Yangcong found his way to the Western bars which were much different here than that of other regions on Planet Plant, most noticeable was how there was very few of House Belle's forces within them. Yangcong could easily spot one of their soldiers considerably that their uniforms were no secret. He sat two seats at the bar counter from a Lt and ordered himself a whisky which was considered to be the strongest this planet has to offer. The Lt took notice at the order and at the man's severe burns. He simply chuckled as he realized that Yangcong's power level was equal to that of an elite soldier of the Saiyan military.
"You are a war vet I take it?" He lifted up his glass of vodka and Yangcong did the same to him in return. Yangcong nodded in response and casually drank to it.
"Yes sir, I served under Commander Garrick during my time as an active member. I took an honorary medical discharge ten years back because of my injuries."
The Lt was impressed as his eyes grew fixed together and slightly raised. He scoffed, "I bet you still have that war dog fight in you huh?"
Yangcong chuckled and took another sip.
"You know how we saiyans are, always ready to matter what."
The man was curious more than ever, since he had never seen such burn marks to that degree before.
"You served under Garrick, I heard he is one of the best Commanders to work under. Which war effort did you serve in?"
Yangcong shifted his eyes back at the man after downing the first round of whisky and ordering a second.
"Operation Annihilation. Which is how I received these burn marks. A tuffle demolitions expert I must say did this."
The Lt shook his head in almost disbelief and a slight chuckle added. "Those tuffle bastards sure make for good scientist and soldiers I must say despite the power gap."
Yangcong chuckled and started to drink his second round.
"If you don't mind me asking, what House do you serve?"
The Lt was surprised at first, but then he wasn't considering that most military didn't really tend to focus on Houses at all since all of their time was spent on the Galactic aspect of things.
"House WhistleBelle, we are currently the strongest House in the Western region and our rivals are the StoneYork."
Yangcong had chuckled and shook his head even more.
"Ah Stoneyork? This reminds me of the joke that the Military had always said about that House, how does it go again? He eats so much that..."
Lt had caught on the joke and finished it.
"You wonder how his army got so BIG to begin with."
They both had laughed a teary eye and the Lt had lost track of time as he looked at his scouter for a brief moment as a message had popped up.
"I am having so much fun that I forgot that I had to be somewhere. It was nice having a chat with you. I'm sorry, what was your name again?"
Yangcong rose to his seat and brought his hand out to shake the Lt.
"Yangcong, Sir."
"Lt Perets."
The next few days had passed and Yangcong spending his time mostly at the bar and at the same time getting a hotel that was just down the street from the bar. It had paid off since the Lt had showed up again. Yangcong sat at the bar counter again and the Lt had noticed him.
"Hey, it's nice seeing you again. The war vet haha."
Yangcong had called over the bartender.
"Order myself the whisky and my friend here his vodka and put it on my tab."
The LT calmly patted his shoulder and sitting next to him.
"You didn't need to do that. haha"
Yangcong chuckled as they both were given their drinks.
"Nonsense, no matter if you're from a House or the Military, you still are serving whether it's local or galactic."
The Lt agreed and nodded, as they both cling their glasses together.
"You know I was so interested in your War status, that I had looked you up and for some reason I couldn't find any records of you serving in that War Effort or your medical records?"
Yangcong chuckled and simply shrugged as he took a sip.
"I'm really not surprised at all my name wasn't mentioned. That operation doesn't include undercover operatives and medical records aren't disclosed if one is in the field of Undercover work."
The man had raised a brow.
"Your an undercover operative?"
Yangcong shifted his eyes towards the man after finishing down his drink.
"Not in the regular tradition of a spy. Undercover as in, I was sent not to gather intel which that was what a spy is used for, but as an enforcer so that the enemy believes that they are lower numbered soldiers than what the reality is. Those type of enforcers are considered undercover operatives and their main goal is to make the enemy believe they have the advantage."
The Lt looked to Yangcong with a curious stare.
"And you served under Commander Garrick?" He drank from his glass.
"That's right." Yangcong ordering another round.
The Lt stopping the bartender and raising back to his feet.
"No no, that won't be necessary, I have a meeting to get too. It was nice seeing you again."
After some days had passed, the Lt had came back and sat next to Yangcong once again.
"I have to apologize for my behavior the other day. Commander Garrick was able to verify your story and released your record to me. I just had to make sure you were the real deal. Many people lie about their military status."
Yangcong taking a sip of the whisky as it came to the counter.
"It's alright, I'm use to it by now. We under covers don't get a lot of respect compared to the infantry men."
The Lt nodded and an idea had came up in his mind.
"I know you are retired but, I would like to bring you in for House Belle. She needs strong soldiers to aid her during this time period."
The Lt came to the bars due to the growing feud between both Houses and knew that if both of them wanted to declare a civil war and destroy one another, then he feared that his House would lose. Yangcong tugged his lips into a smirk.
"I would be honored to serve your House, if they have this whisky."
The Lt has laughed.
"But of course we do. Come now."
Yangcong and the Lt had arrived at House Belle and the Lord had already spotted the new arrival before he had entered the gates. She wondered who this man was and now standing at the lobby, the Lords royal guards had arrived at the lobby first to inspect. They wore similar attire to the Lt but slightly different in the design choice. The Lord had raised a brow as he stood over the ledge of the second floor and next to the spiraling staircase.
