[Thread Power Level: 201.668] The young saiyan had a busy day getting his royal spaceship in order, the Star Javelin. He had already fixed his spacepod as one of the escape pods of the bigger ship. He still had to improve it a lot, since he wanted it to be able to have a capacity for three crew members, along with some improved engine to make it much faster than it was now. ”A escape pod has to be able to hold as much personnel as possible… And it has to be fast!” that was his idea, and he was really concerned about that, since most of the saiyans were completely unable to survive in space for more than a few seconds.
The crew quarters were all set, with space for six crew members, and he made sure that two of them remained close enough, so that they could eventually become one, and he blushed with that thought and, due to that, he tried to think about anything else. When everything was neat and clean, he decided it was about time to make it official: It was time to assemble the Natto’s Elite, or any other name that fitted the squad better, but he sucked at naming things… Star Javelin was almost a miracle, almost like some random ideas popped out inside his mind, like someone else was helping him on his dreams or something.
Anyway, he also took care of preparing a little feast on the large hub that would soon enough hold a gravity chamber, as a proud property of Natto’s Elite. He was saving his money to that, since his earnings had increased due to being the Commander-in-Chief of the Saiyan Solar Empire’s Stationary Defense Army! That was one of the very few advantages of his new position, and he was doing his best to use it to the best interests of his empire. It was a way to compensate his higher earnings and stuff. The feast was simple… Not because he couldn’t afford anything better, but because Natto hadn’t any notion of etiquette and was pretty much a savage in terms of gastronomy. For him, a plain and simple meat with water was good enough, but he tried quite hard on this one. The feast was mostly composed of red meat, but there were also some fruits and cereals, along with wine, juice and water. His beverage of choice was water and he didn’t see any point on drinking anything else so far.
With all set and done, he grabbed his scouter and sent a message to both Aspa and Tomoroko. – The elites Aspa and Tomoroko are to report at the Royal Spaceship, the Star Javelin, as an official summoning from the Commander-in-Chief. Over. – he said, over the scouter, and then he waite, almost unable to contain his excitement. He wanted them to see the amazing ship he managed to buy for their new group, but he was also sort of nervous, as he didn’t know how they would actually react to being part of the team. ”I will have to wait and see…” he thought to himself, while walking from side to side on the feast area. They shouldn’t take long to reach the spaceship, and it was a quite noticeable and impressive ship, truth be told. Word Count: 551 @aspa Tomoroko |

[Thread Power Level: 33,667, Heavy Weights on: 8,417]
Once more the young girl could be found training on her own out in the wastes, having come to love training by the oasis where she had first met Natto. Not only did it provide a great training ground, it prevented her from going over board by wanting to prevent it's destruction. This in turn taught her better control of her abilities in order to keep things the way that they were.
She was vigorously pushing herself through her regular training regiment, now back up to 500 push ups and sit ups before flying the same amount of laps around the oasis. She would push herself to go faster and faster each time, both in her strength training and speed training. She pushed herself to the point that she was able to use her after-image technique even with the weights on her which was a huge accomplishment to her.
Finally, she dived down into the deep pool of the oasis, letting her armour take her down to the bottom before she would continue her routine. While under water her scouter beeped, alerting her to an incoming message. She quickly pushed herself back up to the surface, this time with much more ease than the last and pushed the button while still swimming in the water.
She heard Natto's voice which instantly put a smile on her face, however his tone concerned her to some degree. He sounded very serious in his summons as he asked for herself and Aspa to meet him at the royal spaceship, the Star Javelin.
"The heck is a Star Javelin... and uh... I bet he forgot I don't know how to get there..."
She grumbled softly as she swam to the edge of the water, climbing out and hovering above the sand so she didn't get dirty before she would go meet Natto.
She took off from her training spot, relying heavily on her scouter to help her find out where Natto was and where she was supposed to be. She was surprised to soon find a power level of over 200,000 come into her scouters range and she stared at it in surprise. Just what kind of crazy training was he doing to reach powers that high? and why wouldn't she bring her own power level up as fast as he was? It was starting to get frustrating, as she felt she could never keep her promise to him that she would catch up so that the two could protect one another instead of her always needing his help.
