[Thread PL:80]

Cauri wasnt far off from this strange pair. One of them was fairly normal strength wise, nothing to look twice at. But the other? She felt even stronger than her! At least she did on paper, skill she supposed would be something else. But still when she sensed her energy from afar she felt the need to come here. She had every intent of challenging her to a duel when she got here but....

She was drinking tea!

That's all she was doing, sitting there with the child not far off from her playing with her. She didnt know the relation between the to... but the kid at least was a saiyan like her. But the woman was the main concern here! She had strength like that but she was... so passive! Didnt she want to fight anyone? Drinking tea like that was... really borning wasnt it??? How could she stand it!

But where was the young crane student? Why she was hidden cleverly behind the nearby light pole of course, just out of sight where no one could see her! Observing this.... well their was no way she could be a saiyan like the child right? Saiyans like her were fighters! Yep! She had seen quite a few already, and the Master told her how her parents were great fighters to! So this just had to be... a human, yeah that was it! But... even the humans she saw who were strong like that were because they liked fighting! So... what was up with this woman! How could she possibly be stronger than her? She had been training all her life dang it! This wasnt even remotely fair! No their was only one way to settle this!

Cauri came out from her totally secure hiding spot and pointing at the woman sipping her tea, when she came in range she pointed an accusing finger her way-callong out confidently.

"Hey you, blue hair lady! I wanna fight you! Like... right now!"

Yeah that was the only way... she had to know for sure what was going on here.... she wasnt about to accept that some girl drinking tea so casually was stronger!


...Yep she got right into a stance and everything... fully assuming the woman would accept.

Earth was certainly a very interesting planet, so far. There was a girl demanding a fight in front of Kosho, who reminded him a lot of himself, and another woman sitting on a bench, just having tea. Of course, we can't forget about the boy playing with the toy airplane. Out of nowhere, the girl standing up in front of the woman on the bench jumped into the air, spun in the air, and landed with her hands on her hips. It was almost as if she was trying to show off her athleticism, extremely proud in her slight maneuver. Kosho was sure the girl had her reasons, but it looked a little too much at the moment. Why...did she do all that? Immediately afterwards, Kosho looked down and saw the young boy coming right towards him with said airplane.
"Woah!" Acting quickly, Kosho scooped the boy up, using the kid's momentum to turn himself around and put him back on the ground to keep running away from Kosho. I am the guardian of the airplane. Oh, crap, I hope I didn't make the lady upset for picking up her son! Laughing a little, Kosho scratched his head, showing that he didn't mind the situation.
"That was close! It's okay. As long as the pilot isn't hurt, then it's all good."

Sure enough, the woman sitting down on the bench in front of Kosho, was in fact Commander Sabine. Before he could even react to her introduction, she told him that she wasn't his superior right now. She was off duty. However, her telling him this just confused him, a little bit. So...I guess I just call her Sabine, right? Kinda feels weird, having to call my Commander by just her name. Well, there's no use making a big deal about it. Thankfully enough, she told the soldier to relax. If not, he would have bowed to her and address her as "Commander Sabine" a lot. He may not be too familiar with the Earth hierarchy or Earth authorities, but the Saiyan authorities and patriarchy was a different story.
"Then, Com- I mean, Sabine. It's nice to be able to meet you. I'm Kosho. I've heard some stories about you."

The woman standing next to Kosho and Sabine was obviously annoyed she wasn't getting her fight. As much as Kosho related to her, the situation right now didn't feel like a fight would start. He would be more than happy to spar with her for the time being, but just then, Sabine offered tea and muffins. Oh, hell yes, food! Though it might just be muffins, it was still food. Kneeling on the floor, Kosho graciously accepted the tea and muffins offered by his commander. With one hand, he popped muffins in his mouth. With the other, he tried his best to sip the tea, and not chug it down like a savage. He knew this much about tea: it would be a little rude to just chug it down like it was some power drink. The Saiyan looked to Sabine's son, watching over him and the airplane for a little bit. Then, he turned his attention to the other girl there, who was now very furious about something. It was about them being Traditionalist Saiyans.

Kosho would normally be really offended by what she was saying. Of course, that would usually be the case, but she seemed to pause a bit with her choice of words. Looking to Sabine real quick with a raised eyebrow, the Saiyan then looked back to the girl, swallowing the muffin in his mouth before talking.
"Uh, I mean, I understand you wanna fight, but what did we do for you to want to beat us up? And what do you have against us Traditionalist Saiyans? I'm fine with having a friendly spar with you, too, but after I finish these muffins. They're surprisingly really good! Do you want one?"
Standing up to face the girl, Kosho put the tea aside, thinking of a way to try and defuse the situation. Other than being Saiyans, the one other thing he figured the girl and him had in common was loving to fight. Maybe he'd be able to help in some way a little bit later, and maybe right now was actually the time for kindness instead of being hot headed. Of course, his pride was a little hurt, and if she kept provoking them like this, Kosho would just end up getting angry.
"I'm Kosho. Uh, what's your name?"

