(Current PL: 5,000)
There was much work to be done, and after having dealt a bit with Daisuke and his little operation one of the local police hired Pieter for, he was on to another job. This job had been concerning a vicious gang that had often skulked around these parts for several years, having been performing raids on passer bys, looting them of whatever they had and even spreading around a bunch of nasty weapons that even got the old government to put a bounty out for. The bounty was supported by the BBA, and for the most part, offered a decent cash reward for them! Pieter had been looking to get some extra cash at hand, so picked up the job, but decided that since it was one of those open bounties, he'd put it off working on it for those in the immediate vicinity, which had been the Daisuke operations case!
Pieter had gone to one of the district towns North of the central capital and got to finding out some information about these, 'Tunnel Snake,' guys. Aside from the poorly opted catch phrase, 'We Rule,' their numbers have shrunk greatly over the years, especially after a bunch of guys went to engage them a couple years back or so! One of them described actually sounded an awful lot like Bing, Pieter grunting a bit in this interesting little tidbit. After a bit of investigating, Pieter learned that there was some strange activity near where his old house had been, the individuals describing the activity as a bunch of guys moving some crates around the area!
Soon after, Pieter rushed over to his old place, which only had the carved out land that he used for the house's base, as well as a ring the one time he tried to train with Chai and EGG, who declined to training with him, and actually did train with Kale and Jala. Though it was a small amount of time, Pieter found himself enjoying the few memories he had here! He was a bit happier here. Being away from people, just trying to live on his own out there. But, as time went on, dangerous foes kept showing up, at the Eastern Capital and Eastern Lands of all places! It was because of this that Pieter had chosen to leave this little hobble.
"Ah," Pieter gasped with a smile, recalling when he and Jala hunted a T-Rex and how she kept trying to take most of the meat, even though she couldn't really store it anywhere, "Good times... I think I should keep a place out here, just to have a place to get away to... Probably make it a place for people to rest at, if they find themselves lost out here, too!"
Pieter sighed, looking around at the rocks and distant trees, thinking aloud, "Alright... If I were some gang members who've come across some real powerful guys, where would I go to hide? And how would I hide myself?"

A great 'KRACKOOM' echoed throughout the sky as a golden bullet streaked through the air at blinding speeds above the Gizard wastes. This radiant light would zip and dip through the sky leaving a dazzling trail of sparkling energy before finally hurtling toward the wastes. He stopped on a dime in the heart of the arid region would be the cosmic crusader in all his starry glory. The one, the only: CAPTAIN NOVA. The hero of the cosmos cracked a goofy grin as he flicked his nose with a thumb. "Fair citizens! There is no need to fear! For it is I!" He pointed in the air, his finger seeming to twinkle in the sunlight as he widened his stance and clenched his fist to his side. "THE HERO OF THE COSMOS!" He cried out moving his hands to form an X over his chest as he crouched down "THE CHAMPION OF JUSTICE!" He continued suddenly throwing his arms back as he sprung to one leg in a graceful 'diving pose.' "CAPTAAAAIIINNNNN NOOOOOVVVAAAA!" He cried out, taking one step forward as he let his aura explode around him creating yet another light show of glittering power. He pointed his finger forward as he chanted out. "And I'm here to take out the trash!" A howl of wind greeted his heroic intro as the man stood in place dramatically posing for no one. "Uhhh..." He flushed turning a shade of red as he realized. 'there was no one around' He grinned from ear to ear as he rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly. "Oh...Hehe, right...It'sa Wasteland...There is no...People" He stuttered, his normal tone slipping out as he slapped himself in the face with both palms to psyche himself back up "NOW! If I were a gang...Where would I hide out?" He mused rubbing his beard.