Whenever Tomo finally flew close enough to the ship to really get a good look at it, she whistled as she looked it over from the skies, clearly impressed with what she was looking down at. Natto's signature was inside so she had no doubts that this is what he had called the Star Javelin. She almost didn't want to approach it seeing as it was a Royal spaceship... she felt incredibly out of place here.
She took a deep breath however and flew down to the ground, landing with a light thud as she tried to catch her balance. The armor still sometimes threw her off if she wasn't careful of how she went about things. Once she had stabilized herself, the delicious smell of food caught her nose and it took every ounce of will power not to drool at the scent of the feast. She had to focus on who had actually called her here in the first place. She looked around, unable to immediately see Natto and so spoke up.
"Natto?"

Aspa awoke from his slumber within the hospital. He was there ever since that fateful training mission which ended with him losing his left leg. He still felt phantom pains from the incident, more than once he felt his leg where the stump was, and got out of bed after he awoke and fell onto the floor due to his balance being off. He laid there staring at the stump that use to be his left leg. The doctors were still trying to have a replacement leg created for him so he would be able to fight again. Getting the crutches from beside his bed, Aspa would head to the restroom in order to do his business.
All in all, being in the hospital wasn’t bad even if he wanted to train, but his doctors locked his equipment away so he wouldn’t be tempted to train. Aspa sighed, while waiting for a nurse to give him a sponge bath. After he left the restroom, he would find a cybernetic leg on his bed. It seemed like he would be getting out of there soon, as soon as he learned how to use the leg that was made for him. He already had the link coupling installed on his stump the week before.
Taking the leg, Aspa would attach it with a twist, and flow Ki into the leg to make it move how he wanted it to. Aspa knew it would be hard to do due to him not having any training to do so. Staring at the cybernetic leg, Aspa breathed in before standing up on it. Quickly finding his balance, Aspa would slowly walk across the room in a hospital gown. Slowly he would increase his speed, it seemed like the leg responded to all of Aspa’s commands like a regular leg, and it was made to be easy to use for a experienced warrior. He started to wonder if it were durable. But that could be checked out later.
“Sir, a message came in for you.”
Looking over his shoulder at the nurse that walked in. Aspa internally sighed, Saiyans always kowtowed him due to his house, not because of any of his achievements. He hated this, a lot…. Aspa nodded at the nurse to begin the message.
“It says, ‘The elites Aspa and Tomoroko are to report at the Royal Spaceship, the Star Javelin, as an official summoning from the Commander-in-Chief. Over.’ You’re being released due to you being able to use the leg, and due to the commander’s orders.”
His armor and battle suit get wheeled in due to no one in the hospital being able to lift his armor which was always increasing in weight to hold back his awesome power. Taking off the gown, Aspa would start to put his battlesuit on. He noticed a scouter on the trolley, he didn’t even bother to take it in order to use it. Why would he? He could sense energy quite well. Picking his armor off he would jam it into place over his head. Walking out of the hospital, Aspa would stretch his aching muscles. It was a long time since he had trained last.
He almost expected that the armor would be too much for his body to handle due to him being in the hospital for a couple weeks. Flaring his deep icy aura around him, Aspa would launch himself into the air towards the shipyards. There was only a few docks that could house royal spaceships, and as far as he knew there was only one in use for the Queen’s Imperator.
Aspa expended his senses throughout the shipyards when he got there, and found the commander very easily. It seemed, Aspa knew this person. It was the Idiot that blew his leg clean off and forced him to remain in the hospital for a few weeks. It was the Idiot, Natto. Frowning, and wondering why he wanted Aspa at his spaceship, Aspa would land outside it, before entering. Due to him just getting his cybernetic leg, it stomped through the ship without grace so anyone could hear him walking onboard.
When he found the two people on board he cracked his knuckles slowly, and loudly. He really hoped he had a shot to at least blast the bastard that sent him to the hospital.
“So, we’re all here. What’s up?”
He didn’t bother introducing himself due to both of them knowing exactly who he was. He leaned against one of the titanium walls of the ship while wondering why they were there. He knew the nanomachines in his suit were trying to integrate his leg into the suit so he could have a battle ready cybernetic leg for combat.

