((By the end of this thread, Tania will be travelling to Planet Vegeta. If anyone would like a free ride there, shoot me a PM! You'll be welcomed as long as there's still room for you and as long as Tania's convinced that you're not a villain. No villains allowed on the ship!))
”Ohmygoshthisissocool!” Tania squealed almost inaudibly as she scurried in circles around the luxury class Capsule Corp spaceship that had been delivered to her earlier that morning. She had been watching a lot of old episodes of Commander Clive lately, which had inspired her to do a little space exploration herself. Who knew that all you needed to do to fulfill that wish was participate in enough online auctions until they delivered a ship right to you? The impressively sized ship was sitting somewhat near the shore of the Southern ocean. All of the major preparations were already completed. One of the BBA scientists had even been nice enough to link the ship’s systems with her internal network already, which meant that operating it was going to be a breeze! ”Isn’t this awesome Benjamin?!” Tania asked excitedly as she finally slowed to a halt near the ship’s entrance. The potted Senzu Bean plant that she had practically adopted a while back as her friend sat silently on the ground a few meters away. ”This is just like an episode of Commander Clive! I’m gonna be a space explorer just like him! Do you think we’ll run into any electrical dust fields? Or maybe those weird space octopi that live in asteroid belts?”After a few moments of quiet, Tania looked over to the small plant with a confused look on her face. ”What do you mean? Of course I’m going to be Clive. You can be his loyal space dog, Rover!” she argued with her forever silent conversation partner. ”Come on, don’t be like that! You can be Clive next time. Now help me come up with a name for the ship!” The synthetic child tapped her foot somewhat impatiently as Benjamin continued to not say a single word to her. She guessed they still had some time before blast off so it wasn’t all that big of a rush, but she was eager to get going! The small girl rummaged around in her pockets for a moment before pulling out a small array of brightly colored crayons. Since she already had just about everything else taken care of to be launched into space and Benjamin was going to take his sweet time with the name suggestions, she was going to make sure the ship was nice and pretty! The child immediately began to doodle on the side of the ship. ”Hmm... What kinds of pictures do you think Saiyans like?” she asked aloud, not really expecting Benjamin to answer her since he was a little preoccupied. She wanted to make a good impression on them since the first place she wanted to explore was Vegeta. She hadn’t gotten to spend much time there at all the last time she had visited, so she wanted to go back and see what the rest of the planet was like. Surely by now they had apologized for being giant meanies to Earth a while back... |

[Thread PL: 6,839]
"I fucking hate this planet..."
Vocado slowly trudged through the sky. He didn't even know someone could trudge in the air, but he figured out how, and was doing so right now. He only barely escape from a battle with an Arcosian not too long ago, and he was finally fed up with this Kai-forsaken planet.
Getting into a battle with an escaped inmate upon landing? No big deal. Wading through a crowd at some weird costumed gathering? Annoying, but manageable. Getting the shit kicked out of you by a race that's planet has been conquered already? That was the last straw. He thought all of the Arcosians were dead or imprisoned anyways; how did that one slip through the cracks and end up on Earth of all places?
He shook the annoying thought out of his mind. He didn't care about all that anymore. He just wanted to go home and pass out in a rejuvenation chamber. If he was being honest with himself, he wasn't sure how he was still standing -or rather, floating. He wanted to give himself time to rest, but his first priority was to get himself out of here.
He clicked the scouter that rested on his ear a few times, before remembering the red screen had broken entirely in his last battle. "Damn it!" He fiddled with the broken machine, before finally admitting defeat by ripping the scouter off his face tossing it into the waters below.
Vocado continued flying, occasionally losing altitude from his lack of energy. Despite his want to continue searching, he desperately needed to land somewhere to recuperate. His eye caught a single island in the distance. "Well, alright then... Here I come you asshole island..." He pushed himself to his limit, flying at high speeds towards the island.
After a few moments, Vocado landed on the island. His feet clacked down harshly, and he fell to his knees. His voice was a bit shaky as he spoke aloud to himself. "Man... At least I'll get a Zenkai from this fiasco... Hopefully."
He sat down properly on his backside, sighing as leaned on... Something. He wasn't actually sure what he was leaning on, but it felt metallic. He turned around, unintentionally gasping in glee as he realized what had happened: He happened upon a ship! He hopped to his feet, limping towards the entrance hatch with a smile on his face.
As he approached the opposite side, his good mood immediately soured. There was a little girl in the way of his escape! He quickly slid behind the hull of the ship, watching the girl carefully from afar. It seemed like she was running the show all on her own, though she did have a plant with her as well. He took a deep breath as his mind began racing. "Well, I could just kick the crap out of the girl and make my escape... But what if she's friends with someone strong? What if that plant's secretly an android or something?! I can't kick her ass anyways; she's just a kid!... I guess I'll just have to be nice for a change..."
Vocado revealed himself from around the corner, a weak smile on his face as he waved meekly. "Hey there! My name's Vocado, what's yours?"
The first thing Tania would notice is that the Saiyan looked terrible: His armor was cracked in every visible place, and one of his shoulder-guards had been blown off entirely, revealing a wound on his shoulder. The cape that was on his back had been torn to shreds, and many cuts dotted his face. It was clear this man couldn't pose a threat even if he wanted to. Even a simple touch would be enough to defeat him in this state.
The Saiyan gripped his right arm with his left, trying his best to hide his pain. He spoke in a curious tone as he posed a question. "So uh, can you help me? My ship crash-landed on Earth a few days ago, and I got dinged up pretty bad... Could you help me get home? To Planet Vegeta?"
As he finished speaking, he realized what he had just done. "I just asked a kid to drive me across space... I think I might be losing my mind."

