Guardinia under siege

[Gareeku]

As Nasrad had been invaded, so had Guardinia in much the saiyan fashion. Ruthless in their methods, the saiyan forces in this part of Dragonia had succeeded in bringing the lands of Guardinia to its knees, the invading warriors not having to deal with much resistance as many of the natives in these lands had surrendered rather than suffer the same fate as their Nasrad counterparts. After successfully bringing the country under their control, the saiyans then proceeded to initiate marshall law, ruthlessly authoritarian in nature, dealing with anyone who even whispered negative things towards their new rulers.

In one Guardinian city in particular, where many rich people lived, stood three figures atop a high building, overlooking the city before them. One of them, recognisable by his blue tail that was gently flicking back and forth behind him, sported a grim expression on his face.
"We were too late..." Gareeku stated grimly, slightly angry with himself that he couldn't have done something to help the natives fend off the invaders. Scenes of the city now under saiyan control brought back painful memories for the warrior; memories from the struggle against the Zenosians some years back.
"We need to get closer. I want to see what exactly these saiyans are up to" Gareeku said, preparing to make his way down the building and into the alleyway below.

[Ryan - Loki]

It hadn’t been too long of a journey, mainly because they had all been in a hurry knowing that they could not waste another second. The land upon the continent of Guardinia, that he had seen so far, varied from one extreme to the over unlike anything he had ever seen since the borders of Bedoe and Lavertia, it was truly amazing and it reminded him deeply of home; he couldn’t let anything happen to this land, or any land upon the surface of Dragonia for that matter. It wasn’t until they all finally landed upon the top of a high building within one of the upper-class cities that the true devastation was realised, Gareeku being the first to speak the words aloud; they had been too late.

Slowly Ryan looked down upon the city below and instantly his thoughts were filled with a mixture of emotions as his eyes came across a mixture of sights, none being good. There was destruction across the entire span of the city, death present all around as lifeless bodies of the few brave souls who tried to resist the invaders had been left in a pool of their own blood where they had fallen to keep others in line, groups of Saiyan soldiers patrolling the streets in full force and the one sight that now seemed to feel as if it had always been there, the now few falling space pods that the Saiyan’s were arriving upon Dragonia within. Glancing slowly back up Ryan looked off into the distance and toward the rest of the continent only to see clouds of black smoke rising up into the air; it was then that he had to look away.

“Damn those monsters…” he muttered softy to himself. It was hard keeping his anger towards these people extinguished but it was completely necessary; he could not afford the creation of another Loki, one seemed hard enough to rid the world of. Time seemed to matter no longer; it was clear that from the sheer amount of Saiyan’s that had landed upon this small continent that the three of them alone could not handle all of them, even when giving every ounce of emotion and power they could muster, it would be a battle that they could clearly not win. This alone was a dreading fact to tumble upon but knowing that even more Saiyan’s had landed across the globe was a much more terrifying one indeed.

Slowly Ryan lifted his head once more, his eyes still closed, before he opened them and looked directly toward Gareeku; nodding in agreement. “Yes, but we must not be seen. There are too many and it would mean either certain death or being captured and tortured…neither option will do the planet any favours.” Ryan said quickly as he once again looked between Gareeku and Crystalina. Turning from them both he walked past Gareeku and simply stepped off of the building, falling quickly down into the alleyway below.

[goddessofthenight]

Crystalina had left her home hastily with Ryan and Gareeku seeing much she had never before seen. It wasn't long until they had reached their destination, Guardinia. It had once been a big city Crystalina could gather that from what was still left of it. Now it looked like something she would imagine seeing at the end of the world. There was destruction, choas, and despair. She could even feel death lurking around the dismal sight. Crystalina paused to look up at the sky which even looked sad and depressing. This was what she wanted tp prevent from happening to her lands. She heard Gareeku speak, that they were too late and it was true but at least they hd found these Sayains now and could follow them and stop them before it happened again. There was talk of getting closer and then Ryan added the fact that they needed to be careful or face death or capture and torture all options that Crystalina refused.

Crystalina followed silently as Ryan made his way down into the alleyway. As always she landed on her feet and paused concentrating on hearing anything the Sayians were doing or talking about.