The first one to arrive was Tomoroko, as he scouter informed by detecting a power level of 8.417. ”That power level… And I can also feel her presence too, now that I’m able to sense ki energy… It is most definitely Tomo!” he though, feeling quite happy and even more excited. The young saiyan commander ran towards the door of his royal spaceship, the Star Javelin. ”I’m glad she is wearing the weighted battle suit… it will help her grow strong quickly, as it helped me! And I know just how important that is to her!” he though, as he pressed a button by the door, opening it rather quickly. Shortly before he opened the door, she had spoken his name, and his answer was to, the moment the door opened, he took her to his arms, raising her a little bit, and kissing her passionately.
He wouldn’t do that for long, but damn! He missed her. Natto had been busy for the past couple days taking care of the planet defense, and was having little time to spend with Tomoroko, since he also had the obligation of training harder and harder, in order to get ready for the upcoming threats. After a while, he would put her back to the ground, with a smile on his face. – Please, come in! Make yourself at home! I hope Aspa gets here soon. – he said, almost unable to hold his excitement.
Natto’s scouter beeped shortly after that, scanning a power level of a little over thirteen thousand, which had to be Aspa. He closed his eyes for a second, as he was still not used to his ki sensing ability, and the energy he felt was indeed familiar. ”It’s him…” he sighed. He was looking forward seeing him, especially after what happened at the training session, where Natto accidently vaporized his left leg, due to Aspa attacking it with a kick. He felt guilty to some extent, but he also blamed Aspa for letting his limb take the hit instead of his chest, that could endure the attack.
The blue-battle suited saiyan had a new leg, and it was a cybernetic one. ”Well… I hope it is not so bad… I mean, the queen has a cybernetic arm too…” he thought, trying to look at the bright side of it, but it was difficult to find one. Natto stared at him for a while, wondering if he should talk about his leg or not, but ultimately decided against it. – Come in, we all have to talk… And there’s plenty of food too! – he said with a kind smile on his face, that was one of his traits, and a quite odd one for a saiyan. After saying that, he walked towards the table full of food, and sit on one of the chairs while he waited for the other two saiyans to sit down too, so they could talk. He had quite a lot to talk about, as he had to explain what was the Natto’s Elite and how it would work. Word Count: 514 |

She smiled whenever Natto opened the shop door and then literally swooped her inside, picking her up off the ground and planting his lips against hers as he held onto her tight. The motion caught her by such a surprise that she didn't know what to do at first, but once her brain had the chance to register what was going on, she kissed him back and laughed whenever he had finally put her back down on the floor.
"I'm guessing you missed me!"
She stated with a chuckle before getting up on her tip toes and sneaking in another kiss before the two walked into the ship. that delicious smell she had caught earlier was definitely stronger in here, and her tail started to wave from one side to the other in anticipation. Before she could ask about food however, her scouted beeped, alerting her to the presence of a third person and soon, the loud clanking noise of what sounded like metal on metal. She raised an eyebrow and looked back towards the sound, catching sight of a rather irritated looking Aspa.
Her tail stopped flicking when she saw him, guilt rising up in her chest as she noticed the cybernetic leg immediately. She didn't know how to react to having him around... she wanted to apologize for not acting sooner during their spar and preventing the injury, but she also didn't want to bring obvious attention to it.. She didn't keep her eyes on him long, glancing away from him as soon as she could.
"H...Hey Aspa"
She welcomed him before quickly turning her attention back to Natto as he spoke, using the excuse to keep her guilty gaze averted.
"Talk about what? And are you serious this delicious smelling food is for us?!"
Her excitement started to creep up again, but she tried to keep it under control for now.

Continuing to stand on the side, he watched as Natto lifted Sweetcheeks into the air and kiss her. He watched as she sneakily kissed him after he let her down. He felt a pain in his chest, he wished he had something like that. Maybe he could do something about it another time, but right then he rather just listen to what Natto had to say and to have something to eat that wasn’t hospital food. Aspa was hungry, his stomach growled lowly. He would eat everything that Natto had for them to eat.
“So lets eat, then get down to business. The hospital food was atrocious.”
He was in the hospital mostly for physical therapy, and so he could adjust to life without his left leg should the scientists weren’t able to build him another leg. Walking to the table where Natto said they could sit, talk, and eat at. Walking to the right side of Natto, Aspa would pull out the chair for Sweetcheeks, before heading to the opposite side of the table from where Natto would be seated. Aspa would attempt to sit down, before his cybernetic leg would kick backwards sending the chair into the wall and shattering it. Putting a hand over his face, like he wished he had more time to be able to control the leg before having to do something important.
