Ace of Hearts Saga: Landing on Namek |
Sangu Image Goes Here |
Oddly enough, Namek was one planet which the young Sangu had never been to. Even during his days with the APPC, they'd steered clear of Namek, mostly due to the Warrior Caste spoken of in so many tales. Cube had decided back then that he could not afford to lose his men to a bunch of "warrior snails". But things change. Things such as ambition and bloodlust. Now, Domino, the Ace of Hearts had landed on the peaceful planet under orders to clear it off and make it a home for Cube during the Summer months. After all, Namek's Summers were rather cool compared to many planets. The journey for Sangu was long as he sat in that cramped spacepod, sleeping like a baby. A slight trickle of drool dripped onto the bare skin exposed as his weighted gi lay open, and his sleep was so deep that it didn't awaken him. What can we say? Training and fighting constantly made a human quite tired, tired enough to sleep so deeply that even the turbulence caused by the Space Pod breaking through Namek's atmosphere wouldn't awaken the Human Warrior. It was then that his eyes began to twitch, and he would step foot into a dream world only he could imagine. Dream Sequence A barren landscape, once home to a beautiful village where life thrived. At least up until the recent events of the APPC Hostile Takeover. Noone remembered the name of the planet. No. What they remembered was the child who stood atop a cliff, red hair covering his blood stained face. His white gi had been stained red with the blood of his victims, who screamed and begged for their lives as he mercilessly slayed them. He was a fearsome child; he would tell them "Worry not, Tarpathian. Your death will not be on vain, I promise you. Lord Cube will be well pleased." He was Cube's Ace of Diamonds, one of his four Elite Aces. The youngest of the four, the weakest of them all but still capable of annihilation. He'd annihilated an entire small planet with his "sharp" ki, hence the blood stained appearance. The bodies soon disappeared and he was left standing by himself. The only one on the small planet left alove. Tarpathia was dead. An alarm sounded in his dream, and... Rude Awakening "Crash landing imminent! Approaching Namek, Ajissa Mainlands! Brace for Impact!" The very sound of the old Space Pod were an annoyance to Sanguinis, who opened his eyes to see the green plains and light blue water approaching him fast. He had heard of the beauty of Namek before, yet he hadn't been able to witness it for himself. Evidently, now wasn't the time to witness this beauty either as it was coming at him rather fast. He gritted his teeth and held on to the old seat of the Space Pod, knuckles turning white as his grip increased. His eyes narrowed and he cursed. "Fuck! Fuck Fuck Fuck fuck! This is gonna hurt!" He felt the Spacepod tremble as his whole body was jarred, even as the Space Pod landed in the clear waters of Namek. Immediately, water began to trickle into the Spacepod. "Shit! The impact must have jarred the hatch loose!" He said, a hint of worry in his voice. The Space Pod was filling up with water fast, and at this rate he would be like a Sardine in a can of water! He began to kick at the hatch wildly. "Come on! Open, damn it! I can't die before I get the chance to face Domino! Open open open!" Desperation set in as he kicked the hatch with all of his force, rocking the Space Pod of the bottom of the ocean. Finally, he thrust both legs forward and kicked the hatch clear off the hinges, having taken a deep breath and holding it in. He felt the cool water rush around his body and jetted toward the surface..."Damn it...this ocean is deep!" He thought to himself, his legs burning as he kicked them. It wasn't very helpful that he'd worn his heavy weights. Finally, he broke the surface of the water, grabbing onto the edge of a small island and gasping. He climbed up on the land, cool air hitting him as he laid there, arms out stretched. His eyes closed, he spent about twenty seconds catching his breath. As he opens his eyes, he blinked again, seeing a little green man. A little Namek, a child to be exact. "Holy Shit!" He scurried away from the child, startled. The young child tilted it's head, the protrusions on it's round head tilting to one side. "Errr...I didn't mean to startle you sir, I just wanted to make sure that you were alright." Sangu looked himself over. Despite a few scrapes and bruises, he was in fine condition considering the crash landing. He looked at the child and stood up slowly, stretching out his sore, stiff muscles. "Yeah