"Lt Perets, who do we have here?"
Lt Perets kneeled before the Lord before rising back up.
"A former Saiyan military soldier who served under Commander Garrick ten years ago. I brought him here in hopes of changing the civil war effort against House Stoneyork."
The Lord now was within eye level of Yangcong and casually walking around him briefly.
"Your injuries, would they hinder you from a fight?"
"No." Yangcong had chuckle. He swayed her head at her royal guards and they immediately had sprung into action, the first jumping into the air and attempting to slice at Yangcong's head, the other tried to come from his right side and attempted an attack on his stomach. Yangcong had lifted his left finger and blocked the sword attack which was intended for his head, cracking it in the process. The other attack was caught with his hand in a tight grip. With one violent yell, he released a bit of his power and both the guards flew away from their weapons and impacting the wall and the other at the ground. Both were dazed by the attack and their weapons on the ground and Yangcong now stood with his arms to his back. The Lord was rather impressed and smirk.
"I hear you did undercover enforcer work."
Yangcong nodded and stood at a parade rest.
"That's right. When we needed to trick the tuffle forces that they were less of us on the field. We would pose as locals and waited to ambush them."
The Lord had her hand to her chin and lightly rubbed it as she met eye level with Yangcong after walking around him.
"And why didn't you go back to the war efforts?"
Yangcong briefly coughed into his fist before going back into place.
"As you know a military career is always active and depending your role, like mine was, I was sent to different planets all the time for months up to years. The weather conditions along with the food wasn't so good on my health nor my injuries. Foreign food wasn't always a delicacy and being much older than I was ten years ago, you feel the affects of your age start to kick in. Those who serve in a House, tend to stick to civil matters."
The Lord finally went back and stood next to her royal guards.
"Give him the guest bedroom, and Yangcong, your royal guard uniform will be there tomorrow morning. I have an assignment for you first thing. So be ready."
The assignment had already started, deep in a cave to the Eastern region of planet Vegeta where the Stoneyork's main region is. The cave had appeared as ancient as ever. From the cob webs that have grown overtime, to the vines all around the walls and floors. One would make the automatic guess that this place was once a laboratory of some sorts. Machinery pipes and the works were underneath the vines and making his way to the center of the cave where a big open section was now shown from the traditional narrow and steep type of environment. Yangcong had scanned the entire section before him as automatic lights had turned on. He was sent here to find any research which would lead to a new bio project that the Stoneyorks had been working on. From what he had guessed with the long term abandoned, maybe perhaps nothing was of the sort. However he carefully looked over the machines, no dust seemed to be placed there, almost like continued work had been going on here as of recent. He stepped ahead onto the computer before him, it had required a password in order to access it. He had lightly tapped onto his yellow scouter and had got into contact with the Lt.
"You were right about searching the caves. Out of the five I have searched, this is the only one that shows signs of recent activity. The problem is, a password is needed to access it."
The Lt wasn't worried about it, as he was close within the vicinity.
"Give me a second."
A few seconds had passed and it had paid off, the Lt had gotten back on the comms.
"Just hit the enter key."
Yangcong did just that and he had bypassed the security measure. He then had searched folder after folder about their journal log and finally, spotted the message about their Bio project. The computer had shut down and a tuffle scientist had walked in, angry and carrying with him would be his ki rifle. He aimed his rifle at him and Yangcong had responded by placing his arms up in the air. He began to slowly back away from the computer.
"Who the fuck are you, this is Stoneyork Territory. You better have a good reason to be here!"
"Calm down, I was hired by your Lord to be here."
The man took a step forward.
"I would have been alerted of a reason change. You're a bad liar."
Yangcong had blurred from his position and before he could make contact with the man from behind, the scientist quickly turned around and fired upon his right burnt shoulder. Causing Yangcong to grunt in pain and collapse on his back.
"I'm no ordinary tuffle scientist you saiyan worm!"
The tuffle scientist appearing to be a bit younger than Yangcong in age.
"You clearly are a fast one. I have to give you that."
The tuffle wasn't amused and pointed his rifle at Yangcong's chest. Any second he was going to fire it as he stepped away and pointed the rifle at his head. Yangcong had closed his eyes and placed his head down in shame. A knife was thrown straight into the rifle's barrel and an explosion had happened. The tuffle had flown back and hitting his back against the wall. Some blood had escaped his mouth and another knife met his neck before the light from his eyes had escaped. A shadowy figure had now approached Yangcong from behind and Yangcong had got to his feet as he panted shortly.
"Who are you?"
The woman placing her potato shack material hoody down and revealed her brown dusted color long hair that flowed over her shoulders. She gave a cocky smirk as she placed her hands to her hips.
"My name is Nashua."
Traveling through the now long and narrow cave which required a single file line, Nashua was ahead and the both of them felt eased for a brief moment since they couldn't detect any other organic life form within the cave.
"Yangcong is your name right? I have never heard of your name before, so I take it you aren't from this region?"
She casually looked over her shoulder and he nodded.
"That's right, I am from another region, most notably House Morkov."
Her eyes began to raise a brow.
"House Morkov? Ah, I know that House. Unfortunately the latest report is that it went up in ruins with no witnesses. So what was your business over there?"
Yangcong continued to speak, sliding his hands in his pocket.
"I was a common merchant just passing by."