“I only got this leg not even fifteen minutes ago. Excuse my lack of control over it.”
Aspa would pull a chair from one of the other places, and carefully sit down. Once Aspa has sat down, he would do a sharp twist, of the leg before taking it off and letting it stand next to him. it was if he wanted them to notice it, but he wouldn’t say anything. Aspa in his mind, wanted to guilt Natto out. But he just didn’t want to accidentally kick the table and splatter everything on it all over Sweetcheeks.
“How have you been the last couple weeks, Sweetcheeks?”
Aspa stared straight at Tomoroko when he said it, he wanted her to know what his nickname for her was. She was very sweet, so he chose Sweetcheeks as her nickname. He didn’t blame her for the leg, he only blamed himself, he could have let the beam go over his chest and dodged it successfully. He could have let it go to his chest, and risked greater injury. No, it was his fault, and his fault alone that he was now missing the leg. If he didn’t attempt to make Natto miss by trying to redirect his face with his knee it wouldn’t of happened. But he wasn’t gonna tell them that. Better to let Natto sweat it out, before ‘forgiving’ him, sometime in the future.

It was quite obvious that Tomoroko also got bothered by Aspa losing his leg, she felt a little guilt for that, since she was charging her attack, but she wasn’t to blame for that either. Natto was hoping that they wouldn’t have to talk about his leg again, but Aspa was making quite obvious that he had a new leg and that he wanted everyone to notice it, and Natto sighed with that. The image of the time where the young saiyan commander blew his leg to nothing came into his mind and he really did try to stop the mouth blast, but it was already too late. When he said that he had this new leg for only about fifteen minutes, Natto shook his head, like he was saying it was alright.
– You will get used to it… You are a skilled warrior… And the queen seems to be doing pretty well with her cybernetic arm herself. I’m sorry you have to go through this… - he sighed again, while staring at Aspa. – I’ve learned to suppress my power level, so that it will not happen again with you, or any other, during a training session… That’s the best I can do to make it up for it… - he said to the blue-battle suited saiyan, hoping that it was enough to ease his mind about the leg, at least for now. Then, Natto looked at Tomoroko, and a subtle smile managed to reappear on his face, as he nodded.
– Yes! I did my best to get plenty of food for all of us… Since I’m not very good at choosing… It’s pretty much meat and water… But there’s also juice and alcohol… Even though I’m not sure if it’s good, since I’ve never drank those! – he said mostly for Tomoroko, since she asked about the food, chuckling a bit, as he grabbed a large piece of meat and devoured it in an instant, like a desperate man who had been without food for days. Natto had no etiquette on that regard, since he was raised pretty much by himself at dangerous planets, while trying to conquer it. Food was a luxury that he only barely had on those long years and, even though he had been on Vegeta for more than a year now, old habits don’t go easily. Then, he finished a gallon of water, before cleaning his mouth with the back of his gloves, and coughed a bit, to ask for the two saiyans attention.
He would wait for Tomoroko to answer to Aspa and for the both of them to eat something before he would start speaking again.
– Now… As for the reason I summoned you guys here… Well, that’s an official act of the Saiyan Solar Empire. I’m dividing our forces into squads to protect the planet… And the main squad is the one I’m leading. Therefore, I needed some trusted elites to be part of it. – he paused, staring at Tomoroko. – You are the person I trust the most… So I wouldn’t think of anyone better than you to be part of this squad! – he said, with a honest smile. That was true, but only part of the reason. The other part, about protecting her from any harm, she already knew, but he didn’t want to say it out loud near Aspa. Saiyans had a pride to protect. Then, he stared at Aspa. - And you… Well… You are an amazing fighter… A bit reckless sometimes, but I admire your strength since he started that rivalry and all… Other than that, I trust you to be loyal to the empire and to be able to take hard decisions when it is required… Hard decisions that I may fail to make… That’s why, on top of asking you to join the squad, I’m offering you the position of lieutenant… - he said, before grabbing another bottle of water. – The decision to join the squadron is yours… If you say no, you will still have to be part of this as a temporary thing until the queen comes back… But, if you do, than we will become a full-fledged saiyan squad, recognized in all of our empire. – he drank a little bit of water, before continuing. – So… What do you say? – he asked both of them.

