*GRUMBLE* There goes Cloud's stomach again, for the third time today. Cloud really had to find a job so he could properly feed himself. If he doesn't, at this rate he'll starve to death. How could he get enough money to get food. He certainly had money but it wouldn't sustain him for long. Perhaps he could try to find job applications? That would be his last option, for now Cloud was too lazy to actually work for his money, instead he intended to steal. However South Capitol was a town with a bunch of thieves and criminals so he was sure the residence here would be extremely safe with security. He'd most likely get caught so he had to be sneaky...
It was midnight meaning most stores were closed, but Cloud could easily break in. Even if they had alarms, the shop keepers would be asleep so it would take aWHILE for them to catch Cloud red-handed, giving Cloud enough time to escape. Cloud examined his choices, walking down the street. Looking for the ones with the most potential value. Then he saw one, it had a sign on top reading "GOODS AND MORE!" with a little carrot mascot next to it giving a thumbs up. Inside there were multiple isles upon isles of food, clothing, and frozen goods. There was even frozen pizza! Cloud broke through the glass, making a loud bang that would wake up anyone. Cloud knew he would be caught if he didn't make it quick.
He dashed taking whatever he could see. A banana, candy, a bandana, and instant noodles. Good enough to last him a day at least. He rushed out through the now destroyed glass window, running down the streets with flickering street lights, some of them broken. Immediately after a few seconds of running, he felt some kind of presence behind him, and before he could react the person pushed him over, with his face banging on the concrete.
"Oww..." "And that's what you get for stealing, thief!" said what appeared to be a female teen. Oh great, it's one of those people trying to be a hero, honestly I had enough of this, thought Cloud. He tried to gain his footing but got knocked over soon right after. "Stay down thief! How dare you steal from an innocent man!" Speaking of which, the man who ran the shop came rushing out in a fit. "Hey! What the hell happened?" "This criminal stole from your shop and I'm here to stop him! Hahaha!" "Then where is he?" "Hahahaha!.............wait what?"
While the "superhero" girl was talking Cloud escaped with all his stolen goods, going into a back alley. What a wierdo that girl was, oh well at least I have my food and bandana! thought Cloud. He'll eat later but he needed to get some sleep, it was almost one o' clock, well, he thought it was, Cloud didn't really have a watch. That was beside the point, he was sleepy, and he was going to get some rest. And so he did. However, the next day, his goods was stolen.
"WHAAAAAAAAAT?!" exclaimed Cloud. "Where did my food go? Where's my bandana? Why is there a suspiciously shaped figure above me? But most importantly, WHERE IS MY FOOD?......Wait, a suspiciously shaped figure, is that I just said?" Cloud looked up again to see nothing. He better go check. Cloud flew up and onto the building's roof. "I don't see anything.....besides that suspiciously shaped figure.....Wait what?" Cloud looked back and saw nothing. "Gah! What's wrong with me?"
"Wow you talk to yourself a lot don't you?" Cloud looked back and saw a thin adult in a leather jacket. He had a fanny pack, scarf, and jeans. He was shook at first but came to his senses. "What's that to you?" Cloud then saw his food hanging out of the person's fanny pack. "Hey! That's mine! Give it you prick!" Cloud ran and tried grabbing his food but ultimately failed as the adult dodged. "Seems you're new here. This town's infamous for the amount of thugs and thieves constantly robbing shops. That's why there are so many people, mostly teens, that try to be a hero and stop it. I have to say though, besides them being egotistical, they are very strong. You shouldn't try to deal with them. And you shouldn't try to deal with me."
Cloud was frozen in place and didn't know what to say. But he wanted to say something. This guy thinks he's better than me? I can easily obliterate him...I think, thought Cloud. "You say they're egotistical but if you think you can beat me, then you're the one with an ego." Cloud dashed foward trying to punch the man in the stomach. "The same can be said about you really.." The man grabbed Cloud's arm, tossing him aside. He then delivered multiple ki blasts toward Cloud knocking him unconscious. "A mere toss and some ki blasts and you're already knocked out? Guess saiyans really aren't that strong, or smart."
