Luckily, Nai could hear Shiro, and his much lower voice compared to the high pitched sirens was able to relax his hearing. But he was still in enough of a rage to rush forward to the next few cars to incapacitate them by smashing their engines with his hands. Unfortunately, he had no choice but to incapacitate the police as well, and he attacked them but with just enough force to put them unconscious and not kill them.
The sirens died and Nai's sanity is now returning to him. "Sorry about that Shiro... I just can't help it. I'll need ear plugs of some kind so I don't rage out of control again." He is rather disappointed he went completely out of control, but he knew there was nothing he could do about it...

Julia wasn't looking where she was going so much... she ran in to someone... her hands made contact with them... "Oh I'm sorr- AAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHH!!!" A middle-aged woman who was just walking leisurely down the street, now screamed in Julia's face as she felt her life force leave her body... Julia felt every bit of it enter her palms... she saw the woman's eyes... the innocent woman's eyes... as she died before her.
Now Julia was the one who screamed. She shrieked... so loudly... ...then she ran some more. "NO NO NO NO NO! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!" She'd scream between sobs.

He thought it would be best if he avoided getting involved, so Rajah took a few steps away from the house and the Namekian, "Well, uh... this is not what I expected..." He mumbled to himself, taking a bite out of his apple before heading off through the crowds, pushing his way through, just past Shiro.
He took one glance at the house again before sighing and stopping for a second for one more look at the destruction caused by the car, "Still... wow..." He saw that he'd calmed down now, and shrugged his shoulders. At the same time, he heard screams off somewhere nearby, but took no heed. They didn't seem to be so rare here in this city.

"Whoa." Cajabe, entertained, ran over to Nai and Shiro. "Thanks for the help, namek..." But, even though he was too entertained to be annoyed in the slightest, he added... "...but I could have handled them myself."

With all the screaming and crying and shrieking and sobbing and wailing, Julia attracted attention pretty soon... "What's wrong mis-" "DON'T COME NEAR ME!!!" Julia, frightened more than she could imagine to go near anybody, shrieked this at the top of her voice at anyone who tried to speak to her and offer their help. Their help would get them killed if she touched them for even a second. "Why couldn't I let go? My hands... they just held on so tightly until she died... just like the scientist... oh God..."

Eventually, somebody didn't do as she asked... "No, please miss, you seem very distressed, what's wrong? Would you like me to call the police?" "JUST DON'T COME NEAR ME!" But the guy stood in her way... he seemed like just a regular guy with a simple life... maybe a wife and some kids... oh God... what would they do if he died?
"Did somebody hurt you? Because if that's the case, you really should call the police..." "Just... please... move... out of my way..." Julia folded her arms tight and backed away.

Shiro just shook his head. "I don't think the police are going to just accept 'I'm sorry.'" Still, that was rather impressive. I'm rather surprised this guy didn't manage to pass that Way thing he was talking about. When the young trouble maker came over, Shiro looked at him and asked, "Why exactly did you have to toss those two out of that house?"

The man seemed very confused and concerned at the same time... "Just what could have happened to that girl...?" He took out a cell phone, and said... "I'm gonna get someone who can help."
"If he calls the police... what if they found about about that woman I killed... oh God, her eyes... they'd arrest me... or... they'd try... and the moment they touched me... no NO!" "DON'T CALL ANYONE! THEY'LL DIE LIKE SHE DID! PLEASE STOP MISTER!"
The man was frozen in shock.

Nai looks over to Cajabe and responds calmly, "Yeah, you looked pretty strong from how easily you pummeled your victim. I was watching you, I could hear your dialogue from far away. Unfortunately those sounds were too intense for me. My survival instincts kicked in, there was nothing I could do."
Acknowledging Shiro, Nai comments, "I know. Nothing I can do. Everything happened so fast they probably won't exactly remember my image. Anyway, I'm gonna find a way to mute my ears, and then I'll head over to the dojo. Hopefully I'll see you there."
Nai then begins pacing away from Shiro and Cajabe.

He stayed put for a while, watching the trio discussing the events just now, "This city's weird." He mumbled, turning away and heading off down the street with a shrug of his shoulders, a bag of stolen goods slung over his shoulder as he ventured off down an alleyway, leaving the crowd behind him.
"Now, which way out of this damn place..."

"Thanks." Cajabe's reply to Nai's compliment on how he totally decked the guy earlier in one hit. But he was questioned by Shiro very shortly afterwards, so his answer was... "I needed a place to stay... the house looked like a good choice from the outside. Plus, it was fun."
What a jerk.

Gozu walks into the city from the plains that border one side of the city. He frowns slightly as the sounds of screams reach his ears. He makes his way towards where the screams are coming from. He slides through the crowd his 6 foot 4 frame towering over much of the crowd.

"They'll... die...? Look, miss, I know something's got you really badly shaken, but the police can handle it-"
"NO!"
"I don't understand, this makes no sense..." He reached out for her in what would be a comforting sort of way, but to her... she just wanted him to stay back... she swiped his arm away without thinking... "Oh my God... no... NO!" Her arm, as if with a mind of its own, turned itself around during the swipe and changed the action in to a grab... she grabbed his arm... now he was dying before her eyes... he was screaming as his life drained from him. Julia just cried, and tried to make herself let go... it didn't work...

Shiro turned back to Nai long enough to say, "Hope you're right. Take care, and good luck," before turning back to the short man. He rose an eyebrow when he heard the man's reason. "So you kicked them out of their house because you wanted it? What kind of stupid reason is that?"