She giggled and shook her head in disagreement.
"You expect me to believe someone of your power is a common merchant?"
Yangcong decided to flip the script, and gave her quite a stern look.
"And what about you? those common clothes isn't fooling anyone. Anyone who carries daggers for weapons are known assassins."
She turned around and stuck her tongue out.
"Not all saiyans are dumb I guess."
Yangcong spotted her tail wrapped around her waistline.
"But, you are a saiyan as well!"
"Yea, but i'm not dumb!"
Yangcong shook his head in disbelief and sighed.
"What are you doing all the way out here?"
Nashua having her hands on the back of her head.
"Well I came to find that bastard scientist and now his project Bio android."
"What do you want with the both of them?"
"Well, I was captured and enslaved by Stoneyork."
Yangcong's eyes had widen for a brief moment.
"But, it's nearly impossible to escape a slaves life from a House."
"Looks to me that this common merchant knows more than what he has lead me to believe."
Yangcong simply sighed.
"I was a slave to house Morkov and was able to escape."
"How so?"
"I worked up the ranks and became their Head guard."
"Ah, so it was you who eliminated that House then."
"That's right."
"Well I was so close to killing Lord York, but he is always surrounded by guards."
"I can help you with that."
"Well help me with this bio android and then we will talk."
They both had arrived at another open space but this time, water was at the halfway mark of the open area. They both had sensed a mysterious ki energy from within the waters. Nashua pulling out her blades and Yangcong uncovering his arms from his pockets and placing them behind his back.
"What? No weapons?"
"Just stay on your guard."
"Don't lecture me old man!"
She jumped into the air and spotting a figure within the bodies of water as she hurled one of her blades at it. Striking it and the bio android humanoid octopus escaping the body of water and yelling with a violent screech. Before she could throw her other blade, the octopus sending his tentacles straight at her and around her wrist. This caused her to drop her blade and now she was bounded by her legs and arms, stretched wide opened from her torso. Yangcong revealing both his arms now and immediately fired a strong ki beam straight at the monster, ripping apart his tentacles and ultimately damaging his body enough to where it had collapsed to the ground. Nashua removing the tentacles from her body and then walking beside Yangcong as they both towered the creature.
"For such a weak creature, they expected this bio android to pose a threat?"
Nashua looked over the body and folded her arms.
"Thats not the bio android."
"What."
The ground beneath them started to crack open and larger tentacles had emerged and wrapping them around Yangcong's body and sending a violent shock wave through his veins. The strong surge was more than enough to cause Yangcong to grunt in pain and fueling his anger. Nashua however had a different plan and as she threw her power ball into the air, her eyes caught it and her body had transformed into an ape. She grabbed the tentacles of the kraken and snapping it in half and with a strong punch, she destroyed the kraken's brain and skull. After doing all this, she reverted back to her regular size. Yangcong was in a daze and finally became aware at what had happened.
"So you used your ape abilities to best him I see."
She brought her hand to meet his and lifted him up.
"This is the second time I saved you now."
"So about the offer made earlier."
"You can come help me kill the Lord."
They both left the cave and headed their separate ways until the time came for the assault on the palace.
Yangcong was back at the Belle's palace and stood in front of the Lord in her throne room where she waited for the information.
"I was able to get rid of the scientist and Bio android."
He would toss over he bio android's head. After examining it, she looked towards him.
"What do you think we should do in terms of advancement?"
Yangcong looked to the Lord after rising up from his kneeled position.
"I have an acquaintance that wants to kill the Lord."
The Lord had raised a brow.
"Who might this acquaintance be?"
"I ran into her while in the cave, an assassin named Nashua."
"Can she be trusted?"
"From my dealings with her, yes."
A royal guard then had stepped forward, the Lord took notice and looked over her shoulder.
"Nashua the assassin is a bit of a gamble my Lord. She has taken out a dozen of our troops and Stoneyork's troops on both sides."
The Lord looking to Yangcong with this new bit of information.
"What do you think on the matter?"
"If things turn south, I will take care of it."
The Lt then chipped in as he stood next to the royal guard.
"I suggest we perform a night assault from the back of the palace. The less members the better. I will go, along with Yangcong, a royal guard, and Nashua the assassin."
The Lord rubbed her chin.
"Four person squad. The palace is rather big with heavy guards on patrol."
The Lt chipped in.
"We will have a platoon of troops ready in the forrest if things go south."
The Lord had a grin from cheek to cheek.
"Excellent."
Yangcong was just out of reach from the three others and speaking to Garrick with his scouter.
"We are going to assault the StoneYork Palace, it may seem risky, but I am confident on our ability to achieve victory."
Garrick agreed with Yangcong's decision and allowed him to continue. Yangcong and the three others headed straight to the back entrance of the palace. Assassinations were done quick and silently with Nashua's help. As they were rushing through and through eliminating the guards. The royal guard that had came with them was injured and killed from the assaults that were happening. As they continued their advancement, it began to take a toll as the incoming guards was building more and more. The outward assault had then taken place, aiding them and buying them enough time to kill the guards that were on their tail. As they reached the Lords throne room and before the doors, the LT was struck with a javelin to his chest from the Lords right hand as he guarded the double doors to the throne room. He died instantly and Yangcong and Nashua were left to fend for themselves.
