Hunting Monkeys

Sesame was looking for work again and he had entered the bounty hunter station looking for work. But nothing really stood out. Not any good work. Nor was it very organized. Honestly, he had learned from his own work that assassins needed others, killers, to work together. They were a lot of gooddewers and nothing could get done. And no one was doing that. So Sesame was thinking maybe that was something he should have done. If these mortals had no direction, he would create some direction. To create an organization of hunters. So he was not just looking for work but also for those he could work with. So they could all do their jobs and have some sort of protection. Then those who helped with the job would take a cut. And what better place to be then this bounty hunter's den. All he had to do was enchant his senses to hear what was going on all around him.

The next problem, however, was one that could not as easily be solved. He needed to find those who were actually strong. He couldn’t just work with anyone he found. He needed to find strong bounty hunters or assassins to back him up. It didn’t matter if he found a ton of weaklings who couldn’t help at all or were easy to defeat. No an organization like this would need the best of the best. So he watched like a hawk to see what would happen. So he waited until he picked up someone leave the bar. Someone with a high strength of <7,000> from what he could feel. He get up from his spot and began to stalk the man. It was a test to see how good his senses where. His power was high enough but would he realize that when he was about do his job he was being tailed?

Description: Sesame has Superhuman Hearing allowing him to hear from a far distance, whispers of those near him and generally any sound that is somewhat close to. Requires Occ consent to hear anything like Whispers.



Guess Sesame didn't hide his ki as well as he thought. The man seemed to realize he was there calling out he sensed him. Maybe he just heard him or something. It didn't matter the man had some good senses. It had not taken all that long to recognize he was being tailed. "I'm not gonna hide don't worry." Sesame stepped forward so Maxsuz could see him. The man had three questions for him to answer. Sesame was more than happy to answer all of them. "I hate talking but yes. Most of you people do that. So I have to do just that. It really pains me to let out such a tune."

Sesame shook his head. "I'm a demon. My name is Sesame. I'm a killer for hire you see. No, don't worry no one asked me to kill you." If they had, this conversation would not be happening. "You see, I'm looking around for...people. In this universe, they are many strong warriors. Doing my sort of jobs, they don't work out well. You need more than one person to do such a job. And you seem to be quite the strong mercenary. So I'm gonna watch and see how strong you actually are. Is that a problem?" Hopefully not he didn't wanna have to beat the man for making him speak and not getting anything out of this situation. But he was sure the mercenary if he could sense ki would realize that maybe pissing him off would not be a good idea.

A planet of monkey humanoids sounded savage enough, and to find herself stranded on such a planet would have been a nightmare if it weren't for the fact that it had reminded her of her previous life. In fact, Kanna quite enjoyed her time here so far, especially after hearing how advanced their technology had grown. It was farther than the ones they had in the demon realm who knows how many years ago, although still not as advanced as what they had back on Konats according to this girl's memory. However, she didn't particularly care, so long as she had a following that was loyal to her cause. 

Although she had initially believed she would have to painstakingly work her way up to gain followers of any sort, it was through sheer luck that a saiyan squadron had wandered through the wastes. The poor leader had even planned on killing, seeing as she was a relatively well-dressed noble and thus a quick way to make cash. Unfortunately, he was unaware of the true being that lived within this body and was quickly disposed of. Kanna made sure to hide his body quite well underneath all the rubble. Wanting to avoid this same reaction, she had decided to take over his identity, utilizing her magical prowess to change everything so that to others, she was a complete doppelganger of this poor saiyan, of course, a much superior one now that she was in control.

It wasn't long before she discovered the identity of this man she killed, a saiyan named Parusulei, and the fact that he had commanded a squadron of his own. That was great! With that, she had gone along with the rest of the plans they had for now as to not arouse suspicion, not that she was particularly paying attention to what they were doing, to begin with. For now, she would trust in their judgment until they would head to the nearest town or village where she could figure out the general situation on what was happening upon this planet. Once she learned what was happening, well it was only a matter of time before she began to take what was rightfully hers.

What she currently did not know was that there was a bounty on this person's head, one that could potentially lead to trouble.

    Despite the Argin's clear refusal to let demon follow him around Plant, it challenged his stance by saying he couldn't do stop it. Perhaps the Renegade was right all along, and Sesame was hiding a considerable amount of power to be that confident. If that was the case, then attacking him could prove to be a bad idea without having further data about the limits of its power.