Gozu makes it to Julia and the guy just as she grabs his arm. He looks in shock as the man screams and drops to on knee as the life drains from him. He looks at Julia's face and sees the horror in her eyes. He moves closer to Julia and the man. He will grab the wrist of the arm that his holding the man unless Julia moves and will hold it tight not enough to cause pain but enough to where she couldn't just pull away. "I think you need to let go." He says stern but kind.

Julia watches Gozu take her wrist, and hears his words, but, with horror and helpless fear still in her eyes, she can only say... "But... I can't... I JUST CAN'T... get it off of him... please! He'll die!" She squirms around, trying to make her hand let go, but it won't... it just won't... all she can do is cry and plead.

Cajabe was a little irritated by Shiro's new question... "What do you mean by stupid? I needed a place to stay, so I found one. How is that stupid? If the occupants are too weak to defend themselves then the property is rightfully mine." He seems to have no idea how wrong he is... but as far as he's concerned, he's done nothing wrong.

"Look at me. Just at me" Gozu says calmly almost as if he's talking to a wild animal trying to calm it down. "I'm going to pull on your wrist and you're going to let him go. Ok?" He gives her a reassuring smile and will begin to pull her hand off the man.

Shiro looks at the man, stunned at his reasoning. "You think it's fair to just take what you want because you're stronger?" He shook his head, noting that he'd been doing that a lot today, and tried to think of a way to reason with this person. "What if your parents were kicked out of their house because someone was stronger. Would you believe that was fair?"

She looks at Gozu's eyes... they seem so kind as he talks to her... she trusts him... she focuses on him... his eyes... his face... his... ridiculous hair... and her hand comes loose.
The poor man she was holding on to was still alive... but exhausted. His arm seemed to be totally numb, but the rest of him was alive. He was lucky. "Please run... sir..." She pleads to the exhausted man, who very swiftly does. Terror in his eyes.
"You should run... too..." She looks down at the ground, unwilling to look straight at Gozu any more... she is ashamed of what she is.

Cajabe's whole arrogant air of confidence suddenly seemed to shatter at the mention of his parents. He simply... glared... at Shiro... "Do not talk to me about my parents. Do you understand me?" His tail began to twitch, and attempt to free itself from his waist... but Cajabe wouldn't allow it.

Gozu sighs as the man runs away. Least he made it. Now to find out the story on this one. Gozu drops her wrist and smiles. "There see? Everything worked out okay. We should probably get you out of here though don't want anymore...incidents." If she happens to look up she'll see a reassuring smile plastered on his face.

Shiro immediately realized he had hit a soft spot, and nodded. "My question still stands. Parents, friends, yourself. If any of them were treated the way you treated those people would you be so willing to follow your own beliefs?" As he looked at the man, a movement caught his eye and he looked down to see a tail wrapped about the man's waist. So this guy's a saiyan? This might be trouble.

"You... should get out of here. Then I'll leave on my own. I don't want any more incidents either... and you could be one of them... I'm sorry..." She continues to avoid looking at him, sobbing between words and sometimes even during them. It'd take some patience to listen to her speaking like this.

Gozu stands patiently as he listens to her talk through sobs. He doesn't want to leave the girl alone though partly because he doesn't want her to hurt anyone and partly because well...his heart goes out to the young lady sobbing before him. "I can take care of myself and till you tell me what's going on I'm not going anywhere."

Cajabe looks down at the ground for a second as he thinks this one out... "My parents were saiyan warriors... they would understand..." It seems he won't admit he was wrong, even now...
But... "Sir, I'm afraid you're under arrest on suspicion of breaking and entering and for assaulting a citizen of Hercule City..." Etcetera... Cajabe didn't want to hear it... he swung a punch straight in to the officer's face, breaking his nose and sending him to the floor barely able to remain conscious. "Shut up you fool."
There was another police officer, though... "Now you cut that out ya hooligan!" He had seen the tail around Cajabe's waist, and realized what he and his partner had gotten themselves in to... he drew his gun and aimed it right at Cajabe.
"You think that's going to stop me?" Cajabe's attention was off of Shiro and on to the officer with the gun, now.

"Y-you wouldn't understand..." She raised her hands up before her eyes and stared at them... "If I were to touch you for even a second... you'd suffer just like that man did..." A pause. "You know, before him, I killed a regular innocent woman just a few minutes ago... I saw her eyes... they were so scared... your eyes look so kind... I don't want to see that same fear in them as I saw in hers... please leave me..."

Do they really think lead works on saiyans? Shiro thought as he watched the shorter man knock out one of the two officers. He shook his head, again, and looked at the one remaining. "You might want to go get back up. Say the military, perhaps?" That being said, he turned back to the saiyan. "At least you're consistant, I'll give you that much." He looked around for a moment before turning back to the saiyan. "What do you say we make a little bargain. We go out into the fields and fight. If I win, you have to appologize to those two whose house you stole and swear on your heritage never to do it again."

Gozu stands shocked for a minute not knowing what to say. "I've heard of looks killing, but a touch?" A weak attempt at humor trying to ease the mood. "If that's all it is. We just won't touch. But we should probably get going. If you have killed someone the cops are bound to be looking for you."

Cajabe, upon hearing the challenge, turned from the officer back at Shiro... confidence in his eyes. "If you're so sure of yourself... fine with me. It's not like I have anything to worry about. Now lead the way."
"Just where do you think you're going?!" The shaking words of a terrified police officer with no idea what to do. "Can it!" Cajabe's response.