Nashua performing a run up the wall type of fashion before sending a quick kick towards the right hand's cheek. Causing him to stagger and drop his sword in the process. Yangcong meanwhile was able to slide himself underneath the righthand's chin and slamming his elbow straight at his chest. Causing him to fly backwards and straight into the throne room with a grunting pain noise. Before he could get up, one of Nashua's daggers struck the man's throat. The Lord was in complete shock and Nashua placing her arm in front of Yangcong, wanting to fight the Lord all by herself. As the two went toe to toe, it seemed like an even match, but their tricks against one another was growing dull and the climax had then happened, a sword struck Nashua's stomach and then tossing her to the side like garbage. The Lord looked to Yangcong like a mad man and pointed his blade at him.
"I don't know who the fuck you are, trying to enter my palace!"
Yangcong smirked and looked to the Lord.
"Let's just say there is a higher power involved in all of this."
The Lord didn't want to hear any of it and started to do battle with Yangcong and the now tired Lord struggled to even lay a finger on Yangcong, as Yangcong was quick to disarm him and injure the Lords knee rather quickly with Nashua's dagger. The Lord was now paralyzed to even move and the palace was now being taken over. As the surviving few royal guards had made it, with the Lord herself. She towered over the Lord and brought her blade to his neck.
"Now, I will be the one to rule both regions!"
Yangcong had rushed over to the now dying Nashua.
"You did good. I won't ever forget your bravery and courage."
He closed her eyes and she then had passed. He walked over to the Lord that now looked at him with a joy on her face.
"You helped secure this palace! I will appoint you as my right hand!"
"Thank you."
As she turned around to look at guards, Yangcong stabbing the Lord with his full power straight at her heart and piercing it through the other side. The guards were in shocked and the Lord was already killed instantly. Before they could react, Garrick and his men had entered the Palace like a swat team and killing the others in the process. He stood beside Yangcong and smirked.
"Excellent work, killing two birds with one stone. There is going to be a reward for your heroism."
Yangcong's body was a veritable patchwork of bandages. His right eye was wrapped shut, arm stilled in a sling, and a large oversized black cloak draped down the side of his body. Standing on the balcony of his own private quarters, the aging man took a long drink of his cheap beer - the same stock that Commander Garrick ever so rarely tapped into. Picking up the sounds of approaching footsteps from the hallway, he turned and settled a single hand on a hidden blade as the door opened, a generic Saiyan Soldier standing at attention.
"The ceremony is to begin, sir."
He melded into the crowd quite well. He was a plain looking man after all, and aside from the obvious injuries Yangcong was not out of place in the slightest. It didn't take terribly long for a large imposing Saiyan to settle next to him clad in white-red armor.
"Not quite an event I'd think to see you at, Yangcong."
The voice belonged to Garrick of course, the man dressed in his 'formal' armor, carrying a nondescript can of Vegetan ale which he sipped at irregularly. Yangcong nodded, silent for a moment as the ceremony went on.
"I'm retiring from being a spy."
Garrick hummed, scratching his chin for a moment but looking not all that surprised.
"Well you've earned it. Your age finally catching up or is it the injuries?"
Yangcong shook his head lightly.
"No, I'd rather spend my remaining time training the next generation of warriors and actually devote myself to serving our military with pride rather than skulking about in the pretense of serving some stuffy nobles directly."
Garrick laughed heartily.
"Well I certainly hope that last part doesn't apply to me, eh? ...Ah, but to tell you something. My wife is pregnant now."
-
Yangcong gave his friend a genuine smile, sipping his own drink in return. Not much was known about the woman Garrick had been courting. Most considered her to be a simple concubine of sorts to pass the time before a man of his prestige found a real match in royalty to settle down with. Yet even to Yangcong, she was a mystery.
"Congratulations, I'm sure they will be strong and healthy."
The ceremony continued on, and soon enough Garrick would officially be given his birthright title of General. Such was the way of the Bloodthorne family.
"I'll see you later, Yangcong."
"Of course."
Garrick moved to the stage, the former spy slinking away from the proceedings towards his true destination for tonight - the graves of Saiyans with unrecovered bodies. He sighed, voice straining a bit as the man knelt before a certain headstone.
"Oh, my Yakone... You would have been five years old now."
The next phase had commence and three students was given a mentor saiyan. As the list got shorter and shorter, only three students were left due to their mentor Yangcong not being there. Malina, who was a red head pigtailed saiyan, started to fold her arms in frustration, the 18 year old was furious that everyone got to see their mentors right there and then, while they had to wait.
"WHERE THE HELL IS HE?! EVERYONE ELSE HAD SHOWN UP ON TIME!"
The loud mouth reckless woman had fire in her, passion, so much so that she was considered the scariest of the group. Next came Persik, blue haired mohawk saiyan that looked like he didn't even want to be there in the first place and had an uncaring vibe about him. The last student was Trava, a saiyan who had circular glasses on and a bowl cut. He didn't look strong but out of the three of them, he was. Yangcong had finally shown up, the three of them looked at him with shock. Malina's jaw had slightly dropped with a crazy look on her face.
("This has to be a joke. We get an injured saiyan as our trainer!")
Persik had scratched the back of his head.
("If I had known that this would of been my trainer I would of said something to Garrick")
Trava had snout coming from his nose as he fixed his glasses at the center of his face.
"Hi there, my name is Trava."