    The mercenary found himself in a bit of a crossroad. He had that classified mission to complete, and couldn't afford anything to leak to the masses, but that creature behind him left him with only two choices: let it go with him, or fight it. After a few seconds pondering, he reached a decision.

    "Very well. Do whatever you want. I'll only warn you once, though: if you jeopardize my mission, you're dead."

    And so, Maxsuz walked into the desert, while Sesame tailed him from a distance.

    After hours of walking North across the dead plains in the middle of the night, the Argin spotted a cave entrance from a distance. Being a place of interest, he decided to head there, where he found the remnants of a campfire made with some small stones and burnt brushes. He put his hand on the ashes, noticing there were still a few weak embers within.

    "Hmm. This is recent. Maybe a day old at max."

    Walking into the cavern, there were pieces of plastic which must have contained food supplies littered across the floor. There was a broken device on top of a rock, something like a radar or a map. Deeper within, there were excrement and other bodily fluids, as if the bottom of the cave had been used as a bathroom.

    The Argin came back to the main chamber and analyzed the broken radar more closely.

    "Saiyan tech."

    Looking at the ground with more attention, he noticed a trail of footsteps on the sand heading further north. The sheer amount of them suggested multiple people, the deepness of the markings implied they were male, heavy.

    "It must be them, and they should be less than a day from here, considering the footsteps haven't been swept away by the sand yet. These monkeys really aren't trying to remain undetected. With that broken map, it's safe to assume they are wandering aimlessly through the desert. I wouldn't be surprised if I found one or two corpses on the way."

    The himônus started following the trail in a calm pace. He knew the Saiyans would have to regularly stop to eat or drink, especially considering they barely knew where they were going. Maxsuz had no such restrictions.

---

    After a few more hours, not that far way from dawn, the Renegade found the monkey camp. The soldiers were sleeping in improvised sleeping bags, their faces demonstrating their hunger, their thirst and their exhaustion. One of them, however, was still awake, sat on a rock. He was wearing a fancier armor than the others and had a scar on the back of his neck.

    "It must be Paruslei. He seems to be in his shift as sentinel, although I wouldn't expect the higher ranking official to be doing that. Something is fishy here..."

    Paruslei also didn't seem nearly as drained of energy as the others. Could he have kept most supplies to himself? No, that wouldn't be possible. His soldiers would have revolted long ago from hunger if that was the case. For now, the Argin decided to just watch from the top of a hill, while keeping his power level so low he was almost undetectable.

Maxuz seemed to be fine enough with not having a fight between them. He must of known how strong he was or decided it was just not worth the time. Though he did note if he got in his way he would kill him. Sesame of course, was not worried about that since he had the power advantage. But he just gave a stern nod and followed along. He didn’t want to make Maxuz all worried. So he’d go along with these terms they created. He’d be able to watch the bounty hunter work. Maybe even he’d get the chance to convince him that he had the right way of doing things. But he’d have to see at that, for now, he just walked after the man and didn’t speak a word.

And for hours that was how it was. They were heading closer and closer to that high power. It seemed more likey with each step that was the target. But he could not say for sure until they arrived. If it was the target Maxuz might of needed his help. But he’d keep silent on that. No need to piss off the man. Once he realized he was potentially outmatched he might then want Sesame’s help. Then maybe that opens up communications between the two of them. The area they were in now had signs of life but it was still a good distance from the power he felt. “We are getting close.” Was all Sesame muttered? No rhyme or reason to explain it to Maxaz. But the man already seemed to know they were close and they kept going for another few hours. By then it was all but confirmed who the target was. At least if the high power had anything to say about it. Guess it was time to see what Maxaz could do. Sesame found a spot to sit down to watch the campsite before glancing at Maxaz. He gestured that he could ahead and do his thing. This would be while the demon watched to see if the man’s mouth was backed off by his skill.

It was only a little longer before Kanna returned to the camp, a little disgruntled by the fact that she couldn't find anything for her new squad. Despite how she had spent the past month surviving on wild animals (much to the disgust of this body's palate) there didn't seemed to be any around here, leading her to return back to the camp where she had heard a voice. From what she could tell, it appeared as if her little illusionary trick didn't happen to work at all to fool whoever was trailing her. Well, that was a shame. Honestly, she had wanted to test out how much of her illusion magic she had kept, only to be ignored by some ruffian.