[Gareeku]

Nodding at his allies in acknowledgment, Gareeku followed Ryan down the side of the building, hiding his power level while motioning for the others to do the same. Landing in the alleyway, the blue-tailed warrior poked his head out of the entrance to look down the street, before quickly bringing in it again as two saiyan soldiers walked past, idly chatting about nothing that seemed important. Waiting for a few minutes and staying hidden, Gareeku then heard more footsteps and more voices.

"Well that went easier than expected" One voice, gruffly sounding, said idly.
"Well, what do you expect? they're only Dragonians for god's sake. After all, they were the ones who attacked first" Another feminine voice replied, slightly angry sounding as it uttered the last part of its comment.
"...attacked first...?" Gareeku whispered in surprise, turning to the others for a second with a raised eyebrow, before turning back to listen.
"Yeah, tell me about it, good thing we've got Turgor as our new leader. He'll make sure these low-life Dragonians pay for killing Patota" the first voice growled, causing Gareeku's eyes to widen slightly in surprise.

The Dragonians had attacked first? it didn't make sense. Why would the Dragonians want to attack someone with reason? Gareeku had certainly not heard anything about this, and if the Dragonians had indeed attacked first, then why had these cities been overthrown so easily? It didn't make sense.
"I guess we better head back to the city base, our shifts are over" the feminine voice said, the other voice grunting in agreement before footsteps were heard getting further away. Glancing back at Ryan and Crystalina, Gareeku motioned for them to follow him.

Poking his head out of the alleyway again and seeing that all was clear, Gareeku quickly dashed down the street until he came across another alleyway, in which he promptly darted into. Inside the alleyway a homeless man looked up at Gareeku with surprise, the blue-tailed saiyan warrior put his finger to his lips, the homeless man nodding in response.

[zaoden]

(Hey admins, check the [e-mail] because I bought Hide Power Level for immediate use!)

Out of seemingly nowhere, a young, unbelievably handsome (almost bishounen-looking) human man dressed in a white tank top, blue jeans, white/navy cross-training sneakers, and black fingerless gloves, and a small humanoid robot (KGB) fade into existence near Gareeku, inside the alley.

His eyes look over to Ryan and Crystalina as he raises a hand in a peaceful, friendly gesture, then quickly back to Gareeku, and he starts whispering.

"Hey there. Don't worry, I'm hiding my power too, and KGB here is a machine and has no detectable power. I'm Zaoden Tatsu, the master of the dojo you collapsed at earlier. I put you in that healing tank even though I didn't know a thing about you. I'm here to figure out what's going on with this saiyan invasion, and it would seem you're here to do the same. I would've used my long-range teleportation technique to join up with you earlier, but I had trouble remembering what exactly your energy signature was like...I only encountered you once, and you were weak and passed out. When you hid your power, I realized it was you all along. My plan was to gather all the planet's powerful warriors at Metapha, but with the situation both here and at Nasrad, splitting up may be better. Besides, KGB here is owned by one of the people fighting the Nasrad invasion, and has a comm link with him."

His eyes look to the street, then back to the other three. "I had already figured there are too many saiyans to handle. The approach I recommended to some of those who are now at Nasrad is to find the commanders and take them out. Without leadership, the saiyans may not have much of a reason to be here."

[Ryan - Loki]

The decent into the middle of the abandoned alleyway had been stealthy and completely in silence, even when their feet had all touched down against the solid concrete below nothing but a soft noise was caused from the impact. Crouching down upon one knee as he landed Ryan wanted to make sure he concealed himself as much from any possible threat, hidden or not, and looking around quickly he deciphered whether or not their current situation was safe; the alleyway was empty, so for now they were. At this point Ryan had already crossed over his arms to the opposite sides of his body and placed his hands around the hilts of his two samurai blades, the Twin Reavers; he wouldn’t be taking any chances in this situation.

Being that the alleyway was clear Ryan slowly began to stand once more, roughly about the same time as Gareeku stuck his head outside of the alleyway for a better look at their overall situation. Suddenly Gareeku brought his head back inside the alleyway and moved against the wall, a clear sign that danger was present or coming. Without thinking, and not even having stood up properly yet, Ryan rolled to his left and crouched behind what he then noticed to be a pile of boxes; Thank the Gods for rubbish. he quickly thought to himself.