Tomo excitedly sat down next to Natto when Aspa was kind enough to pull up a chair for her. She thanked him before pulling the chair right up to the table. Her eyes were alight with excitement, her tail happily waving behind her as she waited for the go ahead before grabbing what she could to devour. She didn't mind having solely meat and water, frankly there wasn't much more that her mother and her could afford on what money they made. Of course moving her up to mid-class definitely helped that aspect, and she was making quite a bit more with her sales... That made her think to ask her if she could maybe make some sort of upgrades for Aspa's new leg?
She didn't ponder the thought long though as she devoured her first piece of meat, glancing up when Aspa broke his chair with his leg, explaining how he hadn't had it very long before sitting on another and detaching it. From there, she began to eat much slower than she had initially started. Then Aspa struck up casual conversation with her, using quite the odd nickname for her that caused her to stop and raise an eyebrow.
'Really? Sweetcheeks? That's not demeaning in any way... Just put up with it for now... you owe him that much Tomo...'
The girl silently thought to herself. Once she was finished with her bite, she sighed as she looked up to Aspa after Natto had said his own piece on the event that happened.
"I've continued training for the last little bit... I want to avoid making any more mistakes happening...I'm really sorry I didn't step in before that happened Aspa... I didn't think... well that something like that would happen..."
She said lowly, preferring Natto's words over her own. He was right, Aspa was strong and could easily over-come this set back... but it none the less made her feel guilty, and as if it would be her responsibility from then onto step in and help him at every opportunity she could.
Whenever they finished eating and Natto asked them both to be a part of this squad, she smiled over at him. Of course she couldn't say no, he had mentioned the squad once before, and she had promised that no matter what she would be at his side so of course she was going to participate.
"You already know my answer Natto. I wouldn't let you do this without me. I promise I'll keep getting stronger, and I won't drag the team behind."
She said with a fiery determination, glancing back over to Aspa to hear his answer.

Aspa, took a lot of meat, vegetables, and fruit and piled his plate high before snagging most of the alcohol. He wasn’t an alcoholic, he just liked the taste and he didn’t want Natto or Tomo to drink it due to it having bad effects on people if they were not used to how it affected them. Aspa, poured himself a healthy serving of red wine in a glass before testing it against a white wall. Frowning when he saw a lot of impurities within the wine, he would swirl it around in the glass before smelling it. It was poor wine indeed, it seemed like Aspa would have to buy the alcohol should they need it for parties should they hold them. Tasting the wine finally, he nearly gagged on it. He made sure that Natto and Tomo didn’t see him gag on the bad wine.
Eating slowly, Aspa would stare at the two. When he was done, he would stare at the other bottles of alcohol. Well, he took them and he would just have to finish even if they were bad. Knowing he would have to teach Natto the fine art of wine selection in the future, he would ignore the flavor for now and continue to slowly drink the alcohol. Aspa knew he wouldn’t get wasted by a palsy amount due to his Saiyan metabolism. When the talk about what they were doing there started, Aspa listened to the both of them while slowly sipping another glass of the wine.
He enjoyed Tomo’s company, a lot and was quite surprised that Natto wanted to make him the Lieutenant of the squad. Quite honestly, Aspa thought Natto hated his guts but thought about it. If Aspa were in the squad, he could make sure Natto didn’t do anything stupid and get them all killed. Aspa was calm headed, unless the right insult was used. Even then, he would store the rage away for later.
Aspa was indeed good at making calls, especially the hard ones. He could think of a recent example of one, if Natto had blasted his chest, Aspa might not be there at the moment. Aspa wasn’t wearing armor, and Natto’s blast tore through his leg like paper. If it were Aspa’s chest, then Aspa would’ve more than likely died due to lung and heart trauma. His chest was indeed more durable, but against Natto’s blast it would have sent him to a hospital for a lot longer than a couple weeks.
“Say, I were to join… How would we select more members of this Squad? How do we select members of other squads? I say we should choose captains for the squads, and let them choose their own members. The Saiyans I recommend to join our squad would be Rose and Little Hana, because we both know them and they are highly accomplished warriors.”