Yangcong looked at him and then the other two.
"My name is Yangcong."
All three of their jaws had dropped.
Malina had quickly rushed over to him and spotted the bandages covering his right eye. She stared at him face to face and spotted the hint of a red mark around his eye.
"It is you! You are the LordSlayer!"
Persik even though he had looked tough, he wasn't the smartest of the group.
"What the heck is a Lordslayer?"
Trava had stepped in, speaking in a nerdy type of tone.
"Well LordSlayer, is a title someone is given when they have assassinated a Lord. Though if he has killed more, I wonder wh-"
Persik had covered Trava's mouth so that he didn't bore him to death. Persik had approach Yangcong and eyed him with a serious glare.
"Lordslayer huh? You don't look that tough to me."
Yangcong had patted Malina's head and looked to the two others with a smirk.
"I have a special assignment for the three of ya! Meet me at the training grounds!"
Yangcong had vanished and the three of them headed down the hall towards the training grounds. Malina was jumping with joy, Persik had his arms behind his head, and Trava was looking up Yangcong record from his laptop. Malina looked to her partners and smiled.
"I can't believe we have been partner up with a legend!"
Persik wasn't impressed as he looked at her.
"Psh yea right! You kill one Lord and all of a sudden you are a hot shot! Just look at him! The old man barley even looks like he is forty."
Trava had looked to the two others, being on the opposite side of Persik.
"Actually to be more precise, Yangcong has killed Three Lords"
Persik's eyes had darted towards Trava.
"WHAT! THAT MUST BE SOME TYPE OF JOKE, GIVE ME THAT!"
Persik had taken the laptop from Trava and began to read Yangcong's file.
"Says here that his rank is official titled spy."
Malina had scratched her head.
"So he isn't a traditional soldier then? That means we have the odds on our side! We were trained specifically in the academy to fight!"
The three of them had finally arrived to the training grounds and Yangcong was eating an apple.
"Your lesson of the day is to beat me. Beat me and I will make you three my students."
Persik had cracked his knuckles and his neck.
"Say less!"
Persik had rushed straight at him, cocking his right arm back and attempted to deck him in the face with a right hook. Yangcong had stepped backwards and smacked Persik's face with his wooden cane, causing him to fly straight into the wall near him. Malina wasn't going to be shown up and she immediately jumped high into the air and performed as series of pink blast from her hands and tried to volley him with a barrage of them. Yangcong had slammed his cane to the ground, causing a red ki barrier to form in the process and protecting him from her attack. Trava on the other hand stood there terrified. Yangcong sending a straight ki blast at Trava, causing him to fly back and knock out in the process. This had surprised Yangcong since he didn't even put effort into it.
"I'M NOT DONE WITH YOU OLD MAN!"
Persik had came back and performed a barrage of fist straight at Yangcong, Yangcong using one arm to block all of his barrages as he kept walking backwards. Meanwhile Malina joined her partner and tried to kick him from the back. Yangcong had vanished and the both of them had impacted the other. Frustrated, Persik yelled at his teammate.
"WATCH WHERE YOU ARE GOING YOU IDIOT!"
"WHO YOU CALLING AN IDIOT YOU MOHAWK BLUE HAIR HEADED FREAK!"
"I'M THE FREAK? LOOK AT YOUR RED HAIR WHAT SAIYAN HAS RED HAIR!"
As much as Malina wanted to kill him, she had to calm herself. She locked his head into a headlock.
"Listen, he has previous injuries on his right side, if we body go for it, he won't be able to protect himself from us."
Persik had lit up with joy like it was Christmas.
"Your right. Lets get him."
The both of them had now flew straight to Yangcong and both of them were trying to strike him on his right side. Yangcong was quick enough to grab Malina with his left hand around her neck. Persik saw the opportunity to attempt to strike at his right side now, only to be grabbed by Yangcong's right arm around his neck with a tight grip.
"What... but how..."
Yangcong had sent the both of them to the ground and hurled a barrage of blast straight at them. Too injured to move, Yangcong had towered the both of them. Persik was so mad, he yelled.
"How the hell is that even possible! You are a spy! Not a soldier!"
Yangcong had smirked at him.
"How do you think I did my job as a spy so well and was able to kill three heads? Trickery and deception. Sometimes it's worth more than 100 strong men on your side."
Trava had finally awakened, and his ape like power had now uncovered and as he flew straight to Yangcong with no pupils in his eyes and a strong ki energy flowing around his body, he impacted his skull straight into Yangcong's body and sending him flying straight back into the wall. The power was so strong that it had shocked everyone and Yangcong had then raised to his feet and chuckled.
"Hehehe, good work. You three will officially start your missions tomorrow. get some rest."
Malina and Persik were excited, and Trava had now woken up to being confused and wondering what had happened. They both had hugged him and he accepted it even though he was clueless. As they headed back to their barracks, Yangcong had gone to his balcony and looked to the sky. Garrick had shown up drinking his beer and patted Yangcong on the back.
"So, are you happy that you got the three students?"
Yangcong had looked to Garrick with a serious stare.
"Tell me Garrick, did you know Trava is a bio android with Yakone's DNA?."
The next day had approach and Yangcong and his students were assigned their first mission, which was to locate a wanted Tuffle criminal. As they walked close together in the large scale forest, Yangcong kept his witts about him and not dropping his guard for a second. The kids however, are a different story. Malina was so excited with steam releasing from her ears.