Ryan couldn’t see all too well from his position of hiding but two clear voices were more than clear, the enemy. He listened in as closely as he could under the circumstances but much of what they had to say made no sense at all to him but nevertheless it was more information than they had all known previously so anything that was news was a blessing to say the least. Peaking his head out from behind the boxes just enough to see Gareeku Ryan noticed him gesture to leave the alleyway and follow the Saiyan’s as they went back to their city base , this was a good idea to say the least but it did not come without a high risk, not that they had much of a choice.

Slowly Ryan stood, making sure to miss the small puddles of water upon the alleyway floor so as not to make a sound, as he looked back toward Crystalina and smiling reassuringly before nodded in Gareeku’s direction; he then followed on. Slowly moving out of the alleyway and into the street, from the shadows into the light, everything came into full view; including the two Saiyan’s, who had been doing the talking, moving off into the distance not too far ahead of Gareeku. Slowly, and silently, Ryan followed on behind Gareeku, making sure to crouch slightly as he did so to avoid detection. Moving forward Ryan noticed that the floor was stained with blood not before steeping quietly over a lifeless body, his eyes open and staring up at Ryan. Ryan quickly looked back up toward the Saiyan’s and Gareeku, whom had just dived into a nearby alleyway; that was Ryan’s destination too.

As the alleyway near something caused Ryan’s senses to act up a little, his head going slightly fuzzy in the process. He had felt a similar sensation once more in the past but he couldn’t place his finger on when, where or why. Moving his right hand up towards his head he stopped in his tracks for a moment, shaking his head as if to clear the feeling, before it suddenly vanished as if it had never existed; quickly regaining himself Ryan slide into the alleyway and moved behind Gareeku and against the wall, to look out at the still moving Saiyan’s. It wasn’t until then that one of the Saiyans suddenly jerked forward and fell onto his hands and knees; he quickly pushed himself up, rubbing his bum, before turning to the female. “What the hell was that for!?” he screamed out at her.
Looking somewhat confused, yet amused, she laughed and shook her head. “I seriously have NO idea what your on about, but that was funny as hell! What are you playing at diving on the floor?” she asked in reply.
“You kicked me in the ass! That’s why I FELL, I didn’t dive!” he exclaimed.
“Hahaha, no I didn’t you moron!” she exclaimed, now laughing quite hard. “Wait until the guys back at base hear about you being beaten up by yourself, haha.” she finished, starting to walk once more.
Slowly Ryan looked between Gareeku and Crystalina. “…Something’s not right here…” he whispered slowly, rubbing his temple once again. “…I don’t know what or why…but maybe you two should get out of here.” he finished.

[goddessofthenight]

It wasn't long until Crystalina heard somethng. It was two Sayains talking amoungst themselves about how Dragonia had attacked first. She gave a little frown, this was not the story she had heard earlier. Why if they had provoked the attak then surely they should have been prepared for retaliation. It reminded her of the saying, "Don't bite off more then you can chew" and from the looks of the city that had been exactly what had happened. Crystalina watched as Gareeku poked his head out investigating and then started to proceed behind hima nd Ryan. Then it seemed as if out of no where some strange man had appeared and began to tal with Gareeku. She had decided to let him deal with his friend as she continued to lok around examining things, then she heard Ryan make a suggestion. "And leave you to get killed or captured? I don't think so. Besides I can handle whatever it is."

[Gareeku]

Looking out to the street, Gareeku suddenly turned around to see that another person had arrived, causing him to instantly shift into a defensive stance. Upon recognising that it was Zaoden, the warrior smiled.
"Thank for taking care of me in my injured state. I am in your debt" Gareeku said quietly, bowing politely before looking out into the street again, where he suddenly caught a glimpse of a small figure darting into another alleyway down the street. Strange, the figure almost looked somewhat...familiar.
"Well as long as they aren't tackling the saiyans head-on, they should be fine" Gareeku said in response to Zaoden's statement about the others in Nasrad, "Though seeing as they are attacking from another world altogether, I don't think they would bring their higher commanders along. It would be too risky for them I think"

Hearing Ryan suggest that they leave, Gareeku turned to his friend and smirked.
"No way my friend, i'm not leaving you here alone. Besides, a freak and a half-breed should stick together" the blue-tailed warrior said jokingly. Sticking his head back out into the street again, Gareeku checked that it was clear of any threats, which it was, and then continued to follow the two saiyan warriors down the street, quickly moving on his tiptoes, not making a sound at all as he moved, before moving into another alleyway, making use of the street's layout.

