The heroes have arrived at the sayan colony of Mascus at last. This was the place that Kane had been bragging about ever since he met the gang. Now, they are going to see if it lives up to the hype. But is this colony truly safe from danger?
"Wow, this place is huge!" Leila shouted in wonder.
Mason: "I haven't seen anything like this."
Zelfire: "I'm speechless."
Piper: "We're going to be staying here for a while."
Jerrell and his top soldiers arrived at the scene to welcome their new friends.Margarita: "Jerrell! We've brought Kane's friends here safe and sound."
Kyle: "We were attacked by several starfighters, but we managed to get pass them."
Jerrell: "Good job Margrit and Kyle."
Zorton: "So he's the leader..."
Jerrell: "Ahh, my earthling friends welcome to my colony. My name is Jerrell, and I am the commander of this colony. So, what do you think?"
Piper: "It's incredible!"
Jerrell: "Thank you. Many have said the same thing when they look at this colony. I've built it years ago from scratch. It's been prospering since its inception. Any way, I've heard about your heroic stories from Kane."
Kane: "Yep, I told him everything."
Jerrell: "It would be an honor to have you as guests in this colony, especially you,Mason. You have killed several of our most hated enemies. We wanted to get them ourselves for some time now."
Mason: "Well, I was just doing what I feel is right, protecting earth."
"I see. Please, come inside with us." Jerrell took them inside the main entrance and enter the center of the colony.
Leila: "Wow, it looks even better inside!"
Jerrell: "Ummm, Kane, why don't you show our new guests around, since they'll be living here with us."
Kane: "No prob."
Zorton: "No thanks. I'll check this place out myself."
Jerrell: "And Margrit, why don't you help Mason take a tour of this place?"
Margarita: "Sure, I'll be glad to."
Mason: (I guess I have special status here, just because I'm a powerful fighter. Is that how it is with sayans?)
Piper: "See ya Mason!"
Zelfire: "Have fun!"
Mason: "You too."
Meanwhile, Kori made a report to Dark Spectre inside his ship. "Heh heh heh heh! Those fools. I have finally discovered the secret location of the sayan colony!"
"A job well done Kori. But how did you do it?"
Kori: "I owe all my thanks to those fools at the colony. When they went to earth a few days ago, I was able to track them down when they returned to the colony. Now we know where exactly on Mascus they are."
"That colony has been the biggest threat to me ever since it was established; now I can finally get rid of those rebels! Kori, I want you to kill every single person in that colony. Leave no prisoners."
Kori: "Yes, Dark Spectre, as you wish."
Back in the colony, Margarita gave Mason a tour of the magnificent colony. She showed him the dormitory, where all the soldiers rest and sleep after their training.
"And this will be your room." she declared, opening the door to his room.
"Wow, it's bigger than the other rooms."
"Of course, you're our special guest here, Mason. You might not know it, but we consider you as a hero for killing many of our enemies."
"And I can see Jerrell treats you better than the other soldiers." Mason said.
"That's right. The most important thing in this colony is strength and power, and the more you have, the more respect you get."
"So, basically, your fighting abilities determine your rank. And power is more important than anything else."
"Yes, you get the basic idea now. That is what our race is all about. Here, Jerrell is our leader, and I am second in command."
"You are the second in command? I never thought...that's not bad, for a woman." Mason said.
"Yes, many of my opponents underestimate me, and that's why I always win! Alright, now I'll take you to the training center..." she said proudly.
So she took him to the training center. It was the biggest room in the building, and naturally, one of the most important. They saw a bunch of soldiers fighting their sparring partners, and all of them were sweating, but their expressions on their faces were emotionless.
"So this is where all of the soldiers train."
"Training is probably one of the most fundamental things in being strong. Each person has to train here for a certain amount of time each day, and if they disobey they get punished."
"It must be a tough life..." he sighed.
"I agree, but this is the only way our colony will remain strong, and we can't afford to lose to our enemies."
Then this guy spotted Margarita and the visitor, and headed towards them.
Ken (with an attitude): "Well well well, if it isn't Margarita, and her special friend. Did you finally get a boyfriend who can actually stand you?"
"Ken, why aren't you wearing your fighting suit? You're not supposed to take it off at all." Margarita said with authority.
"What? I have to wear that shity suit all day? Gimme a break! That thing is heavy, and it stinks!" he said rudely.
Margarita: "You just never learn, do you?"
"Oh, I've learned alright, that the rules here stink!" he said, pointing his finger at her.
"Who is that guy?" Mason asked.
"Oh, he's just some hot shot who thinks he's so tough. We don't have to worry about him."
"You know what? I'm doing fine not wearing my suit, so I think I'll just keep it this way."
"Ken, what are you doing? You're talking to Margarita here!" one of the soldiers cautioned.
"Hey back off, I don't need your advice. I don't understand how a girl like Margarita became the colony's top official. If anyone should have that place, it should be me!"
"Are you challenging my authority? Why don't we settle this right now. I'll teach you a lesson!" Margarita said angrily.
"Fine by me."
They prepared to fight and everyone in the training room watched them silently. Some of them were shocked that someone who dare do such a thing, but then again, Ken is Ken.
"How did it turn out like this?" Mason said.
"You're an embarrassment to our colony, Ken! We have a special guest here today. It's his first day and he has to see this crap! We wanted him to have a good impression of our colony..."
Mason: "No really, it's okay."
Ken: "Ptooey. All you care about is your damn reputation. Take this."
He prepared a punch but she blocked it with her elbow, and returned a devastating kick in his chest, followed by a jab on his cheek.