The older woman was was a Commander among the imperial saiyans it seemed. The other was a soldier under her it seemed. And now... he was casually joining her. This fact only further annoyed the young saiyan as she began flailing her arms in annoyance as the situation kept getting weird for her. They were saiyans. More than that they were IMPERIAL saiyans. They should love fighting even more than her! That's why she was sure, she had always been sure.

Imperial Saiyans were the ones that killed her parents


Master never told her or what specifically killed her mom and dad-only that it was a gigantic monster. A wild feral monster who tore apart everything in it path. That only fit two creatures she knew of. The giant dinosaur, namely T-Rex's that wandered earth. Or the giant monkey Oozaru-The transformation inherent to saiyan kind. Their was no way some pumped up dinos could have defeated her parents. Most of the earthling saiyans she knew ether took great pains to avoid the moon-or ether removed or didnt have a tail to begin with. That meant the only logical answer was that it was an Imperial Saiyans! All the ones she met were jerks, even when she was little! She had no problem believing one was evil enough or u caring enough to unleash such a beautiful, wild transformation without care. They were the most vile heartless people she knew!

And yet....

"Their both.... just snacking now...."

He asked what her problem was. That made Cauri's blood boil. Selfish selfish selfish! These ones mocked her all together differently than the others. The male simply wanted to put off the fight, and the woman simply had no intrest in fighting her. Was she took weak a rat for them? To weak a rat to step on?

"My problem is that your evil!"

She finally called out, tears in her eyes. she was certain she was right that she was fully willing to call out in this manner. It didnt help that they kept rejecting her (what she was seeing as rejection that is to say)


"People like you... are why mon and dad are dead so stop making a game out of this... stop it... stop it..."

It was hard for her to keep up her anger, not because it had lessened any-but because sadness was quickly taking its place as tears formed in her eyes.

"This is not a joke! stop treating it like a joke! I'm Cauri! do you hear me? Cauri!"

She finally answered the boys question but she remained upset. They treated it all like it was nothing. Causually offering her tea biscuits.. TIPS?! She had no desire for tips from people like her!

"Stop.... stop lying to me! stop all this... all of it! Get up, fight me! that's all I want!"

She was a mess at this point, her emotions washing over her. In her eyes these two were making fun of her. Of her pain, her sorrow! With every fiber of her being.....

She hated traditionalist saiyans

Sabine smiled as she watched the two boys interact. It warmed her heart to see her son getting along with others like he did here. She always worried about Kabucha being able to make friends. Although Kosho was...Quite a bit older than her son, he seemed pretty respectable. She would certainly trust the saiyan soldier around her son.

Although she shook her hands in nervous defiance as he stated that she didn't need to downplay herself. It wasn't necessarily that so much as...Her reputation tended to overshadow who she was as a person.

"O-Oh no no! I promise I'm quite confident in myself. But...Thank you. Your kind words mean a lot to me."

She let his accidental naming slip by without bringing it up to him. It was an understandable thing that was hard to just...Drop. Imperial saiyans — Herself included put a lot of stock in hierarchy. She didn't feel it fair to "scold" him when he corrected himself. Although her attention was drawn away from the saiyan lad as Cauri was becoming audibly upset. And then Cauri dropped the bomb...Her parents were killed by imperials?

"...Miss Cauri..."

Sabine stood up.just as Kosho had, calmly approaching the younger saoyan girl.

"...No, Cauri."

Sabine corrected herself. Now wasn't the time for "Miss" and fancy nicities. It was those things that caused Cauri to become so upset to begin with. In some ways it reminded Sabine of her late husband when he was a child. He took combat seriously enough to cry over it too...Sabine stepped forward calmly, wrapping her arms around Cauri and pulling her into a hug — Provided Cauri would allow it.

"There's no need for tears. If a fight is what you want most of all..."

Again, if allowed Sabine would very gently pet Cauri, then step away, smiling at both Cauri and Kosho.

"... Then I suggest a fight, and a wager."

Sabine tightly gripped the shoulder of her coat, and then tossed it aside with some force, causing it to catch with the wind and float harmlessly down into the park bench. She watched as Kosho spoke, offering to let Cauri hit him for free. It was a good thought, and a kindness that would mean a lot in any other situation
... But Sabine felt that it would be an insult to Cauri's honor as a saiyan not to give her the fight she wants so badly.

"If I win, you tell me more about your parents. If you win...You may claim your superiority above imperialists as you wish. And if Kosho here wins..."

... Sabine stopped, looking confused as she looked over to the lad. She actually...Wasn't sure what he would want out of a wager.

"... He can have...Whatever it is he wants from you."