"I am so excited! My first ever mission!"
Persik rolled his eyes and kept his hands behind his head.
"Yea yea, it's just a tuffle. Their race aren't a threat in the slightest."
Trava however was just doing his thing and using his laptop as they walked. Yangcong had interjected into their conversation as he let out a smirk.
"So you think tuffles aren't a threat huh? Their technology when it comes to weapons and all other electronics are advanced than ours."
Persik shook his head in disbelief.
"What the hell is their technology going to even do! I will blow them up!"
Yangcong patted the young man's head which messed up his mohawk.
"Thread lightly now, we are entering the illusionary forrest."
The trees had gone from bright green to a dusk purple. The three students were just amazed by it all, and Malina had looked to Yangcong with a joyful smile.
"Mr Yangcong, why do they call it the illusionary forrest?"
"I'm glad someone has taken an interest regarding history. The illusionary forrest isn't spiritually motivated. The tuffles had developed a device which cast illusions like this throughout the forest. It's to get unsuspected visitors to focus on things that really isn't there while they come out and attack you by surprise."
"You are a war vet I take it?" He lifted up his glass of vodka and Yangcong did the same to him in return. Yangcong nodded in response and casually drank to it.
"Yes sir, I served under Commander Garrick during my time as an active member. I took an honorary medical discharge ten years back because of my injuries."
The Lt was impressed as his eyes grew fixed together and slightly raised. He scoffed, "I bet you still have that war dog fight in you huh?"
Yangcong chuckled and took another sip.
"You know how we saiyans are, always ready to matter what."
The man was curious more than ever, since he had never seen such burn marks to that degree before.
"You served under Garrick, I heard he is one of the best Commanders to work under. Which war effort did you serve in?"
Yangcong shifted his eyes back at the man after downing the first round of whisky and ordering a second.
"Operation Annihilation. Which is how I received these burn marks. A tuffle demolitions expert I must say did this."
The Lt shook his head in almost disbelief and a slight chuckle added. "Those tuffle bastards sure make for good scientist and soldiers I must say despite the power gap."
Yangcong chuckled and started to drink his second round.
"If you don't mind me asking, what House do you serve?"
The Lt was surprised at first, but then he wasn't considering that most military didn't really tend to focus on Houses at all since all of their time was spent on the Galactic aspect of things.
"House WhistleBelle, we are currently the strongest House in the Western region and our rivals are the StoneYork."
Yangcong had chuckled and shook his head even more.
"Ah Stoneyork? This reminds me of the joke that the Military had always said about that House, how does it go again? He eats so much that..."
Lt had caught on the joke and finished it.
"You wonder how his army got so BIG to begin with."
They both had laughed a teary eye and the Lt had lost track of time as he looked at his scouter for a brief moment as a message had popped up.
"I am having so much fun that I forgot that I had to be somewhere. It was nice having a chat with you. I'm sorry, what was your name again?"
Yangcong rose to his seat and brought his hand out to shake the Lt.
"Yangcong, Sir."
"Lt Perets."
The next few days had passed and Yangcong spending his time mostly at the bar and at the same time getting a hotel that was just down the street from the bar. It had paid off since the Lt had showed up again. Yangcong sat at the bar counter again and the Lt had noticed him.
"Hey, it's nice seeing you again. The war vet haha."
Yangcong had called over the bartender.
"Order myself the whisky and my friend here his vodka and put it on my tab."
The LT calmly patted his shoulder and sitting next to him.
"You didn't need to do that. haha"
Yangcong chuckled as they both were given their drinks.
"Nonsense, no matter if you're from a House or the Military, you still are serving whether it's local or galactic."
The Lt agreed and nodded, as they both cling their glasses together.
"You know I was so interested in your War status, that I had looked you up and for some reason I couldn't find any records of you serving in that War Effort or your medical records?"
Yangcong chuckled and simply shrugged as he took a sip.
"I'm really not surprised at all my name wasn't mentioned. That operation doesn't include undercover operatives and medical records aren't disclosed if one is in the field of Undercover work."
The man had raised a brow.
"Your an undercover operative?"
Yangcong shifted his eyes towards the man after finishing down his drink.
"Not in the regular tradition of a spy. Undercover as in, I was sent not to gather intel which that was what a spy is used for, but as an enforcer so that the enemy believes that they are lower numbered soldiers than what the reality is. Those type of enforcers are considered undercover operatives and their main goal is to make the enemy believe they have the advantage."
The Lt looked to Yangcong with a curious stare.
"And you served under Commander Garrick?" He drank from his glass.
"That's right." Yangcong ordering another round.
The Lt stopping the bartender and raising back to his feet.
"No no, that won't be necessary, I have a meeting to get too. It was nice seeing you again."
After some days had passed, the Lt had came back and sat next to Yangcong once again.
"I have to apologize for my behavior the other day. Commander Garrick was able to verify your story and released your record to me. I just had to make sure you were the real deal. Many people lie about their military status."
Yangcong taking a sip of the whisky as it came to the counter.
"It's alright, I'm use to it by now. We under covers don't get a lot of respect compared to the infantry men."
The Lt nodded and an idea had came up in his mind.
"I know you are retired but, I would like to bring you in for House Belle. She needs strong soldiers to aid her during this time period."