Cloud woke up to the moon shining down on him, stars glistening, and the ever dark sky above. He rubbed his head in confusion. The man, in a nutshell, destroyed Cloud, and even he knew that. Cloud simply shook it off. He had to find more food. *GRUMBBLLLEEEE* "You don't have to remind me stomach.." He stood up and flew down, then ran to steal even more food.
Same shop, same place. The broken glass window was patched in with a piece of cardboard and duct tape. Very professional.... He jumped through the cardboard, not making much noise compared to last noise. What could he steal today? Then, he saw it, there was a diamond with it's own stand. It shined from the moon's light and Cloud could see multiple reflections of him on it. It was on a stand that was made of quartz and some gold to make it look fancy. He read the tag on the stand. Ten thousand zeni! If Cloud sold this to the highest bidder, he could make even more money than ten thousand! He could possibly sell it twice as much as the original price. He grabbed the diamond and once it was off the stand, his arms were instantly weighed down. It was surprisingly heavy considering Cloud's strength, it would take a while for him to escape if he was constantly trying to not drop the damn thing.
Cloud held the diamond up to his chest with all his strength, then he ran off. It was incredibly tiring even though he was using all his strength, he sometimes forgot to even breathe. While running he saw a flash of light causing him temporary flash blindness. Soon, he realized the diamond was gone. Cloud looked around and saw the man who knocked him unconscious on the roof. "Thanks, bud." "H-Hey! Give it back or you'll regret it!" The man giggled. "Oh really? You want me to knock your lights out again don't you saiyan? I would but I have bigger fish to fry, and this diamond is gonna be my ticket to wealth!" Cloud ran and jumped on top of the man, trying to strangle him. "No, it's mine! GIVE IT!" After a constant struggle the man tripped over causing both of us to roll over. Cloud released his grasp on the man's neck and tried grabbing at the diamond. Once he got ahold of it, the struggle became a game of tug of war. Each person pulling harder and harder.
The fight would've continued if it weren't for the girl who showed. "Uhhh...stop it....thieves...I will...stop you...ughhh, why do you guys always do evil in the night? A girl needs her beauty sleep and I don't have time to deal with yall's antics." Then, another hero popped out of nowhere.. "Stop it evi- oh, you're already here...You mind if I capture them?" "I do mind! Gosh, and do you mind not following me everywhere sis? You always copy what I do and now you're copying me being a hero" "Hey! It isn't my fault I copy you!"
While the two dramatic teenage heroes yelled at each other, Cloud and the man looked at each other awkwardly. Not to mention, both of them were in their pajamas which made it very hard for them to take it seriously. "OKAY! Okay. How about we both capture them.." "Sure, whatever I just want to go to sleep.." "Anyways, which one of yall' did it?" Cloud let go of his grip on the diamond and pointed at the man saying, "Him! It was him." "What? Come one you guys really don't believe this do you?" "I just wanna go to sleep as fast as I can soooo....yeah I believe him."
Despite how hard it was to actually take the heroes seriously, Cloud remembered his conversation with the man. He said that Cloud shouldn't mess with the heroes, and that was coming from the guy who knocked him out. So that meant the heroes were as strong, or even stronger than him! Cloud didn't want to history to repeat of him getting knocked out so he just gave up trying to steal the diamond. He began running away as he heard the sound of punches going off behind him. "YOU ASSHOLE!" Cloud looked back and saw the man screaming at him with curses upon curses.
Luckily for him, he managed to sneak out an apple and a cinnamon roll from the shop. Cloud went back to the same back alley to rest. He'll eat the apple tomorrow, he was way too tired. And, guess what, the next day....his food got stolen again..
It was midnight meaning most stores were closed, but Cloud could easily break in. Even if they had alarms, the shop keepers would be asleep so it would take aWHILE for them to catch Cloud red-handed, giving Cloud enough time to escape.