Thinking on it more, Aspa thought that the squad thing was a good idea, but he wasn’t comfortable of putting the three strongest warriors on the planet in a single squad even if they knew each other. He thought about how they could select members of the most elite squad, but he was still uncomfortable with the idea of all of the strongest warriors in the same squad. It could take them a half hour to cross the planet to help fight off an invasion if they were all in the same vicinity. Then the idea came to him, they could choose the members and captains through a tournament.
“I have an idea, we could select the other members of our squad and the captains of the other squads via a tournament. It would be a two on two tournament, to test both strength, teamwork, and leadership. We could randomly select the teams and see how well they work together. What say you?”
Aspa looked at Natto, he wasn’t going to say yes or no to this idea, until they’ve worked out all of the bugs within it. Aspa may be very reckless but he was a cautious person overall. The major reasons why, Aspa may be reckless were the times he couldn’t be cautious. But for Vegeta, he needed to proceed slowly and think things through.

He smiled with Tomoroko’s words as she reassured him of what they had discussed before. She would be by his side and that was very important to him; it gave him strength to keep on pushing himself forward, breaking every new limit he had. In response to that he smiled, and touched Tomoroko’s hand, stroking it with his thumb for a bit. – Thank you, Tomo… I’m really glad to hear that. – he said, with a kind tone and a very honest smile from ear to ear.
Natto didn’t see Aspa gagging with the Wine, since he was focused on looking at Tomoroko’s beautiful face and feeling happy to have her by his side, and, as Aspa seemed to be taking care of himself with quite a large amount of food, he wouldn’t bother him until he decided to speak. Finally, after eating and drinking for a little while, Aspa spoke and Natto immediately turned his head towards him. The first thing he said was, if he was to join the squad, how would they select the other members? Then he asked how would they select the members of the other squads, and then proceeded to suggest some things, like appointing the captain of each squad and letting them choose the members of it, which seemed quite reasonable, and Natto had also thought about that that way. Then, he said that, for their squad, he would suggest that both Habana and Rose Snow should join, which made him arch one of his eyebrows. ”Really?! A former criminal and a bounty hunter?!” he thought to himself, wondering why would Aspa indicate them.
Then, he suggested a sort of tournament, to determine members of squads, which seemed like a rather good idea, since, having two on two fights, would help them evaluate both fighting prowess and teamwork, but he had some things to consider too.
– Well… First of all… I like the tournament idea, but we have to develop it further, as we don’t want to leave the planet unprotected due to people focusing on the tournament itself… Also, I don’t think we should select more than a few squads based on that. I would rather follow your first suggestion, since I’ve also thought about that earlier… Choosing a captain and giving them freedom to choose its members. – he said, grabbing a piece of meat. – About the members to our squad… Before I speak my mind and decide, I want to ask you why… I mean… Rose Snow is a friend, yes… But she is a bounty hunter with almost no loyalty towards the saiyans… And Habana… Well… She seems like a more likely choice, but she is a former criminal… I checked her record… So… Tell me why. – he said, before staring back at Tomoroko. – I want to hear you thoughts on this matter too, Tomo. – he said and then, he started eating again, while he waited for their answer.
Natto would be happy to have Rose and Habana by their side, since they were quite strong, but strength wasn’t the most important thing on forming a squad. No… There was far more important things. Word Count: 528 |

"I like the idea of a tournament... but really that might just be my blood boiling for a fight... Natto's right in saying it might lower the planets defenses by doing that as we will be more concentrated on beating each other up than any enemy that might show up. then that brings up the point of having too many strong figures on one team, and possibly weakening the others. Finding the strongest and making them Captains I think would be the best option, and letting them chose their own teams... just because a saiyan is weak now, doesn't mean they will be forever. I find working with someone towards a goal really brings out the best in us."
Tomoroko piped up once the others fell silent. Natto wanted her opinion and she wasn't against giving it. The only problem with her opinion was her limited knowledge on the planet, she still had a whole lot to learn about how things worked here and what would be best to protect her home.
Whenever Aspa mentioned two names to be added to the squad, Tomoroko felt like it had been a given. Ever since Habanna had shown up in their training, it just felt natural to have the woman around them. While she wasn't quite up to their par yet, it just brought up her earlier point that she wouldn't stay like that forever. Giving her a cause, a reason to fight and to train would do her a lot of good. HOwever, whenever Natto mentioned that she was a former criminal Tomoroko raised an eyebrow as she glanced over at him.