The Lt came to the bars due to the growing feud between both Houses and knew that if both of them wanted to declare a civil war and destroy one another, then he feared that his House would lose. Yangcong tugged his lips into a smirk.
"I would be honored to serve your House, if they have this whisky."
The Lt has laughed.
"But of course we do. Come now."
Yangcong and the Lt had arrived at House Belle and the Lord had already spotted the new arrival before he had entered the gates. She wondered who this man was and now standing at the lobby, the Lords royal guards had arrived at the lobby first to inspect. They wore similar attire to the Lt but slightly different in the design choice. The Lord had raised a brow as he stood over the ledge of the second floor and next to the spiraling staircase.
"Lt Perets, who do we have here?"
Lt Perets kneeled before the Lord before rising back up.
"A former Saiyan military soldier who served under Commander Garrick ten years ago. I brought him here in hopes of changing the civil war effort against House Stoneyork."
The Lord now was within eye level of Yangcong and casually walking around him briefly.
"Your injuries, would they hinder you from a fight?"
"No." Yangcong had chuckle. He swayed her head at her royal guards and they immediately had sprung into action, the first jumping into the air and attempting to slice at Yangcong's head, the other tried to come from his right side and attempted an attack on his stomach. Yangcong had lifted his left finger and blocked the sword attack which was intended for his head, cracking it in the process. The other attack was caught with his hand in a tight grip. With one violent yell, he released a bit of his power and both the guards flew away from their weapons and impacting the wall and the other at the ground. Both were dazed by the attack and their weapons on the ground and Yangcong now stood with his arms to his back. The Lord was rather impressed and smirk.
"I hear you did undercover enforcer work."
Yangcong nodded and stood at a parade rest.
"That's right. When we needed to trick the tuffle forces that they were less of us on the field. We would pose as locals and waited to ambush them."
The Lord had her hand to her chin and lightly rubbed it as she met eye level with Yangcong after walking around him.
"And why didn't you go back to the war efforts?"
Yangcong briefly coughed into his fist before going back into place.
"As you know a military career is always active and depending your role, like mine was, I was sent to different planets all the time for months up to years. The weather conditions along with the food wasn't so good on my health nor my injuries. Foreign food wasn't always a delicacy and being much older than I was ten years ago, you feel the affects of your age start to kick in. Those who serve in a House, tend to stick to civil matters."
The Lord finally went back and stood next to her royal guards.
"Give him the guest bedroom, and Yangcong, your royal guard uniform will be there tomorrow morning. I have an assignment for you first thing. So be ready."
The assignment had already started, deep in a cave to the Eastern region of planet Vegeta where the Stoneyork's main region is. The cave had appeared as ancient as ever. From the cob webs that have grown overtime, to the vines all around the walls and floors. One would make the automatic guess that this place was once a laboratory of some sorts. Machinery pipes and the works were underneath the vines and making his way to the center of the cave where a big open section was now shown from the traditional narrow and steep type of environment. Yangcong had scanned the entire section before him as automatic lights had turned on. He was sent here to find any research which would lead to a new bio project that the Stoneyorks had been working on. From what he had guessed with the long term abandoned, maybe perhaps nothing was of the sort. However he carefully looked over the machines, no dust seemed to be placed there, almost like continued work had been going on here as of recent. He stepped ahead onto the computer before him, it had required a password in order to access it. He had lightly tapped onto his yellow scouter and had got into contact with the Lt.
"You were right about searching the caves. Out of the five I have searched, this is the only one that shows signs of recent activity. The problem is, a password is needed to access it."
The Lt wasn't worried about it, as he was close within the vicinity.
"Give me a second."
A few seconds had passed and it had paid off, the Lt had gotten back on the comms.
"Just hit the enter key."
Yangcong did just that and he had bypassed the security measure. He then had searched folder after folder about their journal log and finally, spotted the message about their Bio project. The computer had shut down and a tuffle scientist had walked in, angry and carrying with him would be his ki rifle. He aimed his rifle at him and Yangcong had responded by placing his arms up in the air. He began to slowly back away from the computer.
"Who the fuck are you, this is Stoneyork Territory. You better have a good reason to be here!"
"Calm down, I was hired by your Lord to be here."
The man took a step forward.
"I would have been alerted of a reason change. You're a bad liar."
Yangcong had blurred from his position and before he could make contact with the man from behind, the scientist quickly turned around and fired upon his right burnt shoulder. Causing Yangcong to grunt in pain and collapse on his back.
"I'm no ordinary tuffle scientist you saiyan worm!"
The tuffle scientist appearing to be a bit younger than Yangcong in age.
"You clearly are a fast one. I have to give you that."
The tuffle wasn't amused and pointed his rifle at Yangcong's chest. Any second he was going to fire it as he stepped away and pointed the rifle at his head. Yangcong had closed his eyes and placed his head down in shame. A knife was thrown straight into the rifle's barrel and an explosion had happened. The tuffle had flown back and hitting his back against the wall. Some blood had escaped his mouth and another knife met his neck before the light from his eyes had escaped. A shadowy figure had now approached Yangcong from behind and Yangcong had got to his feet as he panted shortly.
"Who are you?"
The woman placing her potato shack material hoody down and revealed her brown dusted color long hair that flowed over her shoulders. She gave a cocky smirk as she placed her hands to her hips.