By now they were very near the saiyan's makeshift city base, which was in fact the city hall. Watching the two saiyans head inside, Gareeku turned to the others.
"We as least we know where their city HQ is. Obviously we can't attack them head-on, or we would be overwhelmed. I think the best course of action is to use guerilla fighting" Gareekus suggested, thinking of Crystalina's abilities in particular.

[Ryan - Loki]

In his moment of uneasiness Ryan had completely ignored the newcomer by the name of Zaoden, not on purpose mind you as he had honestly not seen him, but finally coming to his senses once more Ryan turned his body half toward him and bowed his head slightly in respect of their new ally. So the Saiyan’s had indeed started a full blown war upon the planet, attacking more than one place at once, this meant that their overall forces had to be almost double of that of the Dragonian forces across the globe, but was that honestly possible? To have that many Saiyan warriors at your dispense at one time, it seemed like a near impossible thought to even consider and Ryan didn’t believe it was possible, but Ryan did believe his eyes and what his eyes saw was over a million space pods descending down upon the peaceful planet to wage war.

Listening to what both Gareeku and Crystalina had to say in reply to what he had requested of them Ryan couldn’t help but smile; it was nice to know that they were willing to stick by him no matter what troubles they faced, the making of true friendships. There was no time to wait though it seemed as the Saiyan’s were moving further away by the second, following Gareeku out of the alleyway once more Ryan was more wary this time as to not fall prey to not only an attack by the Saiyan threat but to whatever it was that had attacked that Saiyan just moments ago; it all seemed safe once more, or as safe as it could possibly be under the circumstances. Quickly darting into the next alleyway, following in Gareeku’s example, Ryan pushed up against the wall side opposite Gareeku, as he listened in to what was being said; it was then that Gareeku gave him an idea.

“One second…” Ryan muttered softly as he looked back outside of the alleyway into the main street. Scanning the scenery for a bit it was then that Ryan’s vision locked onto exactly what he was looking for, two Saiyan men. Suddenly Ryan’s body flickered out of sight before appearing directly behind the Saiyan’s in the middle of the street. This was a risky feet by all means for not only could it go wrong or could someone else see Ryan and sound the alarm but also the sudden flux in his energy could give everyone’s positions away; but it was a risk he had to take. Grabbing a hold of the two Saiyan’s by the shoulders they only had enough time to turn their heads and see Ryan behind them before they all flickered out of sight and appeared back within the alleyway. Quickly Ryan pushed one forward into the wall that was directly in front of them, his head smashing against it causing him to fall un-conscious, while he quickly unsheathed his Twin Reavers and in one swift movement decapitated the other Saiyan at the top of his neck, his now lifeless body falling upon the floor.

Quickly sheathing his blades again Ryan moved onto his knees as he began to remove the decapitated Saiyan’s armour. Looking up toward the rest of the group Ryan thought it best to tell them what his plan actually was, so as to stop them thinking strangely of him anymore than they had begun to. “Gareeku, remove that other Soldier amour and put it on…” he said, motioning for him to do so with his head. “You and myself are the only two in the group who are even partially Saiyan, with these armours we can get inside their Head Quarters and find out possibly some more information, even if only slightly.” he said as he finished removing the armour before standing up once more. After standing up Ryan lifted his own top over his head, leaving his bare chest, before slipping on the top part of the armour. “There…that shall have to do.” he muttered to himself as he turned back towards Gareeku and then toward the others. “Myself and Gareeku have a high chance we will not make it out of that building alive, me only being part Saiyan with partially blue tinted hair, and Gareeku having a blue tail…if you hear anything that’s not of the normal, or you feel in any danger, do not come in after us…flee, flee for your lives and hide. Your death will not help the planet, your much better of alive.” he said, before moving to the edge of the alleyway once more, turning his head back toward them all. “Wish us luck…” he said softly, before turning around and moving out into the street.

[zaoden]

Zaoden hmms. "You sure you don't want to dye your hair and tail, guys? That would help you blend in better. I don't even know your names."

He pokes his head out into the street, and notices it's completely clear. No one can be sensed in the vicinity. He points toward a closed, unoccupied shop. "That's a beauty shop. I hate to do this as it's illegal, but your hair and tail would be instant giveaways. There should be dyes in there. Wait a moment, I'll get black dye for your hair and brown dye for that blue tail."

