Once he had been fully revitalized, Couric got to his feet, a childish grin upon his face. He felt much better, not one to enjoy sitting around exhausted after a fight.
"I guess I owe you one, Nai." He chuckled before turning his attention back towards Julia, a sweatdrop rolled down the back of his head as he realized that the dojo flooring wasn't the most comfortable place to lay in the world and that he'd probably have to move her. And immediately his face turned red.
"Shit..." He hadn't quite noticed Fridg yet.

All the Namekians in the dojo gasp. Sensing the disturbingly evil ki after healing Couric, Nai turns around, seeing the Changeling Fridge at the door. Nai throws his arm to the side, palm open, signaling to the Namekians that everything is going to be ok. He walks up to Fridge, stopping three feet from him. Nai is a few inches taller, so he looks down into his eyes.
"So... has Chiller sent you to kill me?" Nai asks. This question might surprise Couric, since the Changelings normally wouldn't have a reason to kill the Namekians, let alone a specific one.

Shen, seeing the Changeling, grits his teeth and clenches his fist in anger. Damn Changeling... Nai will destroy you! If only Shen could sense how powerful this Changeling is... He doesn't know that this Changeling is as tough as Nai.

Couric eventually managed to lift Julia up, slinging the woman over his shoulder since he really couldn't think of any other way to hold her at the moment that wouldn't wind up tossing one of two areas on her body. He paused as he heard Nai, a brow raised in confusion.
"Eh...? Someone wants you dead, Pickle?" He still hadn't acknowledged Fridg and his tail was, thankfully, hidden underneath his belt.

Fridge would ignore everyone else in the room and then he would glare in the green guys eyes before he would speak, Fridge would take a step closer getting in the green guys face "Chiller? Sent Here to kill you?... Fridge would pause and the speak again.. I only came here becuase i sensed your power" Fridge would fold his arms and wait for the green thing to talk.

"Yeah Couric. Both King Chiller and King Vegeta want me dead, I'm pretty sure." Couric would hear Nai telepathically communicate to him "If you're curious, I can explain to you later. If you're on friendly terms with Cajabe, you can ask him too, but you'll want to hear my side of the story...
"I see," Nai responds. "The King of your race, Chiller, wants me dead. You're not working for him?"

/I see..../ He was surprised that Cajabe had mentioned anything of the sort, but figured it probably didn't matter enough to warrant a mention. /Umm...Is there anywhere I can put Julia where she won't be attacked or something...?/
He looked towards Fridg, a bit surprised that there was another being with power that was close to his own that he had never sensed before. He'd wait for an answer from Nai, Julia still slung over his shoulder.

Fridge would still keep perfect eye contact with the green guy, fridge would slowly speak to be nice and clear "I do not work for this king chiller" Fridge would rub the back of his neck and he would start crack his knuckles and then he would fold his arms and start to relax. Fridge was not afraid of anyone or even death itself.

"Humph. Fair enough. I'll accept your challenge. But we're not fighting here. I need to keep myself out of danger from your kind. Know of any good places in the universe?" Nai asks. He assumes Fridge knows universal transmission.
"We're not fighting here. Don't worry." He then says to Couric.

Fridge would run his mind real quick and he would all most not say a word, Fridge would look the green guy named nai "We can fight on my planet called "Planet Maverick", Fridge would laugh and look at the green green and he would speak again "If you can follow my ki signal meet me there" Fridge would place his fingers on his forehead and he would slowly start to flicker away.

/Alright...Good luck./ Couric nodded and made his way towards a section of the dojo where fighters seemed to go to rest in. Rather comfortable looking mats rested upon the floor. the young Saiyan laying the android down upon one before heading back towards Nai and Frost.
/Do me a favor. Make sure she stays safe if and when you get back...and if you run into Gozu, tell him she's here./ He added to what he had told Nai earlier.

"Nai!" Shen screams at Nai, after Fridge teleports. "What are you doing!? We need you here! What if we get attacked by Chiller's men tomorrow?! Me and Ava just can't do it alone you know!" Shen continues to sound enraged at Nai's rash decision. He raises his fist and his dark purple aura flares around him, just showing how much he's really hating Nai's decision.

"Ok. Right now, I just need some more battle experience, which is why I'm accepting the Changeling's challenge. And if I run into Gozu, I will let him know. If it's not too much trouble, try sticking around here for a bit until I come back. King Chiller's men will come here looking for me at some point, and they will stop at nothing to find me."
He then looks at Shen and responds, "Sorry Shen, I know you disagree. But I need to prepare for battle." Before Shen can say anything else, Nai flickers out of view, following Fridge.

Hearing Shen's outburst, Couric had a pretty good feeling that he should stick around to make sure Julia stayed safe on his own. After all, if what the other Saiyan said was true, Couric would probably be better off staying here to find out if Cajabe had been telling the truth about the Changelings attempts to expand their empire.
"Alright. I'll stick around here and help out should anyone show up." He said before Nai took off after Fridg.

Shen sighs, and his aura drops. Hearing Couric though, Shen feels alot better. Having a Super Saiyan take Nai's place feels equally as comfortable. Shen then walks over to Couric, very positive emotions filling his voice, "Wow Couric! That's really cool, a Super Saiyan at your age! How did you get that strong?"