"I don't know who this Rose Snow person is... but I kind of like having Hana around. While i'm sure I frustrated her to no end during our training, she had a lot of patience with me which I really appreciated... She doesn't look or even really act like a criminal in my eyes... she's hot tempered yes but what saiyan isn't? What exactly did she do that made her a criminal?"
She asked curiously now, having no idea what Habanna could have possibly done. The saiyan race as a whole was a roudy bunch, and she couldn't imagine what would be considered a crime here other than the extremes.

Aspa listened to their concerns about a tournament, and he smiled while looking highly smug, as if he already had what they were gonna do for the tournament already planned.
“We’ll only have those participating in the tournament there. We’ll record all the fights, and show them periodically over the next couple weeks, and those who’re off duty will be able to watch it live from bars, and other places. We could bring all of the participants to the Saiyan Colosseum, those who’re interested in joining or leading a squad, and have one or two fights a day.”
Aspa was planning on what they should do for defensive stuff ever since Queen Zucceta took a lot of their more powerful warriors to Arcose. This was one of the plans he was coming up with, a lot of squads defending specific parts of the planet with overlapping territories so they could react to any invaders with numbers and force.
“I’m also planning on training some of the weaker Saiyans so they can catch up to us. I don’t know when it’ll be however. But hopefully, you both join in on the sessions and offer advice to them.”
Aspa was going all out with the defensive strategies, he wanted everyone to be able to defend Vegeta when the time comes to defend the gem of a planet they inhabited and protect the children, and fellow Saiyans. Aspa knew it would be a lot of work in order to do most if not all of the things he was planning.
“I named the both of them because both me and you, Natto, have met the both of them. I trust, both Rose and Little Hana to watch my back. That kind of trust only develops on the battlefield. Also, no one else on Vegeta comes close to either of them aside from one Rukkora, and I only met her twice.”
He didn’t want to mention that Little Hana had been staying with him randomly the last few weeks. He didn’t mention that he thought he was developing intense feelings towards her. He didn’t care if she were a former criminal or not. He fought with her, and lost a limb with her there.
You can’t just create a bond like the one between fellow warriors out of nothing like that. Aspa would prefer not to mess with something that worked even if he lost a leg. Him, Tomo, and Little Hana made a good team and Natto would make them an even better team. Aspa didn’t know who to consider for the sixth member if they were to choose one. He guessed they would simply have to fall into the team’s lap, or it would be the first place prize in the tournament.
“What say you both?”
He didn’t mind joining the squad, but he would rather lead his own squad or form a duo team with Little Hana. He felt this way because they were putting all three of the strongest saiyans on the planet currently, in the same squad. He didn’t think this would be a good decision to make, but he would voice his concerns if they reject his ideas on how to do the tournament, and if they don’t like his decision for Rose and Little Hana, about inviting them onto the team.

Tomoroko was the first one to speak her mind. She also liked the tournament idea, but also agreed about the issue on lowering the defenses of the planet, since the top fighters would definitely get involved, and the others would be excited to watch it. She agreed with the option of taking the strongest fighters and making them captains, and giving them some freedom to choose their own squads, to which Natto nodded, and he also agreed when she said that a saiyan been weak didn’t mean a thing, since everyone had the potential to surpass their limitations and improve. Those comments made the young commander smile. ”She is really something… I’m really lucky to have both Tomo and Aspa by my side on this squad!” he thought to himself.
Tomoroko also mentioned that, even though she didn’t know Rose Snow, she liked Habana’s company, and that she didn’t seem like a criminal in her eyes, and asked what she did. Natto scratched the back of his head, as he wasn’t really certain about the details of her criminal record. ”Damn! If I knew they would bring her name up, I would’ve done a better research!” he thought, feeling a little embarrassed for his lack of knowledge. Luckily, Aspa started speaking, giving him some time before having to answer that.
The blue battle-suited saiyan gave an option to make the tournament viable, and it was quite a good idea, truth be told. Then he said that he was also planning on training some of the weak saiyans, but with potential to become leaders, and said that it would be good if Natto and Tomoroko could tag along, to which the young commander nodded. – Great ideas. Both of them! – he said. – I think the tournament is viable on these terms… And we can take turns in taking care of watching the Planet’s defenses while the others conduct the fights. With two fights a day it shouldn’t cause any trouble… As for the training, I would gladly join it to help, but I want you to conduct at least the first one… Use the wastes, so that we won’t have much damage around the habitable areas. – he continued, before stopping again, to listen to what he had to say about both of the girls mentioned earlier.
