Delicious Ape [OPEN]

Korado and Sickle were back on the scrap hunt. While he was doubtful he find much near the Saibaman Pits, he also knew this was the type of places people died. It also could be good training for himself and Sickle. They would need to be staying in top shape. It had been ten years since he really got to any form of real training. Fighting infectious slime monsters was not really good training when one touch could spell your end. Korado kept walking until he spotted on a ridge three figures. He got low as Sickle climbed onto his back. "Let me see here." He scanned over the three trying to get a feel of the situation.

One of them was a saiyan warrior. She seemed pretty well built and she had something on her eye. "That must be some new device. I better ask what that is if I get the chance." Korado grinned. It seemed like a very nice piece of hardware. It was also something he could probably create himself. The other was a pink blob and a machine. He assumed the pink blob created the machine. It seemed the three would cross paths, and things didn't look much good for the saiyan. He couldn't tell the strengths but she was at a two on one disadvantage. Korado was not about to join on either side, he didn't know any of the three. For now he was watching from above trying to hide as best as he could to watch what would happen. Once he got a sense of both parties, perhaps he'd step in and join in. Plus maybe it'd turn peaceful and he could simply grab some scraps and head on his way without running into anyone else. That would be his preferred scenario.

Again, her scouter went off, signaling an a nearby entity's power. "An ambush," she immediately thought. But she doubted this was coordinated. More so she's now just been surrounded by a number of power signatures. She was confident she could survive if push came to shove, but she'd have to rely on pulling out all the stops to make it actually work out in her favor. Her tail swished behind her with the occasional erratic twitch, as she watched the purple creature for signs of movement. She couldn't worry about the other individuals for now, she at least knew their general location. That would have to suffice for now.

Suddenly, it became apparent that what she'd been gazing at was gazing back at her. It's shape shifted and contorted, resembling now something more humanoid, before it began to inflate considerably. "Shit, is it attacking?" Her body instinctually dropped into a battle ready stance as her arms went up, and her legs spread apart at shoulder width, only for the creature to bellow out, presumably to her.

The creature's tactic was peculiar to her, and caught her off guard, breaking her stance as she nearly lost her balance and toppled backwards off the collapsed wall she was standing atop. Regaining her composure, she cleared her throat, figuring if it knew of her location, it'd draw anything else deadly out anyways so the time for stealth had passed. Figuring she'd return suit, she inhaled before shouting back, "you may not mean harm, but the local wild life might have other plans!" She called out, amidst realizing that she was carrying a conversation with this being, and that it was decidedly not as large as it had seemed before. At most it'd be enough food for one of them, so perhaps this wasn't a fight worth picking. Still, if she could help it, she'd prefer to get back to hunting- though that may as well be entirely out of the question given their back and forth may scare off anything that might have been nearby.

"Why don't you come over here?" She yelled back to the creature. She admitted that it showed itself, but that alone wasn't enough to drop her guard. In fact anything bold enough to present in such a manner must be confident in its abilities, she reasoned.

Korado slid down and watched both Vennel, Faustus, and MK. Korado watched the two parties. As for why everyone was out here, Vennel was able to get his answers, she was hunting for good. "That makes sense there is a lot of Saibaman out here." He glanced flicking his fake tail out. "I personally not sure how tasty Saibaman are but that makes sense." Korado nodded before looking at Faustus who didn't say anything about why he was here. "I saw you two from the top of a hill. I came down because I was curious about what was going on. Seems you three are not about to fight so I felt safe enough to climb down. Though you've not said why your down here."

Korado then turned to look at Vennel as she asked why he was doing down here. "Well, I was personally looking for scrap metal. I left Vegeta when I was apart of the Saiyan army. I didn't like the lifestyle. But I crashed back. I plan to leave again at some point so I'm getting my scrap. Hope that is not a problem." He was unsure how Vennel would react to his statement but Korado didn't want to just lie to her face. Sickle bobbed on his shoulder forming an Eye stalk which he used to look at the three. "This is my slime. When I first crashed my pod it was on another world. I found him and made him my pet." He didn't give his name or his pets as he wanted to play it safe.

The tuffle-looking man began to speak first, acknowledging her response. And while he may not have meant it the way she took it, she interpreted it as though he was scrutinizing her reply and judging her for it. Granted, he still reacted favorably- but it was the fact it seemed to her that he felt he was in any position to question her that ticked her off. Those tuffles, always acting so high and mighty. Like the one she met with Vocado. Thinking herself better than saiyans but when the chips were down she was just like the rest of them. But what stood out to her was what seemed to be a tail flicking out, and she could have sworn it looked like a saiyans'. Her mind raced with questions like "this man looks nothing like a saiyan, more like an oversized tuffle"  and "that has to be fake right?" amongst others, and consequently, some of the finer points he was bringing up were missed while her attention wandered. She managed to catch something about how he was looking for parts, and he'd seen the rest of them here so he came after them to investigate.

Her attention finally refocused as she saw a slender eye stalk appear, as the man halways introduced it, she circled back to a bit she'd caught where he claimed to serve in the army. "Pfft, as if- you'd really have me believe you're a saiyan? With your looks and power? Please," her tone was incredulous to say the least. The absurdity of it all forced a chortle from her as she cocked her head back, "I'll need more convincing than that if you want me to believe you," she continued, not buying what he was selling by any means. Sure he was tall, but he was absurdly tall. Almost a parody of what a saiyan was like, she thought. Maybe he was wearing stilts, or some sort of sophisticated armor, similar to the sort of tech she saw the tuffle in the ruins using.

But there was something that caught her attention as well- the nervousness it seemed that the other man had said that he too was looking for parts, and she'd almost worked out why. What were the odds the two of them were here looking for parts. Why the saiba wastes, after all- wouldn't it be better to look for parts in somewhere a bit more technologically rich, like, near abandoned tuffle settlements, or in the places haunted by destron clouds? It wasn't adding up, but there may have been objects of interest in the area that drew both their attentions. After all, she wasn't some gear-head that knew much about good salvage spots.

But all this talk put her further and further behind schedule, or so her stomach's audible reminder was inclined to have her believe. She winced at the sound of her own body's hunger pains before looking around once more, to try and catch sight of something decent to eat. But her options remained as destitute as before. If things kept up, she'd have to settle for these four and hope she could come out on top, despite the disadvantage she had in numbers.