Mason watched carefully. (Now I get to see what she can do.)
Ken almost lost his balance, then he tried again, but missed, giving her the chance to punch him so hard he fell on his back.
"She's pretty good. Now I understand why she's one of the best here!" Mason said. But he was disappointed it ended so quick.
Ken left the room humiliated and hurt. "This ain't over yet Margrit! I'll get you for this!" he muttered just before he exited.
"Don't call me Margrit. It's Margarita. And don't you forget that!"
After that incident, they continued exploring the colony. "You sure taught him a lesson." Mason commented.
"He deserves it. We won't accept anyone with that attitude. Now he'll think twice before talking back to a superior."
Margarita showed him the Garden, a huge room located in the center of the complex. It resembled a green house, with its variations of flowers and plants, a beautiful fountain with a statue of some legendary warrior, and a large round glass on the ceiling to absorb sunlight.
"This place is beautiful!"
"Yes, it's the most amazing site in this place. Our caretakers take good care of this garden. It's such a wonderful place...only me, Jerrell and our caretakers are allowed to enter this place. Others are forbidden from this place. Since you are our special guest, you can come here anytime you wish."
Margarita took him to a private training room. Mason felt indeed special throughout the day, that is, until she took him to another training room.
"Now where are you taking me?" Mason asked.
"Here we are!"
"Another training room?"
"Mason, nobody's here but us. It is time I test your fighting abilities."
"Say what?"
"Come on! Show me what you've got!"
"You're kidding right?"
Margarita: "I don't usually kid around. I want to see if you really are as strong as Kane says you are."
"I don't usually show off my skills. I really don't think this is a good idea."
"But I think it's a good idea." She got into fighting stance.
"Do you understand? I don't fight my allies."
"Why don't you pretend I'm your enemy?"
"Why do you want me to fight you so badly? You're just like Starburst, you want to show off your strength by challenging those who don't want to."
Margarita: "Hey, now. Don't go on saying things like that. I'm nothing like that piece of shit. He works for Dark Spectre, and I'm fighting for the good of the universe. Fighting stronger opponents is how we get stronger. If you won't fight back, then that's fine with me."
She attacked him, and he tried to be only defensive. With him not fighting back, she punched him many times and kicked him until he fell on his back.
"Ahhh, that hurts." He sprang up. "That's the way you want it? Fine. No more Mr. Nice Guy."
Margarita: "Alright, some real competition!"
"I'm going to pay you back for that handshake!"
They hit each other several times, and then she tossed him against the wall.
"You're not fighting with your full strength, are you? Why are you still holding back?"
"Like I told you-"
Suddenly, an alarm rang throughout the colony. Red lights were flashing everywhere, and the siren stunned everybody.
Mason: "What's happening?"
Margarita: "Oh no! We're under attack!"
Leila: "What's going on?!"
Kane: "This means the colony is under attack!"
Piper: "Under attack?"
Kane: "I've got to go! Stay here and you'll be safe." He ran across the hallway.
Zelfire: "Piper, we can't just stay here and do nothing. We've got to help them. This is our home now!"
Piper: "I agree."
Now the entire colony was in panic. Soldiers were running in all directions, not knowing what was going on.
Kori fired a big fireball at one of the buildings and blew a hole on it. His two henchmen, Triclops and Dergoneous were standing behind him and laughing. Around them, lie the bodies of the sayans they beat up.
"Ha ha ha! That should give them a shock!" Dergoneous was a fish-like alien. His skin color was dark blue and he has fins on his neck.
"I bet those sayans are panicking right now as we speak!" Triclops is an alien with a third eye on his forehead. He is the last of his kind. He keeps it closed all the time, but when his third eye does open, there's no telling what will happen.
"Damn." Margarita said. "They discovered our location. I got careless."
Mason got up from the floor. "Hey wait Margarita!" he shouted as she left the training room. Zorton showed up just after she left.
"We're under attack! We have to help them."
Mason: "Right."
Margarita pressed the button on the scouter and found the exact location of the attackers. She confronted Kori and his men.
Margarita: "So, you're the one behind the attacks. Who are you?"
Kori: "Greetings my sayan friend. I am Kori, and I've received orders from Dark Spectre himself to destroy this place!"
Margarita: "Dark Spectre himself?"
Triclops: "So, you are from the colony?"
Kori: "I didn't think there would be women in this place!"
Margarita: "So, just because I'm a woman that makes me weaker than others? Is that what you're saying?"
Kori: "That's a fact! Woman are inferior warriors, but I hope you prove me wrong!"
Margarita: "Don't worry, I will!"
Kori: "Get her!"
Dergoneous and Triclops both attacked Margarita, but she was able to handle them.
She jumped up into the air, and they followed her. Kori watched the fight, and checked her fighting level with his scouter. "Her fighting level is incredible! That's not bad...for someone her size. But after all, she is a sayan."
Once they were in the air, she was unstoppable.
Kori: "Hmmm, looks like she had an advantage in air combat. You idiots! You can't even defeat a woman!"
He flew straight at her and attacked. It was three on one, and she was doing her best, but there's no telling how long Margarita could last. Suddenly, Kori's scouter detected other energy levels flying in their direction.
Kori: "Looks like the real battle is about to begin. Dergoneous, Triclops, leave her to me! You go attack the colony!"
They left at once. Now Kori can focus on Margarita alone.
Margarita: "You shouldn't have done that, you know? Those two were your only chance."
"Heh, I don't need to gang up on someone to beat him. I'm confident in my own abilities. Are you?"
Both fighters powered up. Can Margarita save the colony from these goons?