He dashes across the street to the shop, and ducks into an alley next to it. He tries a window, and finds it's not locked. "Must've been forced out by the saiyans before they could lock up," he comments as he slides the window open and climbs into it. He drops down onto the floor, finding himself in a bathroom. He opens the bathroom door and heads into the main shop. Running over to the dye section, he grabs two bottles, one for black color and the other for brown color. He runs back to the bathroom and tosses the plastic bottles into the alley, where they bounce and roll up against the alley wall. He then hoists himself back through the window and drops back down into the alley. He picks up both bottles and cautiously looks up and down the street. Still no one. He runs back to Ryan and Gareeku, holding out the bottles to them. "Here, these will help you look like the saiyans so you don't have to worry about appearances when inflitrating."

[Gareeku]

Watching Ryan work on getting them some saiyan outfits, Gareeku couldn't help but grin when Zaoden disappeared, reappearing with dye for Ryan's hair and his blue tail. Taking his gi top off and the vest underneath, exposing his bare torso, Gareeku put on the top half of the saiyan armour and rubbed some dye into his tail, turning the normally blue fur a brown color.
"Right, let's go" Gareeku said after Ryan had finished speaking, fastening the saiyan's scouter to the side of his head before heading out into the street.

Walking down the street with Ryan, Gareeku and his friend seemed to be pretty well disguised, the odd saiyan soldier nodding to the two of them in greeting, seemingly oblivious to the fact that the two warriors were not who they seemed to be. A few minutes later, Ryan and Gareeku arrived outside of the city hall which was now the saiyans' base of operations in the city. Approaching the main entrance, Two guards stood before Ryan and Gareeku.

"Hey there guys? finish your shift?" One of them said with a grin.
"Yeah, just glad to get some rest instead of patrolling the city" Gareeku replied, trying his best to get in character. Having been let through, the two warriors now found themselves inside the building. Saiyan soldiers were everywhere, either walking to and from different areas of the building or relaxing on the many chairs and sofas that were dotted around the building, which was surprisingly very tidy and in very good shape considering an invasion had just occured.
so far so good... Ryan would hear Gareeku's voice say in his head as the Krazoa-Saiyan sent a telepathic message to his friend.

[Ryan - Loki]

Having used the black hair dye upon his hair quickly Ryan quickly moved out onto the street once more, side-by-side with Gareeku, whose tail was now a dark brown instead of the unique blue that Ryan had become accustomed to noticing. The day was a hot one in Guardinia, this was nothing that Ryan hadn’t faced in another continent across the globe, but this time the heat would soon have an effect upon Ryan that it wouldn’t as much upon Gareeku; Ryan’s hair dye would soon begin to run down his face, revealing his true identity. Ryan knew they had to move quick, but there was only so fast that they could move without seeming suspicious and being caught out, that would leave everyone in danger and that was the last thing that he wanted.

As he and Gareeku moved closer toward the city hall, the Saiyan’s makeshift headquarters, another Saiyan called out to them. Gareeku having already replied in force Ryan merely nodded his head in reply before they slowly moved inside the great building, and into the lion’s den as it were. Before they knew it the enemy surrounded them, but in the most casual of ways. Some were slouched out over sofas, other lazing around desks and mainly just being lazy all together; this was without a doubt the Saiyan soldiers who were not currently on duty, although Ryan had never heard of a soldier being off duty at the start of a war, they had to be confident. For the base of a war he place seemed in pretty good shape overall, and that was Ryan’s thoughts when he suddenly heard Gareeku’s voice inside his head. Telepathy… Ryan thought to himself. Perhaps if Gareeku could speak to his mind he could also read it, their best form of communication at the moment. Gareeku, we need to find the person who’s in charge here, see if we can hear anything or find anything that may help us against these foes…although I do not know what could. Ryan thought within his head, hoping Gareeku was listening.

Thinking to himself Ryan wasn’t looking exactly where he was going and before he knew it he had stumbled backward slightly, it causing him to come to his senses; he had bumped into possibly thee most huge thing with a brain. “Watch were your walking idiot!” the Saiyan screamed out.
It almost being second nature Ryan bowed his head before speaking. “My apology-Get lost freak, before I force you to.” Ryan said coldly before barging past him and walking down the next corridor with Gareeku. He had almost given the game away with his good nature and correct manor of speaking; he couldn’t afford to do that again. Perhaps I should not speak again friend. Ryan thought for Gareeku to hear.

