"Talking"

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Well, now that we've got that dealt with," Gray casually raised his hand toward Piccolo, "Senzu bean?"

"You're wasting one on that man?" Piccolo asked, a slightly disappointed look in his eye. Despite his words, he chucked a Senzu bean at Gray, which he caught casually.

"Relax," Gray waved dismissively, "He has his uses. And, he won't try anything, will you Raditz?"

Gray tossed the Senzu bean at Raditz's downed body, the green bean landing in the snow in front of him. Raditz looked up at him, but the man simply gave a slight nod. 

"Eat that," Gray ordered, gesturing to the bean.

Raditz nodded again, then leaned forward, biting into the snow and chewing on the bean.

His bruises, scars, and burns started to fade away. Then, a green glow appeared at both ends of his dismembered arms. Raditz let out a pained grunt, and suddenly two new fresh limbs shot out from the stumps.

"W-What the hell?" Raditz muttered, pushing himself up as he stared down at his regrown arms.

[Rough] Raditz:

[Saiyan Elite]

Age: 29

PL: 705,850,120

HP: 950,725/950,725

TKI: 622,980/622,980

Reputation: -4000/5000 (Hated) (Feared)

[Rough] Modifier - Individuals with this modifier will be naturally talented in "rough" situations, such as training, sports, etc.

That much stronger in an instant from a Zenkai boost, huh? Being a Saiyan really is OP.

"You thought I wouldn't have something for those?" Gray asked, gesturing to Raditz's arms, "If you were going to stay armless, then I'd have just killed you."

Raditz didn't answer, the man still staring in slight awe at his new arms.

"Alright, stop gawking so much," Gray hummed, walking over and pushing the man lightly toward the hatch the Saiyan squad had come up from. As he did, Raditz flinched slightly, looking up at him, and then over at the hatch.

Damn, maybe I went too far. Whatever, too late now.

"There should be a leader for the Frieza Force members stationed here, right? Bring us to him," Gray ordered as Asuna, Saeko, Celia, Ranfan, and Piccolo walked up behind him. Raditz nodded, turning toward the hole in the ground.

"Commander Cui is stationed here," He said gruffly, leading the way to the hole. Gray blinked.

Did he just say Cui? He can't mean that Cui, right? Surely it's just conincidentally another Frieza Force commander named Cui!

…

Who am I kidding, I'm gonna have to deal with that moron.

The group climbed down the ladder, entering into a tunnel. It was long and looked as if it'd been made hastily. The walls were still dirt, with pillars of stone and wood being used as support.

"Why's the Frieza Force hiding out underground?" Ranfan asked, the airheaded woman looking around. She wrinkled her nose, "This place is so dirty!"

"The initial bases above ground were either destroyed or taken by Cooler's forces, so they were forced to retreat to the coast," Celia answered, "The commander likely thought it was easier to defend an underground position than an above-ground one."

"Why's that?" Asuna asked, looking at the green-haired girl, "Can't they just blow it up either way?"

"Yes, but," Celia countered, "if they don't know where you are, then they don't know where to blow up."

"Can't they use scouters?" Saeko asked, seeing a flaw in the hiding idea.

"They could, but," Celia pointed to one of the wooden pillars supporting the poorly dug tunnel. On the side of it was a small piece of metal, wrapped poorly around the side of the wood.

"Does that look familiar to you?"

"Nope!" Ranfan answered instantly, to the surprise of no one.

"It looks like the same type of metal that those soldiers were wearing," Saeko answered, "The scouter-blocking ones that Cooler's men who ambushed us had."

"Correct," Celia nodded, "I lost the armor set I was inspecting when we fled a week ago, but I can tell it's the same. The support pillars all have a piece on them - I don't know how it works yet, but that much must be enough to block scouters from finding this place."

"Wow," Asuna muttered appreciatively, "Then Commander Cui must be pretty smart!"

"Indeed," Saeko nodded, "To be able to retreat constantly without being wiped out, and to create such an elaborate underground base, this Commander Cui is quite competent."

Gray blinked at her words, his lips curving into a frown.

The Cui I know and the word 'competent' don't go together, but this word is so fucked up anyway, who's to say that Cui isn't some super genius commander here?

…

He's definitely not.

The group continued to follow Raditz down the tunnel, the man taking twists and turns within the maze-like tunnel system. Finally, the small tunnel expanded outwards, the dirt changing into rock. Soon, all the dirt was gone, and they were walking through a cave.

"The real base is within a cave, and the tunnels just lead to various secret exits," Celia noted, and Raditz nodded stiffly in front of them. The usually fiery man was silent - whether out of fear or humiliation had yet to be seen.

Finally, after nearly 20 minutes of walking, the cave around them expanded. The dim cave, only lit by the occasional hanging lightbulb, lit up ahead of them. They walked forward, and the cave expanded out into a giant room.

Natural sunlight came shining in, the frontmost wall completely empty as it looked over the water. Around the huge room were various aliens of different races, along with numerous chairs, couches, fridges, and even a small kitchen.

Along with all that, there were also various computers sitting around the room. And, at the very end by the ocean, was a large stone chair with a purple alien sitting on it.