Sabine took on a fighting stance, smiling at Cauri and waiting for her to prepare. The older saiyan woman hoped that this would go a long ways towards cheering the girl up.

Cauri Kosho

Getting on the good side of Sabine seemed like a random dream at first, but now it was becoming a reality for Kosho. He was happy, to say the least, that he wasn't necessarily making her uncomfortable in any way, shape, or form, and was pleased with the progress he was making. The soldier was finally making more friends on this planet, and with his own commander, nonetheless. Man, if only my parents heard about this! Not only that, but he was also getting along with her son quite well. Even if he was significantly younger than him, it'd be fun to be around the kid and see him grow. I COULD BE LIKE AN UNCLE OR SOMETHING TO HIM! HOLY HELL THIS IS AMAZING!! This Saiyan was probably too excited to become close with the young boy, but who could really blame him? Kosho had no siblings, no cousins worth noting that he hung out with, no nothing, except for his parents. This was something he could definitely only dream about.

Everything seemed to be getting very tense in this short amount of time. Watching Sabine throw off her coat was only something Kosho could describe as- OH, MY GOD, SO BADASS!!! I NEED A COAT SO I CAN DO THAT!! Maybe in the future, Kosho. You're not ready for a coat. Maybe a cloak? Anyway, there was no way Kosho was opposed to Sabine's offer at all. In reaction, he smirked and tightened his headband, preparing himself for a battle. That was true, though. What was it Kosho wanted? Thinking about it for a slight minute, he looked to Sabine and gave her his response.
"I want her to punch me in the face...and become my sparring partner."
However, before Kosho could exactly take a fighting stance, Cauri reacted in a way that he didn't expect.

Kosho watched as Cauri tightened her grip in her hands, and eventually reeled it back to punch him in the face. Oh, right, can't react to it. Keep standing still. That's exactly what he did. He didn't move an inch, his face didn't react at all. The Patch soldier became as solid and still as a boulder. He was confused, however, about why she didn't send her punch to him, yet. Her hand was reeled back and ready to go, but it just stayed right there. It didn't move an inch, just like he didn't. Kosho raised an eyebrow at this, now visibly confused, but he still didn't say anything. He didn't want to make the situation any worse than it already was. She began to speak, thankfully. However, that speaking was immediately followed by her dropping to her knees. At that moment, Kosho broke formation and staggered a bit. He didn't even know how to react in that given point in time.

Cauri was crying now, and she was very clearly saying she didn't want to fight and that she didn't want to punch Kosho in the face. The situation was defused now, but it wasn't a happier tone. A frown formed on Kosho's face, and his own body moved on its own. He knelt down next to Cauri, but didn't lay a hand on her. The Patch soldier didn't really know if it was right for him to do so. He wasn't exactly like Sabine who could just openly hug a person who is hurt, who is naturally docile and caring like her. At the same time, he wasn't someone who could just ignore someone in pain.
"Hey, it's all right if you don't want to punch me or fight. We aren't gonna force you."
Cauri's face was visibly confused and sad. There was no doubting that. At this very moment, the priority was her. Kosho wouldn't even dare do anything that would make her face even more confused or sad.

As he knelt down next to Cauri, Kosho listened to the story she had to tell them. It was about her past, about her parents' death. Kosho may have been a little slow on the uptake in certain aspects, but this was one thing he wasn't slow in the slightest about. He didn't want to say it out loud, and he wasn't going to either, but it sounded to Kosho like the scenario Carui described was in fact an accident brought up by her transformation. The soldier looked up to his commanding officer, his eyes full of concern and realization. If his look would communicate anything to the person it was directed to, it would be "should we tell her?" From what she's saying, it seems pretty obvious that she transformed into the Oozaru after looking at the moon. There's no other explanation, unless she was really sick or something at that point in time, but she doesn't tell us any of that. If she were to find out that she was the one who took her parents' lives, who knows what could happen here and now? Maybe, it's not such a good idea to tell her...but then what do we do? 

Kosho sat down next to Cauri, his tail wagging a bit. He wanted to try and calm her down, so he decided to do something he was good at doing: complimenting. Or at least, as much as he could without being offensive or hurtful.
"Well, one thing is for certain, your parents are badasses for going up against an Oozaru like that. They're extremely powerful, which only speaks wonders about how powerful your parents were. I wish I coulda been able to meet them."
Kosho leaned back with his hands holding himself up, looking up to the sky as he looked for his next words. When he finally found them, he continued looking up to the sky, but his words were directed to Cauri.
"I understand your situation, now. All I can really say is that I'm sorry to hear that about your parents. I'm sure that they're looking down at you and they're proud of you, even right now."
For the final sentence, Kosho finally broke away from the sky and looked towards Cauri, flashing a friendly smile her way. Hopefully, he was able to calm her down a little more. Did I do good? Please don't tell me I made it worse.