[Gareeku]

Gareeku was about to answer Ryan's suggestion about looking for a saiyan in charge when he saw Ryan bump into a very large saiyan warrior. When Ryan came back up beside him and mentally suggested that he not talk, Gareeku couldn't help but smirk. It seemed that Ryan was sometimes too nice for his own good.
ha ha, ok my friend. We better find out where the person in charge is Gareeku replied telepathically.

Walking up to the nearest saiyan near them, a long haired female, Gareeku tapped her on the shoulder.
"hey you, where do we find who's in charge here?" the Krazoa-Saiyan said bluntly. Turning round, the female gave the two warriors a raised eyebrow before smiling seductively.
"Hey there cuties, you just arrived? Jentan is upstairs in what used to be the mayor's office. After you've gone for your briefing, give me a shout and we'll go for a drink" the woman said before walking off. Looking at Ryan, Gareeku rolled his eyes.
heh, seems nearly every female saiyan we've encountered is horny. They must not get much back home Gareeku jokingly said mentally. He was normally pretty shy about these things, but sometimes he could certainly be cheeky if he wanted.

Making their way upstairs, Ryan and Gareeku soon came to the entrance of the mayor's office, or what it used to be at least. Gareeku just about to open the door when he heard voice from inside.
"Yes sir, i'll begin the next phase as soon as possible. The platoon of soldiers due to arrive in the Zolan Lands are on time sir" one voice said.
"Good, Turgor wants this plan to go as smoothly as possible, so don't screw up" another voice said, sounding as if it was coming from a communications device.
"I won't sir. This is for the glory of the Lunos colony, I will ensure that everything goes to plan" the other voice replied.
"good, because Turgor will have our tails if we mess a single thing up. Lunos out" the second voice said.

Looking at Ryan, Gareeku's surprise was written all over his face. There was a colony of saiyans on Lunos?! This was most certainly a surprise. Gareeku was about to say something mentally when suddenly he felt something on his tail. Looking down, Gareeku's face had a look of surprise and a certain degree of panic to find that the dye was beginning to run off of the fur, exposing patches of its natural blue colour.
"Oh shit..." Gareeku muttered.

[Ryan - Loki]

Having turned the down the next corridor they quickly moved over toward the nearest Saiyan to ask for directions, as stupid as that may have sounded. The Saiyan they had stopped next to had been a female, roughly twenty years of age, a slender figure, long thick hair and a beautiful overall look to her; Ryan was quite intrigued, this was the first time he had ever really seen a female Saiyan up close and had the time to admire her beauty. Being that he wasn’t going to say anything, in fear of blowing their cover, Ryan could do nothing but stand next to his slightly taller counterpart and stare at her; not exactly charismatic to say the least. Gareeku having spoken to her she gladly gave up the information that had been requested, their cover was working a treat, before seductively hitting on the both of them.
As they walked away Ryan turned his head back around to look at her, wanting to talk to her, but he knew he couldn’t; he gazed at her in awe as she moved away in the opposite direction, just long enough for her to turn around and blow a kiss in their direction before vanishing behind a wall. Turning back around Ryan heard what Gareeku had telepathically said to him and it made him laugh, which probably made him look quite odd to everyone around. Hah, I agree friend; tis a shame they see us as enemies. Ryan replied, in thought.

Soon thereafter both Gareeku and Ryan made their way up a flight of stairs as they near reached the end of the directions that the female Saiyan had given them. Things looked a lot nicer up here, this area having obviously been for someone important, and this all became obviously clear when they finally reached directly outside of what used to be the mayors office; voices could be heard from within. For a few moments both Ryan and Gareeku stood there and listened carefully to what was being said within. While listening Ryan suddenly came over strange once more; that feeling from out on the street had returned.

Slipping from concentration Ryan suddenly slouched against the wall and rested his hands against his temples as he suddenly heard Gareeku curse. Looking down towards Gareeku’s tail it become ever so clear why, his tail was turning blue once again. It seemed that the overall heat of the building was causing the dye upon his tail to melt quicker than had been expected, and that meant one thing. Slowly Ryan moved his hand from his temple over to his hair, running it through it before moving it back in front of his face. “Oh no…” Ryan muttered to himself. His hair dye had already begun to run down his forehead, if someone was to see them right now their cover would surely be blown and that would almost mean certain death. It was then that it suddenly struck him, him pressing himself up against the wall with a look of shock upon his face. “Oh God no…” Ryan said, his voice suddenly becoming slightly shaky. “…His inside!” he finished.