kid. I'm fine. Just uh...had a bit of a crash landing there, so I can understand your concern. Anyway..." he looked around at the landscape. It didn't look like it had been destroyed. He found himself questioning whether Domino was really here and if Deuce was lying or not. He shook his head. "...where exactly on Namek am I?" The little Namek seemed a bit timid now as the man stood at his full height. Sangu could feel the young Namek staring at his tattoos, tattoos given to him when he joined Cube's Elite Four Aces. As a young child, he'd learned the meaning of pain from the end of a tattoo needle. The child looked him over, a certain bit of fear in it's brown eyes. "Um...this is the Ajissa Mainland sir. I thought you would know that." Sangu was confused. He'd never seen the child before in his life, but apparently he was supposed to know where he was. Deep down, he knew the child was looking at his tattoos, the brand given to him by evil. He sighed. "Honestly, kid, I've never been here before in my life. Why are you looking at me like that? I'm not scary, am I?" "You look like....like..." he pointed behind Sangu. "...like them!" A sense of dread came over the Ace of Diamonds as he turned around, half expecting to see Domino standing there. Make no mistake about it, he had no doubt in his mind that he could defeat the Ace of Hearts but then again, he knew that it would be a difficult battle. She was the second most powerful of the Elite Four Aces. But of course, he didn't see her. He saw three aliens, in APPC armor, all humanoids. Each had a different colored skin, so you had to admire their diversity. The first was pudgy, with fat cheeks and red skin. He carried a laser rifle in his hands, and had the tattoos of a lesser warrior of Cube's armies. His hair was short and messy, and he looked rather unkempt. Then there was the taller of the three, lanky, carrying his laser rifle in his hands. His skin was blue, and he had long, ugly red hair. Weirdest looking ginger ever. The third was of average build, and he was a solid black alien with spiked blonde hair. The pudgy one held his hand up, looking at his two cohorts. "Hold up boys! Seems we got us an intruder?" The Ace of Diamonds looked from side to side, then at the namekian child, who shivered. Fear for him and these three were one in the same, so he'd decided the best thing to do would be to gain the child's trust. After all, he was an aspiring hero and this child needed that. He needed some hope. He narrowed his eyes, staring at the three. "Are you kidding me? If you three are part of the APPC, then I don't have a whole lot to worry about, do I? Cube's judgement has really gone downhill, huh!?" He started to laugh hysterically. These three were a damn joke as far as his Ki Sense was concerned. Exactly where did Cube FIND these guys? He shook his head. "So you guys have been scaring defenseless children, eh? That's not nice, but then again, seems like Cube's M.O." The tall one growled, pointing his laser rifle at Sangu, finger on the trigger. "Durrr...you take that back, you filthy Earthling!" Sangu just laughed harder, until he felt a blast from the upgraded laser rifle tear into his left shoulder. He groaned a bit as the pain struck him, then the groan turned into a sound that could only be described as auditory rage. His aura blazing, he rushed forward, driving an uppercut into the stomach of the tall alien. As the alien flew upwards, he phased out and appeared above him, driving both fists into the alien's stomach and sending him crashing into a crater made by his body. The angry human looked at the other two aliens, eyes ablaze. "Run! Run and tell that birch that "little brother" is coming for her!" You didn't have to tell the aliens twice. His display of power, not even twenty five percent of his true power was a fearful thing. The three stooges ran like hell, as anyone with half a brain would do. Sangu hovered downward and landed next to the child. The little Namek blinked. "Um...t-t-thank you sir...those guys are bullies...." "Hrmf..." he smirked. "...they always were, kid. I..." he groaned and fell to a knee, holding the bleeding wound in his left arm. "...ah shit! Kid, could you help me out here? That...that idiot shot me!" Obviously so. Sangu was losing a lot of blood from the wound inflicted to his shoulder, and this time, it wasn't because he was using his custom multi form technique. The child looked up just as darkness overtook Sangu, the blood loss overcoming him. Could he be saved in time? What was the child looking at? Friend or foe? -To Be Continued- |