Despite the fact that this person was threatening her entire crew, the look on her face was calm, as if she had no worries about what was happening to begin with. Maybe she should have put up a little act and pretended to be scared as to sell the fact she was this saiyan again, but honestly she was enjoying herself too much. While the deaths of her newly obtained squad would be rather irritating, it wasn't as if they weren't replaceable eventually. Plus, the fool just showed her his secret weapon, something that had given her the advantage.

Moving her hands into the air she would finally twist her face in mock horror, hoping to get some sort of distraction. "Please, not my men. They did nothing to deserve this so leave them out of it." She said, speaking in the dead man's voice. With minute movement, the index finger of her right hand swirled around as she called upon more of her magic. From behind the mercenary, his shadow began to stir, acting a little more erratically the closer she walked. She calmly continued to walk forward, as if ready to surrender and had even placed her hands in front of her asking to be cuffed. However, the moment she was roughly an arm's length from Maxsuz, his shadow would suddenly try to grasp at him attempting to grapple at his entire body. At the same moment, Kanna grasp ahold of a fist sized rock nearby with her telekinetic abilities, attempting to smash it into his fingers in an attempt force him to let go of the bomb. While she did want to try and get the remote, it wasn't as if Kanna would cry if these men were to die either. All she cared about right now was putting this stupid mercenary in his place. If there was one thing she enjoyed doing, it was putting fools who thought they could get the upper hand over her, in their place.

    After the Himônus had finished explaining the situation, he started analyzing Paruslei's every move, waiting for a reaction. He had being feeling something was "wrong" with the sergeant since he had found the camp and, despite not showing it due to his mask only leaving his eyes exposed, the Argin's expression was that of someone on edge, expecting anything to happen.

    He first noticed the Saiyan's expression. Despite what had been told to him, he had a calm, almost emotionless expression, as if he had no feelings for the well-being of his fellow soldiers. That, along with his good health compared to the others looked very unlikely, considering they have been together for all this time without an apparent rebellion. If he was really such a selfish leader, surely someone would have already rebelled or defected.

    Then, suddenly, Paruslei started walking towards the Renegade, pleading for the lives of his men with a sorry attempt to sound scared. Maxsuz quickly glanced at his hands, noticing one of his fingers doing a subtle weird movement. Knowing at that point something was terribly off, he began sensing the árula all around him, pretending to pay attention to the "Saiyan".

    Once the sergeant had gotten close enough, offering his arms to be cuffed, out of nowhere, Maxsuz' own shadow lunged at him. However, already expecting an attack, the bounty hunter leaped over the magic shadow. While midair, he spotted a stone flying towards his right hand in high velocity. With a quick draw of his alkálipe sword, he blocked the projectile and landed in the middle of the camp.

    All that commotion woke up the Saiyan soldiers, who were shocked to see the himônus standing near them with his blade in hand. One of them mustered the energy to make a question.

    "What the Hell is happening? Who are you?"

    Understanding more of the situation, Maxsuz chuckled, then deactivating the bombs and throwing the remote control away. He directed his speech to the sergeant.

    "It looks like my suspicions were justified. It was rather easy to realize it, really. How well nourished and well dressed you were compared to the others, the emotionless reaction to my threats, the fake horror. But what really gave it up was what you said. No Saiyan would speak like you did, especially after showing they don't care about their brethren like you did.  They would probably let me kill them, because they're weak, or at least be more proud about their surrender."

    The Argin then turned his attention to the soldiers.

    "I've been hired by Vegeta's Armed Forces to bring all of you to justice by defecting. However, I've discovered your sergeant has probably been dead for some time without you knowing. That's an impostor."

    One of the weakened warriors replied angrily.

    "And do you expect us to believe that nonsense?"

    Another responded to his ally.

    "But he HAS been acting weird more recently..."

    Maxsuz shut them all up.

    "It doesn't matter what you think. You're in no position to fight for either side, so just stay out of it."

    The Himônus walked towards the "sergeant" and positioned himself for battle.

    "Tell me what you did with Paruslei's body, and I might not kill you for assaulting me."