[Cocky] Cui:

[Frieza Force Commander]

Age: 30

PL: 1,552,920,250

HP: 1,210,550/1,210,550

TKI: 1,517,290/1,517,290

Reputation: 0/0 (Neutral)

[Cocky] Modifier - Individuals with this modifier will be naturally cocky, seeing themselves as above others and being immensely confident.

He's pretty strong. Though, if he's this strong and the Frieza Force here is about to wiped out, then he must be the only strong one.

Gray glanced around, quickly observing the other various aliens in the room, all of whom were decked out in Frieza Force armor. His theory was proven true, as there were none over 100 million in power level.

A live demonstration of why I need some strong subordinates and friends.

While Cui was most certainly not the strongest fighter on the planet, or even close to it, he definitely wasn't a pushover. With someone of his strength, the Frieza Force shouldn't be in such a dire situation.

But, they are.

Even if he was powerful, the men working under him weren't.

And, it probably doesn't help that they have an idiot like him as a commander.

"Why did they even bother making an underground base if he's just going to sit in the open like that?" Gray asked blandly, staring at Cui as he sat at the cliff edge, his being exposed to anyone flying by.

"...The commander wanted a view of the ocean," Raditz replied gruffly.

Yeah, definitely an idiot.

"Introduce us," Gray ordered, and Raditz looked over at him. The man seemed to hesitate for only a split-second and then nodded.

"Commander Cui!" Raditz shouted, walking towards the man.

"What is it? Wait, Raditz?" Cui turned around, looking exactly how Gray remembered him. An ugly purple face with a huge forehead. There was a divide going right down the center of his head, and he had two tube-like horns sticking out.

He's even uglier in person.

"Finally learned some respect, huh?" Cui chuckled, a smirk on his face as he stood up and looked at Raditz, "You've never called me commander before! I'm glad to see you accept my position as your Great Commander, lowly Saiyan!"

Raditz's hand twitched as he glared slightly at Cui, but didn't do anything. The man had obviously not been taking being ordered around by someone like Cui well.

"This is Gray," Raditz said gruffly, gesturing to Gray.

"Eh? Another Saiyan?" Cui asked, looking at Gray's tail, "So? Why the hell are you showing me another one of your lowly kind?"

"I'll take it from here," Gray interrupted, walking past Raditz and looking at Cui, "I'll give you your credit. You did a good job not being completely wiped out, and the scouter-blocking metal in the tunnels is smart. But-"

Before Gray could finish, Cui's face turned into a huge smirk as he laughed loudly, "Ah! Glad to see one of your lowly kind appreciates my genius! The Great Commander Cui wonderfully thought to use that technology!"

Gray stared blankly as Cui continued to laugh loudly.

"Yeah, that's why I gave you your credit, but now I'll-"

"Hey! Don't just take credit for my work, you damn alien!" A high-pitched voice shouted, and Gray blinked as a woman's head suddenly appeared over the cliff edge. There was a small platform below it, and an orange-haired woman carrying a fishing pole climbed back into the cave, stomping over to Cui.

Wait, is that seriously…

[Greedy] Nami:

[Human]

Age: 20

PL: 2,250

HP: 250/250

TKI: 400/400

Reputation: 0/0 (Neutral)

[Greedy] Modifier - Individuals with this modifier will be naturally greedy, and obsessed with wealth.

The woman looked exactly how he remembered her - long orange hair, a thin gorgeous face, an hourglass figure, absurdly large breasts for her thin body, and an annoyed look on her face. She was wearing a slightly torn-up T-shirt and short blue shorts.

"If it weren't for me, then you stupid aliens would've died ages ago!" Nami shouted, glaring up at Cui.

"W-Well, maybe you did think to use the metal, b-but you wouldn't be alive if it weren't for us!" Cui retaliated, glaring back at her.

"That doesn't mean you can just take credit for my ideas!"

"Since we're keeping you alive, that's to be expected!"

"What?! Do I need to remind you who showed you how to dig a tunnel?! Who told you to use Ki instead of the stupid shovels you dumbasses were using?!" Nami shouted back, jutting up a finger at him.

Yeah, makes sense. I thought it was weird that Cui was actually doing some smart moves. She was the brains behind it.

"You damn human! I could kill you where you stand!"

"Oh, go ahead! See where that gets you! You know who does all the fishing, right?!" Nami shouted, shaking her fishing pole at him, "You would all starve in a weak! You useless bastards can't even cook a piece of meat!"

"W-Well, why would we need to? I usually just eat flesh raw when I'm conquering planets…"

"That's so unhealthy! Even if you're an alien, you can't just eat raw meat!"

"Actually, they can," Celia interrupted, pausing as everyone turned to look at her, "... though, for the record, I'm on the orange girl's side."

"Thank you!"

"Alright, enough of this," Gray hummed, clapping his hands together and bringing the attention back to him, "As I was saying, I appreciate what you've done so far. When you consider the circumstances, you did a good job. But…"

I won't take orders from this dip-shit.

Gray walked forward, stepping chest-to-chest with Cui. 

"Commander Cui…"

He looked down, locking eyes with Cui as he towered over him.

"You're relieved from your position."

Cui's eyes widened, and a spark flashed between the two men's pupils.

"I'll be taking over now."