While Pieter thought to himself about what these, 'Tunnel Snakes,' would do, a large and familiar presence bolted over to where Pieter was! The Hunter dropped his power level quickly before hiding away behind a boulder, unsure as to whom they may be. He then heard that gaudy, super hero introduction that was followed soon by what Pieter could only assume was an explosion! Pieter pinched the bridge of his nose, the introduction only certifying whom it was!
"Captain Nova... Seriously?! You didn't know-"
Pieter was able to hear the surprise from the Captain at there not being anyone around! Attention was important, after all! A facepalm that was noticeable for even the Captain to hear from the distance they were at as he questioned about the Tunnel Snakes location aloud! Pieter questioned, raising his power level back up to what it was before in the process, "Nova, why's your entry so... Corny?!"
The Hunter came into full view for Captain Nova to see. He was exactly amused, but the fact he was out here to search for these guys would make Pieter's job easier! He waved over at the Captain and asked, "Captain Nova, over here! Do you remember me by chance?"
(Pieter ducks away behind a large boulder he cut out ages ago, masking his power level fully for only a moment before realizing it was Captain Nova! He then brings it back up to the 5000 pl it was at before and greets Nova, curious if he recalls who he is.)

The star clad hero looked aside to the burly saiyan as he ushered him over. He smiled, darting over before lowering down. "Ah yes! I recall seeing your bout with the premier's infected self from the afterlife!" He said giving a hearty "Ho-Hah!" He placed his hands on his hips as he looked upon the warrior critically behind that reflective visor of his.
"You were...Uh..." He snapped his fingers a few times while he tapped his foot trying to remember his name. For the life of him he couldn't so he just sorta spilled the first name that came to mind. "Tomahawk Tom! That's it! You were one of..." He frowned softly as he suddenly hit a sour mood. "...Bing's friends. Right? Are you smoking out some of these no good ruffians as well? I suppose I can help a fellow hero." He smiled a bit wider, suddenly brighter again at the prospect of a team up.
"You seem a bit more knowledgeable of the area however... What can you tell me about these dastardly tunnel snakes?" He asked tilting his head lightly.

The hero rushed over Pieter with great energy! He brought the child up, an exaggerated smile on his face as that memory came through. Nova then, trying to recall what Pieter was called, remembered his Tomahawk usage and called him, 'Tomahawk Tom.' He then stated that he was one of Bing's friends! It was another unintentional blow by the hero, being uninformed of what happened on Vegeta. "... You know it's okay to ask for my name, since you've barely met me, Nova," Pieter commented, avoiding the Bing comment, "My name was Pieter Wolfbane. You'll be hearing it more often with the Hunters' Harborage Mercenaries."The name was probably going to be temporary. He was questioned about what he was doing out here, before an astute observation was made in the form of another question by the hero! Pieter nodded and replied, "Yep! Following up on that somewhat old bounty the government put up a couple years back. I heard rumors they were setting up in the Wasteland and I came back to this section, where I used to live. Wanted to make sure they weren't sullying the good and bad memories of this place before finding out where they are really hiding."( Nicolas Mclendon)

"Gotcha Pete, won't happen again." He said, once again forgetting his name as he lowered down next to him. The hero put his fists on his hips while puffing his chest as he darted his gaze around seeking out any vile villains. His scan of the wasteland seemed kind of silly of course until he remembered he could activate his scouter visor! He pressed the button, a HUD popping up in front of him as he began searching for nearby lifeforms.
"Hmmmm my Star Visor seems to be having a hard time picking up anything! We most begin our search post haste! Come my Tomahawk Tossing Teammate! We must hurry along!" He said taking to the sky once more as he lifted up higher to get a better scan range.
"These rocks are making it hard to track! Say! Didn't you say you were part of a hunters club?" He asked looking down to him. "Perhaps your Hunters instinct will be valuable in capturing these missing miscreants!"

