though there was a hint of awe in his voice. The youth had barely noticed Raditzu's arrival till he had made several steps inward and towards the blue reptile, a pinching feeling in his gut as he had seen the Saiya-jin's actions to his aqua colored friend. Not wanting to fight... but not wanting to have something bad happen to his new found comrade. Even with his uneasy feeling he still wanted to meet the fighter, so he remained standing to the side with a smile directed up towards him.
