"Talking"
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Is this why you brought one of your kind to me, Raditz?! For amusement?" Cui shouted, grabbing his stomach as he started laughing uncontrollably, "You Saiyans may be weak, but at least you're enter-"
95,500! (1,115,050/1,210,550)
Cui's words were cut off and Gray's arm lashed up, his palm pushing forward and slamming directly into Cui's face. The purple alien was sent flying backward, a sonic boom ringing out as he was thrown through the cave opening.
His body was blown away in a blur, the ocean around him parting from the sheer force of the blow. In an instant, Cui disappeared.
"Well, I guess that's one way to handle it," Celia said dryly, staring at the spot Cui had been.
"C-Commander Cui!" One of the various aliens in the room shouted, jumping out of their seats and beginning to walk toward Gray. They didn't get close, as Saeko stepped forward and pointed her blade threateningly at them.
"Relax," Gray shouted back, staring out at the ocean, "He's not dead."
Unfortunately, Cui didn't just drown at sea. A moment later, a huge white burst of Ki roared out from the ocean the cave overlooked, waves and water flying upwards.
"Even if you are hilarious, I won't forgive this disrespect! How dare a lowly Saiyan harm the Great Commander Cui!" Cui's voice boomed out, the purple alien shooting out of the ocean. He glared at Gary and then blitzed forward. His arm cocked back, streaming directly for Gray's face.
In return, Gray casually raised his hand, Cui's fist slamming into his palm. He abruptly jerked his arm back, pulling Cui into him as his other hand shot upwards. His other fist slammed into Cui's stomach, breaking through the Saiyan armor completely as it shattered into pieces.
125,000! (990,050/1,210,550)
Spit flew from Cui's mouth, the alien hunching over as the wind was knocked out of him, but Gray wasn't done yet. His fist shifted into a flat hand, and he reached over, both of his hands gripping Cui's arm. He yanked upwards, pulling the Commander off his feet and into the air.
Then, he pulled both of his arms sideways, spinning around as he spun Cui through the air like a discus. He let go of Cui's arm after one revolution, sending the purple alien bursting through the air and into the ocean again. The sea parted again, waves and whirlpools forming as the ocean was disrupted by Cui being flung through it once again.
"Just so we're clear, I'm not with him!" Nami said quickly, the orange-haired girl holding up her hands in surrender at Gray. Gray opened his mouth to reassure her, but didn't get the chance as he had to raise his palm again. Cui blasted out of the ocean again, the furious alien blasting at him again, only to be stopped in his tracks in the same way.
"You'll pay for this, you dam-" Cui's head snapped back as Gray's fist slammed into it, sending the man sprawling into the ground below, and knocking over various computers in the room as a crater formed from the impact.
95,000! (895,050/1,210,550)
Why do they have computers without power? We're in a fuckin' cave!
"Listen, I don't wanna have to keep throwing you in the ocean, so just-" Gray was cut off as Cui tried to lunge at him with another punch, which he caught casually.
"The Great Commander Cui would never lose to a lowly Saiyan!" Cui shouted, launching his other fist at Gray, which he caught casually. There was an awkward moment as Gray deadpanned at Cui, both of his fists caught in Gray's hands.
"...Are you done now?" Gray asked blandly, looking at Cui like he was a toddler throwing a fit.
"Shut up, damn Saiyan!" Cui shouted, pushing his feet off the ground and into the air. His feet shot forward, his booted feet slamming into Gray's chest. He shoved off of him, trying to rip his hands from Gray's grip, and… failed miserably.
Gray stared at him blankly, the strength in his arms greater than the force of Cui's legs as he tried to rip himself free.
"...You wanna die?" Gray said bluntly, staring down at Cui's boots as they pressed into his chest, the purple alien awkwardly wedged in the air as Gray gripped his arms.
"...No," Cui answered slowly, the man starting to look nervous as he finally realized he was outmatched.