Inside the room the Saiyan, probably known as Jentan, was busy in conversation when suddenly a voice appeared from nowhere. “You know…being evil is one thing, but trying to take over my planet…no you see, that doesn’t lie well with me.” the voice suddenly said. Jentan continued to look around a room that seemed to be completely empty apart from him, an expression that not only looked confused but also slightly worried upon his face. Before he had the chance to even reply to the mysterious voice it spoke again, this time clearly from behind him. “Saiyan scum…” the voice said, Jentan instantly spinning around on the spot to look up to where the voice seemed to be coming from; this time his eyes were met with that of another’s.

Up against one of the very top corners of the room crouched a man with long flowing white hair, it almost silver looking, dressed in black leather except for his torso, which was covered in nothing but an open coat that seemed to fall down to his ankles in length, but the attribute that stood out most of all upon this figure was his eyes, which burned a crimson red, a glow that almost seemed to leave the very sockets they were within. “It’s hard to believe that my mother was part of your race…” the voice finished.
“Who the hell are you and how did you get in here?!” Jentan shouted out, his fist clenched.
The figure laughed as it looked over towards the door. “Why don’t you ask those two outside?” he said, shaking his head while laughing to himself still. “And to think our race has survived this long when two mediocre warriors could infiltrate your headquarters...heh, how pathetic.” he finished.

[zaoden]

Watching Ryan and Gareeku go toward the saiyan base, Zaoden gets a bad feeling about all this. He looks at Crystalina and says to her, "I'm going to circle around and try to keep an eye on them through the windows while keeping myself hidden. It's likely the commander they're trying to find is wherever the mayor used to have his or her office. I don't know how good the dye is, so I may have to use my Heikou Idou teleportation ability to get them out if they blow their cover. I just hope they remember I can do that and telepathically message me if they're able to."

Zaoden runs to the other end of the alley, where it joins up with the next street over. Having sensed a couple of saiyans on patrol on this street, he ducks behind a dumpster while they walk past. He waits until they're out of sight, then pokes his head out of the alley and looks left and right. Not a soul can be seen. He looks back to Crystalina and says, "All clear."

He then runs down the street until he reaches the building next to the city hall. He can't sense anyone, saiyan or not, inside this building. In fact, it seems like the place has been looted, as the windows on this side are smashed, the doors are off their hinges and laying inside, and there's hardly anything of value inside. Different-colored places on the walls, floor, and ceiling show where various objects used to be. He circles around to the window facing the city hall, and watches Gareeku and Ryan head inside, taking care to keep himself hidden from saiyan eyes while doing so. He ducks down and moves to another window. Looking through this one, still taking care to keep hidden, he sees them heading to the stairwell.

He keeps low and moves to the stairwell in this building. Like the entrance doors, the door here has been taken off its hinges and is resting against the landing to the basement, having obviously been slid down the stairs. Visible at the bottom of this stairwell is a similar door, labeled "R", also removed from its hinges.

He runs up the stairwell and emerges onto the rooftop, and keeping low, heads to the side facing the city hall. This building is shorter than the one Gareeku and Ryan are inflitrating. Fortunately, there's a brick wall tall enough to crouch behind running all along the rooftop edge, in order to prevent accidental falls.

Keeping himself concealed behind the wall, he sees through a window Gareeku and Ryan standing before a big door with different emblems around it. "Must be the mayor's office, now the commander's," he mutters. A flash of panic crosses Gareeku's face as he looks at his tail, and Ryan looks afraid as he touches his hair, looks at his hand, and presses against the wall.

"Shit," Zaoden mutters as he puts two and two together and infers that the dye's coming off. He can't see anyone besides Gareeku and Ryan through the window, so he picks up a pebble and tosses it at the window. The pebble bounces off the window with a "bap", and if Gareeku and/or Ryan hear the sound and look in his direction, he'll reveal just enough of himself so they know it's him. Then, if they look at him, he'll make a crossing | - motion in the air to form a "t" for teleport while pointing at himself. Hopefully they'll get the hint he can get them out of there right away!