Natto touched his chin, with a thoughtful expression, while Aspa said why he thought about the two of them. When he finished, Natto sighed, leaning against the chair.
– Well… If I remember correctly, Habana’s criminal record is something small and meaningless… If she was to join the Saiyan Solar Empire, she would most likely be forgiven… I guess I have enough power for that. – he paused for a bit, taking a deep breath. – I accept her as a member of the team. I thrust her somehow. – he said, nodding a couple times. – As for Rose, though… She is rather… How can I put it… Against the saiyans? I don’t think that’s the right way to put it… But what I mean is: I can’t see her joining the Saiyan Empire… Then, she would be half loyal… A bounty hunter in all ways. I don’t know if I can handle that sort of partnership… - he said, staring at Aspa, and then to Tomoroko.
”I wonder who else I should invite… Let’s say both Habana and Rose join the squad… There would still be an empty spot on the spaceship, and I could really use a six-saiyan squad…” he took another deep breath, waiting for any sort of response from both the actual members of the Natto’s Force.

"Looks like mostly everything is settled then. We'll have these tournaments intermittently, and maybe we should have them at different locations too? This way people won't start finding the locations and swarming there anyways. It'll be a good way to change the location of concentration of power on the planet too."
She began, stealing another piece of food and anxiously scarfing it down as she let their words, and her own thoughts process as she ate. She wiped at her mouth once she was done the piece, swallowing before she began to speak again.
"I think having Hana will be an awesome idea... I have to agree with Aspa I've fought with her already, and even though we didn't know each other then, she had my back. I don't know about this Snow person though... I mean she doesn't sound like she would care if any of us got into a tough spot? I'm not saying no but, maybe it would be better to meet her? Again I mean... talk to her and see her thoughts on the matter. She might not want to be a part of this team. I don't know much about bounty hunters... but maybe she would be better to stay as an outside contact?"
She grabbed one of the glasses of water next, downing it rather quickly after her statement, using it to rinse her mouth of anything that had been left in it. She put the glass down with a satisfied smirk before looking up to the two warriors once more.
"Truth be told, there is still a lot for me to learn, so take my opinions with a grain of salt. I might have known a lot more about the planet before I lost my memories but I find that now it's a lot for me to try and understand. Whatever you two decide, I'll trust your judgement. Just tell me where you need me and I'll do everything I can."

Aspa thought about the issue with the sixth member and potentially someone who could replace Rose should she decline the invitation. Thinking about it, Aspa had a brilliant idea.
“We could make the first place winners the other two members of the Force, should we get people to join. We could say personal training with Natto, Me, and Tomo as a grand prize with a grand Ryo prize. Second Place could get 15 tickets for a gravity chamber should you get one. Third place, would only get training from one of us as a prize. We’ll keep the part about joining the force a secret until the end of the tournament. What do you say?”
He looked at the other two while hoping that they would agree to it. He didn’t really care about who’d join aside from Little Hana, but he really wanted a couple of strong people as allies within the force. He wonder if he should keep them in the dark about him intending to join the force, or let them sweat it out a little more.
Thinking about the problem with the last two members, he didn’t recall anyone being as strong or stronger than Little Hana aside from those that left with Queen Zucceta. But his interactions with several of them weren’t that good, and he didn’t particularly like a lot of them for various reasons. Besides he didn’t really have to name them as potential members since they were off world. The last thing he could think of would be patrol routes.
“For the last thing I can think of until the War Force returns, would be patrol routes. I say they should be intercepting and overlapping so a lot of teams could respond to a potential invasion faster than just having one team in a singular area, and forcing them to wait for backup should the invaders be too strong for them. What say you?”
This was truly the last thing on his mind for the Squads, and squad selection. After they answer his concerns about the Patrol routes he would say he’ll join or decline. He was already leaning towards joining, but this was the clincher, if they didn’t agree with this then he’ll decline the offer to join the Natto Force, but they didn’t need to know that yet.