"Then get your fucking feet off me!" Gray shouted, an annoyed look on his face. He yanked his arms upward, sending Cui into the air, and then slammed him down into the floor again, causing an even bigger crater to appear.
95,000! (785,050/1,210,550)
"Gah!" Cui grunted as his back was slammed into the ground. He let out a groan, staring up at Gray wearily.
"Listen, I really don't want to keep having to throw you into the ocean over and over again, so just go grab a scouter," Gray sighed, staring down at Cui. Cui blinked, then nodded rapidly. He scurried to his feet, nearly tripping as he pushed himself up.
Well, at least he's not too different. He's still an idiot, and a coward.
Gray didn't think he'd have to work too hard to get Cui afraid of him - after all, this was the same man who had gone running in fear after witnessing Vegeta merely survive his attack.
Cui scurried over to a nearby stone table, which had fallen over from the impact of his body hitting the ground. He leaned down, grabbed one of the various scouters that had been lying on the ground, and then looked back at Gray.
"Put it on," Gray said bluntly, and Cui nodded. He quickly attached the scouter to his face, and then looked at Gray. The small green screen lit up, yellow numbers flashing across it, and then Cui's face turned into one of shock. His eyes went wide, the alien taking a step back as he gawked at Gray.
"I-Impossible! These scouters must be broken!" He shouted shakily but was looking at Gray with more than a bit of fear despite his words of denial.
"Wanna bet?" Gray asked with a raised eyebrow, holding up his fist threateningly.
"Nope!" Gray blinked in surprise as Cui leaned forward, the purple alien bowing at the waist, "Welcome to the base, Commander!"
I know that half of this guys screen time consisted of him running away from Vegeta like a bitch, but he folded so fast!
"That was… easy," Saeko hummed, and Cui glanced over at her.
"What? I don't wanna die!" Cui huffed, then turned back and bowed lower at Gray.
"...Stand up," Gray sighed, "Glad we got that over with. Give me the rundown on the situation - numbers, plans, everything!"
Cui looked up, staring at Gray blankly, "...numbers? Plans?"
"How many soldiers are left, the situation with Cooler, communication with King Vegeta or Frieza, how you were planning to get out of here and survive," Gray explained, gesturing to the cave around them. In return, Cui just stared at him blankly.
"...Should I count them?" Cui asked, pointing over at the various aliens in the room.
Yeah, this guy didn't change at all. Total moron.
"I can help you with that, big guy!" Nami spoke up, walking over and leaning into Gray as she smirked up at him, "So, you're in charge now? Protect me and I'll tell ya everything you wanna know!"
"Sounds good to me," Gray smirked in response.
You're a waifu, did you think I wasn't gonna keep you around?
"Great!" Nami nodded, smiling greedily, "Then, not including you and your team, we have 45 soldiers! We've got enough rations to last another two days, three if I keep fishing. As for the plan…"
Nami trailed off, subtly glancing out the cliff at the ocean as her smirk disappeared.
They have no plan. She was totally planning on running away.
Gray couldn't blame her - he didn't know how the human girl ended up taking care of all the idiot aliens here.
"Doesn't matter," Gray cut her off before she could think of an excuse, "Whatever plan you had doesn't matter. I'll make a new one. Just tell me everything you know about the situation on the planet."
I got a pretty good idea from King Vegeta's map and Kami - Cooler and Red Ribbon Army are teaming up. Us and the Earthling fighters are. King Cold is the odd man out, but he'll probably be teaming up with the Triangle of Evil once he finds out about us and Cooler's alliances.
While Gray had a pretty good layout of the situation on Earth, there was no such thing as having too much information.
"Got it!" Nami nodded, walking over to one of the fallen computers. It was big and bulky but didn't have any wires connected to it. Despite that, the computer screen was still on, displaying a screen saver.
A computer that doesn't need power? It's kinda like a huge laptop. Is that Frieza Force technology?
"Where'd you get these?" Gray asked, gesturing to the computers. The best way to get an answer was to just ask.