Tania continued to scribble all over the outside of her new ship with a wide variety of brightly colored crayons. She wanted to make sure she was covering all of her bases with what she was drawing. Flowers, smiley faces, butterflies, kitty cats... Surely at least one of those things was bound to make a good impression on the Saiyans when she landed on Vegeta! It never hurt to be safe though. There were still plenty of things she could draw.
While deciding between putting a cake or a teddy bear next to the main hatch, Tania paused as she felt odd vibrations on her canvas, almost like someone was sliding against it. She clicked on her ki sensors in her eyes and immediately picked up an energy signature that was coming from just the other side of the ship. Oh boy! Did she have company? Maybe they were coming to wish her good luck on her trip!
Just as the small child was about to peek her head around to see who exactly it was that she was sensing, the source of the energy signature beat her to the punch and stepped out into the open. ”Nice to meet you Mr. Vo-oh my gosh! Are you okay?” she blurted out, obviously taken aback by his rough appearance. What had happened to leave him looking so torn up like that? Was he like one of those Saiyans that had tried to be mean to Earth a while back? She was pretty sure he was a Saiyan, anyway. He had a tail. Hmm... Then again, if that was the case then it looked like he had learned his lesson at least. He must have if he was being so nice to her.
Thankfully for this guy, an adventurer was always prepared! Tania immediately dug her hand into her pocket. After fishing around in the bunch of crayons that were still in there, she pulled out a single Senzu Bean. ”Nice to meet you, Mr. Vocado! I’m Tania,” she introduced herself before holding the bean out to the injured man. ”Here! This will fix you right up. Well... not your clothes or anything, but it will make you feel better.” Hopefully he knew what a Senzu Bean was. She wasn’t really sure if they had them on Vegeta.
Speaking of planet Vegeta, Tania’s eyes lit up at the mention of that being his destination. ”Ooh! It’s your super lucky day, Mr. Vocado! I was actually going to visit there,” the android explained. This really was like an episode of Commander Clive! She never would have guessed that she’d get her first real mission so quickly. Maybe she would even get her very own show about her own adventures one day!
Suddenly, Tania looked over her shoulder in the direction of her potted plant companion. ”Stop being so rude, Benjamin. Of course we have room,” she argued, despite no actual complaint being raised. The girl crossed her arms over her chest assuming that Vocado had already accepted the Senzu Bean from her and threw a scowl in the plant’s direction. ”Don’t mind him. He’s just grumpy that it’s not his turn to be Commander Clive,” she explained to the large man in front of her, hoping that her friend's silent comments hadn't hurt his feelings.

He smiled weakly as the girl raised concerns. "I'm fine, honest! Just a few scrapes here and there." He chuckled, but it was clear there was poorly hidden pain beneath the surface.
The girl, who introduced herself as Tania, began to rummage through her pocket. After a brief moment, she fished out an odd bean. She offered it to the Saiyan, who eyed it curiously. "A... Bean?" Vocado grabbed the bean from her, bringing it up to his face as he began inspecting it. "Thanks Tania... But what does it do? Do I just eat it or..?"
He gulped, weighing his options as he stared the green thing down. "Might as well give it a shot..."
He flicked the bean into the sky, catching it in his mouth with ease. He crunched the bean a few times before finally swallowing it.
Suddenly, his entire body bulged with power for a moment. His wounds instantly closed up, and energy surged to new heights!
He stood to full height -an unimpressive 5'5- as he inspected himself. He seemed to be fully healed, except for his clothing that is. Vocado turned to Tania, and smirked at her. "Thanks a lot, kid! Now let's get off this boring rock and set sail for adventure!"
The Saiyan awaited for instructions from Tania. Whatever she asked for, he would fulfill her request.

Mr. Vocado seemed to be a bit confused about Tania’s gift at first. It looked like they really didn’t have Senzu Beans where he came from. Maybe she could show off Benjamin when she got to Vegeta! Tania had never really needed one of those magic beans herself, but they sure were convenient! She gave the man an enthusiastic nod when asked if he was just supposed to eat it. He did so and seemed to perk right up. Success!
”Not ‘kid’, silly. I’m Tania, Space Explorer Extraordinaire!” she corrected him with a grin. While it would take her a while to get on the same level as Commander Clive, it was never too soon to start carving out her own name for herself. Speaking of names, her ship still didn’t have one yet. Typical Benjamin... The little guy was always so slow. Oh well, that could be figured out later. There was an important mission to attend to!
The small android skipped over to the Senzu Bean plant and picked it up, carrying him over to the ship. ”Okie dokie Mr. Vocado! Next stop, planet Vegeta!” she announced while strapping Benjamin down and putting her own seatbelt on. Once everything was all set, she remotely started up the engine thanks to it being linked with her internal systems and the giant metal case roared to life and began to propel itself off the ground, rocketing into the sky and the stars beyond.
