Mayze had decided to take on more mercenary work. He found a well-paying contract on a bulletin board at the Mercenary Outpost. He contacted the employer awhile ago. Fortunately, in this day and age, face to face meetings weren’t necessary anymore; it was just a waste of time. A quarter of the payment had already been transferred to his account, the rest after the job was complete.
A shady company that was often involved in illicit dealings - such as under the table weapon deals, chemical weapon trading, etc - had given him a contract to look for and destroy the Black Marauders’ pirate group’s base of operations on Plant. A few months ago, Mayze would’ve needed help with this sort of mission. Now, he could do it alone, which meant a bigger paycheck.
There weren’t much details to go with the contract, but Mayze guessed the group would be operating out in the wastes given it was neutral territory. Patrols from the two militaries operating on Plant would be lax out there, which made it a great location to smuggle in weapons. It’d be best if he started there. Only issue, the wastes were a BIG place. Although, the more the Saiyan had thought about it, the more he figured the pirates had to be operating near the Mercenary Outpost. Had to be close to some sort of civilization, and nobody would think to look nearby!
So, dressed in a fresh set of black battle armor with a matching black under suit, he made his way out to the only location near the Mercenary Outpost that could house a base of operations for the Black Marauders; the gorge he passed a month ago with Onnio, Haupien, and Vocado. The crack in the earth was absolutely massive, so it was a perfect location to hide a pirate base. The surrounding area was deserted too, with only the occasional saibia-beast horde coming near. Those hordes surely kept people away too.
Currently, the Saiyan stood by the side of the gorge, peering over the edge. He still couldn’t see to the bottom, and Mayze wondered if the sunlight even reached its bottom. Given its sheer size, he figured it would still take ages to find its location… maybe it would be best to tail a shipment in? That is… if it was the right location.
Coming to a decision, he decided to hide amongst a rock location nearby. And so, he waited, and waited, and waited… and waited a little longer, and still he waited, till a frustrated growl left his lips. Seemed he had been wrong, damnit.
He picked up a nearby rock and tossed it in his frustration. He watched it soar… till it suddenly stopped in its tracks with a shark *ping*. Wait, what? How did that happen? He focused on the area where it had stopped, and saw a slight shimmering in the air. A suspicious look crossed the Saiyan’s face, so he extended out a palm, forming a palm of ki, and released the ball of energy. It shot forward, striking the same location the rock had. A mighty explosion rocked the land, and as the smoke cleared, the silhouette of a ship could be seen. It had a bed cloaked! The pirates must have been using cloaking technology for extra insurance!
The wind quickly swept away the rest of the smoke, and a surprisingly still intact freighter could be seen hovering in the air. Mayze set his feet, and then shot up into the air, a blue aura flaring into place around him. The mercenary reared back a fist, and slammed it forward as he met the ship. He expected to go right through it, but a shield stopped him. The saiyan increased the energy going into his arm. It put up a brief resistance, but it wasn’t enough, his first punched through the shield, and struck the ship. The metal hardly offered any resistance, and a moment later, the saiyan shot through the entire ship, ensuring to grab an alien that had fortunately been close by as he flew through. He exited through it’s top, and moments later, the freighter exploded behind him. Perhaps it could be seen from a fair distance away?
He made his way back to the ground, the pirate he grabbed irritatingly screaming into his ear. He roughly tossed the pirate, a brenchian, onto the ground.
“Fuck, would you shut up!” Mayze growled. He shot a ki blast near the alien’s head.
The brenchian gave a nervous gulp, but seemed to get the memo.
“Thanks, now, take me to your leader.”