"It's Red Ribbon Army technology. A computer that doesn't require power - pretty awesome, right?" Nami said distractedly, her fingers typing on the keyboard.
"The Red Ribbon Army?" Gray asked, "How'd you get them? Did you steal them or somethin'?"
"No. They were leftover from the previous commander," Nami continued, her fingers still typing rapidly as the computer screen continually changed.
"The previous commander?" Gray echoed.
Does she mean Cui, since I'm the new one?
"The one before Cui. The Red Ribbon Army brought them for him. I'm an engineer for them."
Gray stared at her blankly.
Yeah, that makes no fucking sense.
"I just got to the planet a week ago - explain it to me like I don't know anything," Gray said bluntly. Nami blinked, looking away from the computer for a minute to look at him. She glanced over her shoulder, looking wearily at Cui, who was now being overly nice as he introduced himself to Celia, Asuna, Saeko, Ranfan, and Piccolo. It seems the cowardly man really wanted to get on Gray's good side.
"Don't tell him I told you this," Nami muttered, looking back at Gray, "I don't really want to die."
"I won't," Gray assured her, suddenly even more curious.
What did that idiot do?
"The Red Ribbon Army is working with Cooler now, but they originally wanted to work with you guys," Nami explained, cupping her mouth with her hand as she whispered. She nodded her head at Cui and continued.
"When he showed up, he killed the old commander and took over. He didn't want to work with the Red Ribbon Army because they were 'inferior weakling earthlings.' He killed all the humans in the base, but left me alive to manage the equipment," Nami explained, her eye twitching slightly in annoyance as she spoke, "After Cooler teamed up with them instead, and they kept kicking his ass, he started killing anyone who mentioned his mistake."
Gray slowly looked over his shoulder, his eyes boring into the purple alien.
He's so stupid. Should I just kill him now? I really wanna kill him.
But, killing Cui wouldn't reverse his mistake.
I won't kill him. It's better to have a strong and stupid subordinate than to have no subordinate at all.
…
Right?
…
Right?!
Gray wasn't sure at this point.
"Thanks for telling me," Gray nodded, "Don't worry about him. If he tries to do something to you, I'll kill him."
Nami blinked, looking up at him in surprise.
+400 Reputation with Nami (For looking out for her) [4x from [Ladies Man], [A Humble Master]]
"T-Thanks," Nami muttered, blushing slightly and turning back to the computer.
If I got that much reputation for that, then they must've been treating her like shit.
Gray figured that Nami didn't mind being here considering how openly she argued with Cui earlier, but it seems that wasn't the case. Cui was probably only keeping her alive because she was so useful. Evidently, she wasn't expecting the new commander to openly say he'd kill the old one for her.
She's a waifu, and Cui's a dumbass. Of course I'm choosing her.
"Here it is," Nami finally said, taking her hand off the keyboard and gesturing to the computer screen. The screen was now split into tens of smaller screens, all of which were showing a video of different areas.
"Cameras?" Gray asked, noticing that one of the screens was showing the outside of the hatch that Raditz had led them through.
"Yes," Nami confirmed, "From that short alliance with the Red Ribbon Army, we have access to a lot of micro-cameras. They're very easy to hide, and we have one set up in pretty much every major area on Earth. There's a bunch all over this island, as well as multiple in each territory."
That's… kinda concerning. That means the Red Ribbon Army, and Cooler through them, also have access to these. They're probably watching our every move.
"Nice," Gray hummed, leaning forward to look more closely at the screens.
A bunch of areas around the island. Ones in the forest under the lookout. That ones showing a guard in Cooler's armor. That's in the desert… there's West City… Nam fighting a rabbit… another Cooler sol- wait, Nam fighting a rabbit?!
Gray blinked, staring at the small screen. True to his thoughts, Nam, who had just been training on the lookout earlier that day, was now in what looked to be West City. Gray watched, his eyes widening as Nam stumbled back, unable to dodge as the rabbit's fist slammed into him. Then, the martial artist was gone.
In his place: A carrot.
