Shiro landed the small ship in a large patch of grass on a random part of the planet. Pulling out his radar, Shiro checked the locations of the seven dragon balls. After a moment he frowned. "That's odd. There's this one group of seven balls here, but then there's another ball several miles away." He looked over at Cacao. "There's only supposed to be seven in a set, right?"

Cacao's right brow raised in confusion, pulling out her own Dragon Radar and taking a quick look at it just in case Shiro's was malfunctioning or something.
"Hell if I know...but weren't there only seven before that mimic attacked?"

"Yeah..." Shiro muttered, turning back to the radar. And I'm pretty sure there's only seven in a set, so what with this eighth signal? "Well, what do you say we go find this lone ball first? Who knows, maybe there really are eight and that's the last one those freaks need."

"It's that or go after the seven and face that mime again..." Cacao muttered, pondering just what was waiting for them at the spot where seven of the Dragon Balls had been gathered. And she had a pretty good feeling that it was likely a trap of sorts.

Shiro took that as a 'yes' and nodded, turning back to the controls of the ship and pressing the button to open the door. "Ladies first," he said, standing and gesturing to the open door.

Cacao was out the door before Shiro had finished speaking, a sigh escaping her as she was once again met with green oceans and blue grass. She knew that she would never get used to the god damn palette-swapped planet no matter how many times she visited.

Shiro followed Cacao and pressed the button to capsulize the ship. Turning towards the source of the dragon ball's signal, Shiro checked his scouter, noting a higher than average power in that direction. "Well, let's be off." And he flew off.

She took off after him, slowing herself down enough to make sure she didn't get ahead of the human. She couldn't quite sense the person who had the lone Dragon Ball and she didn't feel much like focusing to do so. After all, slowing herself down and keeping afloat was enough for her concentration at the moment.

Shiro spotted the redheaded person who'd told them about the whale android's attack. What was his name? Asparotto? Asparo? Landing, Shiro approached the Saiyan, waving. "So, you've kept your dragon ball?"

Cacao landed nearby, keeping her senses open in case a certain mime decided to come after them. That was what had happened the last time and she definitely didn't want a repeat of that incident...
/There's nothing we can do to stop a surprise attack if it's the whale, though.../ She noted.

Turning to see Shiro and Cacao approach. He nodded and replied, "Yes I have managed to hang on to the ball though it's actually shocking no one has come after it yet."

"That is surprising," Shiro murmured. Maybe they're just waiting for us to attack them? They could've been spending this time setting up defenses wherever they are.

/So he's had his ball all along...And there are seven others excluding his.../
"We may have to walk right into their trap if we want to get the other seven..." She muttered, not liking the idea at all. With those two still alive and the possibility of a certain whale being as competent as that mime, it would definitely be hellish to even approach the orbs.

"I've put a good deal of thought into the situation and I think I know why he has seven dragon balls," Asparago said rubbing his chin.
"One of the balls from earth must be here, one of the black star balls. As for the plan of attack, I think the two powerhouses we have already fought are the only two we really need to worry about. I fought the leaders other forces and they are a bunch of push overs. We potentially have one more thing going for us he probably doesn't know you have to make your wish in Namekian."

Shiro cocked an eyebrow. He didn't know that the wish needed to be in Namekian, either. Geez, thanks Noru, you certainly told me everything I needed to know, didn't you? Shaking his head, Shiro said, "If they really do have one of the Black Star balls, then that means we can't waste any more time. We've got less than a week before Earth blows up."

"It doesn't matter what or who YOU dispatched easily..." Cacao said, recalling the battle with Ohce near immediately.
"The second we go near those balls is the instant we step within the territory of a complete monster..." She glanced towards the sky, pondering just what they were going to do once they got there. She could only hope the whale wasn't on par with that damn mime...

"Well isn't someone being a bit moody," Asparago said with a bit of a sniff. "If you don't want all the facts you can get, fine I'll stop talking see how well you do then." The girl clearly needed an attitude adjustment if she was going to become a true Saiyan warrior, since she had become so much stronger since last time she should be excited to try her new strength out on an opponent who had bested her in the past.

Shiro sighed at Asparago's comment. Oi, aren't you supposed to be the mature one here, old man? Then act mature, instead of snobbish.
"Anyway, if we're gonna win against those guys, we're gonna need an actual plan. I say we leave the dragon ball we have here, suppress our power, and fly in on my ship. A sneak attack, maybe even while one of their powerhouses is out getting the ball we leave."

"And if the whale or that mimic don't come running out after the ball?" Cacao ignored Asparago for the moment, considering Shiro's suggestion. Sure, she wanted to beat Ohce into the ground after that last fight, but she wasn't stupid.
/What we do now...We can't make even a single mistake.../

"we could alway have two people fight the big guns while the third goes after the dragon balls," Asparago suggested. This was probably their best bet of actually getting the balls with minimal fuss but high risk.

"Except the two of us almost died against just one of those guys." Shiro replied to Asparago. "At most, we'd be able to stall them for the third to take the dragonballs, but once the first two are down, it wouldn't matter. The mime and the whale would just gang up on whoever's left." He crossed his arms, frowning in thought. "Maybe we should call in backup?"

Post by Cacao on Mar 24, 2010 23:15:01 GMT -5
Cacao looked towards the human, a brow raised in confusion. She couldn't really think of any backup that they actually had that wasn't currently busy with something else.
/Just what the hell is he talking about...?/

"If we can't get someone, then why don't we try to destroy the ship with them inside it. If we have the element of surprise it shouldn't be to hard and we might just get lucky and fry everyone inside," Asparago suggested.

Shiro rose an eyebrow at Asparago. "I somehow doubt that just blowing up a ship will hurt these people too much." As he spoke his hand went up to mess with something on his scouter. "Besides, if these people really do have one of the Black star balls, then Ace and Reiji should come help get it, don't you think?" Finally finding the option he wanted, Shiro pressed a button and linked his scouter to the demi-kai's.

Cacao paused as she remembered something, flashing back to when Ace had confronted her and asked her to kill him. She had heard a voice in her mind that had warned about the Kai's suicidal tendencies...and she could swear that the person speaking had identified themselves. But she couldn't quite remember the name...

"They'd better get here soon," Asparago mumbled to himself. He was beginning to get that antsy feeling he always got before a big fight. He was almost literally chomping at the bit. He was starting to get that saiyan glint in his eye.

Shiro ignored the other two as he spoke with Ace, even walking away from them a bit. So he's working on his sixth, huh? We might just get the last one back in time to keep Earth from exploding.

Meanwhile, Cacao seemed to be concentrating on something, trying to remember the events of a certain day. Her memory was slowly beginning to get a bit clearer, though there were still things that escaped her grasp.

Asparago started playing with his scouter. Besides the two readings closest to him it only detected one other power level of significance which was over in the direction of the Dragon balls. Soon he was going to be able to test his strength for real.

Post by Shiro on Mar 25, 2010 21:29:48 GMT -5
Shiro pressed another button on his scouter, then walked back to the other two. "Ace is working on the sixth ball now, so once he's done he'll come back here."