Pete... Well, he wasn't wrong to call Pieter by that! The Hunter had met with some northerners from Jingle Village that ended up calling him that, saying his name in their strange accent. Nova certainly didn't have a knack for recalling names, though, as he went back to calling him a Tomahawk Slinger incredulous eagerness. "Well yeah! Of course you're not going to be able to track with that visor, Cap," Pieter called out to him, "A lot of these rocks have material in it that can partly scramble the device! You'll have to-"Nova got the memo quick, interrupting Pieter mid-sentence. The hunter sighed, before groaning, "Yeah, I can... But you gotta get back down here and keep it down! These guys don't wanna be found, Nova.""Guy in a brimming costume that doesn't know how to track a man or beast... This'll be fun," Pieter thought to himself. He wouldn't be able to reminisce now that Nova was here. He'd have to show him a thing or two about tracking! First, though, he had to also get an idea of where they'd have to go... Which gave Pieter an idea. "Actually, hang on. You said you were getting a lot of interference while scanning, right," Pieter questioned the hero. ( Nicolas Mclendon)

"Yes indeed Piper! Those minerals you spoke of might be making it hard for my Star Scouter to pick up where they are hiding." He mused scratching his beard as he lowered back down next to him. "It looks like we are gonna have to sniff out villainy..." He suddenly clapped his hands before spreading his legs and pointing while hanging his free palm over his head. "...THE OLD FASHIONED WAY!" Both his visor and his grin twinkled as he suddenly shot ahead.
"Come along! Come along! We mustn't dilly dally! Not when there is JUSTICE to be served! Let us go! Ho-hah!" He simply said urging the much less enthusiastic saiyan to keep up. He wasn't about to waste any more time. He was eager to save some folks and stomp out some bandits. So unless Pieter followed along he'd see Nova streask ahead leaving behind a golden trail behind him as he sought out any clue.
"Evildoers beware! Captain Nova is here!"

Nova, in all of his enthusiasm to snuff out these Tunnel Snakes, if they were actually out here, had rushed in some direction and screaming like a banshee who he is and what he was doing! Pieter rushed after him, an irritated expression on his face as he was also called the wrong name again. He shouted after him, ironically, as he neared his cape, "Keep your voice down you idiot! If we spook them, we lose them!"Pieter reached out, trying to grab Nova's cape, but there was some strange speed with this guy that prevented Pieter from keeping up. It was a miracle that he even reached to begin with as they ran through several quarries! His irritation was increasing, bright yellow enveloping his form as his power rocketed up. His hair spiked up and became that brilliant gold, along with his tail, and the eyes, once more, changed from chocolate brown to teal! He shot past Nova in a yellow blur, to only turn around with his hand raised, open palmed with his fingers pressed together. "STOP," Pieter bellowed out, hoping he'd not have to use physical force to stop Captain Nova! ( Nicolas Mclendon very brief post! Damn it, Nova! XD)

With a 'crackoom' the hero would stop. Crossing his arms as he lowered to the ground. A soft frown crossed his lips as he stared upon the warrior. "Now who is yelling? Seriously Pierre this is just wasting time!" He grumbled, while tapping his foot quickly. "I'm not the enemy here! They're getting away the more we stand around." He complained.
He was being impatient but he often was used to swinging in guns blazing if he could. Pieter's sluggish reaction was also driving him up a wall. With his super speed he could cover any nook or cranny of this wasteland! Pieter was slowing him down. Still, e took in a deep breath, cleared his thoughts, and exhaled as he righted his stance.
"What do we need to do?" He asked, his tone calmer and more controlled.

"Pieter," Pieter quickly corrected Nova, before stating, "We don't know if they're actually out here! So, we need to get a good idea. However, you need to calm down a bit, not trying to go into an investigation with octane and pizazz fueling you!"Nova asked Pieter what they had to do, sounding like he'd calmed down. Pieter powered down from the golden state, thankful that the guy was cooperating. He explained, "Let's adopt the mentality of someone who's on a higher end of the criminal spectrum. These Tunnel Snake guys are on that spectrum, and clearly would have some idea of how to hide out here of all places while also being close enough to civilization to provide a problem for travellers and city folk, should they decide to go hit the Western Capital, Central Capital, or some well known town. Right?"Pieter pointed at Nova's helmet, clarifying, "They'd know the cops, low-end military, and superheroes reliant on energy scanning devices like yourself wouldn't be able to track them! So, what we'll do is make use of that knowledge and search those areas providing interference that are close enough to civilization. We'll determine from there if they are still operating or if that old bounty's ready to be taken down. Sound good?"( Nicolas Mclendon if you'd like, in your next post, you can guide us to whatever location you wanna head to. )