Couric blinked, having not expected Shen to suddenly walk over and speak to him like he had after the sudden outburst of anger earlier. A sweatdrop made its way down the back of the young Saiyan's head, a look of complete confusion on his face.
"Um...Who...exactly are you?"

Post by Shen on Jun 7, 2009 19:29:57 GMT -5
Shen scratches the back of his head. "I introduced myself to you and that girl over there when you guys came in," he responds, now kind of confused. Does he have a tendency to forget people? "Shen, remember?"

"Oh...right.." Couric had practically forgotten that after finishing up his spar with Julia. He doubt he would again, considering this person seemed far less forgettable than N...uhh...the namekian guy.
"Heh...Sorry about that...." He then paused as he remembered what Shen had asked, confusion returning almost immediately. "Wait...how do you know about Super Saiyan..?"

Shen talks with a slightly depressed tone of voice, "Well... It's a long story. Long story short, my parents would have been Super Saiyans by now, but they weren't able to become that, or even become a great ape. They went on a planet for a mission for King Vegeta and the atmosphere poisoned them. I'm poisoned too. They told me that. I can't even be a great ape at the full moon."
This'll probably surprise the crap out of Couric.

Couric listened, closing his eyes as he thought over what the other Saiyan told him, obviously he'd be somewhat surprised by the story. Why he was only somewhat surprised? He hadn't realized that Shen was a Saiyan quite yet and he hadn't ever transformed into the Oozaru state anyways. But then it all snapped into place, eyes widening.
"So you're a Saiyan who can't transform..." That was about all the reaction Shen'd get, the young Saiyan not even bothered by the lack of Oozaru since he couldn't remember it. "Does that mean you're going to die from that poison?"

"No. It just... prevents my body from activating genetic transformations. My parents are still as youthful and as energetic as they were when I was a kid roughly twenty years ago. Now me and my parents are considered outcasts, and we're just the laughing stock of Vegeta. Nai and one of his friends saved me, and for the time being, me and my parents are taking refuge on Vegeta." He then breathes and asks, "Do you know of the kaioken technique?"

Post by unholylssj on Jun 7, 2009 19:51:35 GMT -5
"I see..." Couric muttered, a bit annoyed by the fact that some poison had basically stripped away a good deal of power from Shen and his family was mocked for it. Hearing the word Kaio-ken caused him to look up, a brow raised in confusion.
"Kaio-ken? No. What the hell's that?"

Post by Shen on Jun 7, 2009 19:54:33 GMT -5
"Well," Shen starts to smile. Smile big in fact. "It's a technique that can raise your strength! It harms your body, but if you use it right you'll still be in great shape! I was told that kaioken could be used to expel the poison from my body. Now when I look at the moon, my body sustains high levels of kaioken without harming itself! But it goes in a rage, just like any oozaru.
Have you encountered anyone with a technique like that?" Shen seems to be awfully talkative and energetic for an adult.

"A technique that increases your strength while harming your bo..." He cut himself off mid sentence, eyes widening as he recalled the times that Cajabe had used something similar to that, increasing his power drastically in an instant. He was surprised that he had nearly forgotten something that had happened in a recent fight of there's.
"Yeah...I fought someone who used something like that just yesterday.."

Post by Shen on Jun 7, 2009 19:58:33 GMT -5
"Yeah..." Shen scratches the back of his head. "It's a really dangerous technique, but you can use it to get yourself out of a lot of jams. Anyway, how'd you get so strong? I've seen kids, but I haven't heard of a kid that could become a Super Saiyan. How have you been training?" Shen's really curious about how someone so young attained so much power that many Saiyan adults will never achieve in their lifetimes.

"Well...I guess...it all started when I heard about a tournament on Earth back when I didn't even know that I was a Saiyan.." He began, folding his arms behind his head as he looked up towards the ceiling. He wasn't really all that bothered by how energetic Shen was.
"And it just went from there. I trained really hard for that and have been training hard ever since." Couric explained, not feeling like a full story about how his life had gone prior to the year that passed since Sakar's defeat.

"Hmm..." Shen taps his feet, looking down at the ground. He looks back up. "I hope the Changelings don't attack any time soon... I can't believe this war has been happening. The whole universe will be at stake soon if nothing changes."
Now Shen's on the topic of the plot of the saga.

"Yeah...I heard about it from someone I know on Vegeta...Apparently, not only is a war between the Changelings and Saiyan occuring, but he said that they were also sending warriors to different planets in an attempt to conquer them and strengthen their empire." Couric replied, remembering his conversation with Cajabe. Even still, he was still surprised by the fact that the egotistical Saiyan had asked him for his help.

"It doesn't surprise me," Shen responds, agreeing. "You wanna know something interesting though?" he'd raise the intonation of his voice for that question. "King Vegeta actually wanted to make war with the Changelings in the first place."

"That so, huh?" He muttered, somehow not surprised. He may not have suspected that, but if Vegeta acted anything like Cajabe did, he wouldn't be surprised at all. He wondered just how the war had been started anyways.
"So why do the Changelings want Pickle dead?"