"My name is Nashua."
Traveling through the now long and narrow cave which required a single file line, Nashua was ahead and the both of them felt eased for a brief moment since they couldn't detect any other organic life form within the cave.
"Yangcong is your name right? I have never heard of your name before, so I take it you aren't from this region?"
She casually looked over her shoulder and he nodded.
"That's right, I am from another region, most notably House Morkov."
Her eyes began to raise a brow.
"House Morkov? Ah, I know that House. Unfortunately the latest report is that it went up in ruins with no witnesses. So what was your business over there?"
Yangcong continued to speak, sliding his hands in his pocket.
"I was a common merchant just passing by."
She giggled and shook her head in disagreement.
"You expect me to believe someone of your power is a common merchant?"
Yangcong decided to flip the script, and gave her quite a stern look.
"And what about you? those common clothes isn't fooling anyone. Anyone who carries daggers for weapons are known assassins."
She turned around and stuck her tongue out.
"Not all saiyans are dumb I guess."
Yangcong spotted her tail wrapped around her waistline.
"But, you are a saiyan as well!"
"Yea, but i'm not dumb!"
Yangcong shook his head in disbelief and sighed.
"What are you doing all the way out here?"
Nashua having her hands on the back of her head.
"Well I came to find that bastard scientist and now his project Bio android."
"What do you want with the both of them?"
"Well, I was captured and enslaved by Stoneyork."
Yangcong's eyes had widen for a brief moment.
"But, it's nearly impossible to escape a slaves life from a House."
"Looks to me that this common merchant knows more than what he has lead me to believe."
Yangcong simply sighed.
"I was a slave to house Morkov and was able to escape."
"How so?"
"I worked up the ranks and became their Head guard."
"Ah, so it was you who eliminated that House then."
"That's right."
"Well I was so close to killing Lord York, but he is always surrounded by guards."
"I can help you with that."
"Well help me with this bio android and then we will talk."
They both had arrived at another open space but this time, water was at the halfway mark of the open area. They both had sensed a mysterious ki energy from within the waters. Nashua pulling out her blades and Yangcong uncovering his arms from his pockets and placing them behind his back.
"What? No weapons?"
"Just stay on your guard."
"Don't lecture me old man!"
She jumped into the air and spotting a figure within the bodies of water as she hurled one of her blades at it. Striking it and the bio android humanoid octopus escaping the body of water and yelling with a violent screech. Before she could throw her other blade, the octopus sending his tentacles straight at her and around her wrist. This caused her to drop her blade and now she was bounded by her legs and arms, stretched wide opened from her torso. Yangcong revealing both his arms now and immediately fired a strong ki beam straight at the monster, ripping apart his tentacles and ultimately damaging his body enough to where it had collapsed to the ground. Nashua removing the tentacles from her body and then walking beside Yangcong as they both towered the creature.
"For such a weak creature, they expected this bio android to pose a threat?"
Nashua looked over the body and folded her arms.
"Thats not the bio android."
"What."
The ground beneath them started to crack open and larger tentacles had emerged and wrapping them around Yangcong's body and sending a violent shock wave through his veins. The strong surge was more than enough to cause Yangcong to grunt in pain and fueling his anger. Nashua however had a different plan and as she threw her power ball into the air, her eyes caught it and her body had transformed into an ape. She grabbed the tentacles of the kraken and snapping it in half and with a strong punch, she destroyed the kraken's brain and skull. After doing all this, she reverted back to her regular size. Yangcong was in a daze and finally became aware at what had happened.
"So you used your ape abilities to best him I see."
She brought her hand to meet his and lifted him up.
"This is the second time I saved you now."
"So about the offer made earlier."
"You can come help me kill the Lord."
They both left the cave and headed their separate ways until the time came for the assault on the palace.
Yangcong was back at the Belle's palace and stood in front of the Lord in her throne room where she waited for the information.
"I was able to get rid of the scientist and Bio android."
He would toss over he bio android's head. After examining it, she looked towards him.
"What do you think we should do in terms of advancement?"
Yangcong looked to the Lord after rising up from his kneeled position.
"I have an acquaintance that wants to kill the Lord."
The Lord had raised a brow.
"Who might this acquaintance be?"
"I ran into her while in the cave, an assassin named Nashua."
"Can she be trusted?"
"From my dealings with her, yes."
A royal guard then had stepped forward, the Lord took notice and looked over her shoulder.
"Nashua the assassin is a bit of a gamble my Lord. She has taken out a dozen of our troops and Stoneyork's troops on both sides."
The Lord looking to Yangcong with this new bit of information.
"What do you think on the matter?"
"If things turn south, I will take care of it."
The Lt then chipped in as he stood next to the royal guard.
"I suggest we perform a night assault from the back of the palace. The less members the better. I will go, along with Yangcong, a royal guard, and Nashua the assassin."
The Lord rubbed her chin.
"Four person squad. The palace is rather big with heavy guards on patrol."
The Lt chipped in.
"We will have a platoon of troops ready in the forrest if things go south."
The Lord had a grin from cheek to cheek.
"Excellent."
Yangcong was just out of reach from the three others and speaking to Garrick with his scouter.
"We are going to assault the StoneYork Palace, it may seem risky, but I am confident on our ability to achieve victory."
Garrick agreed with Yangcong's decision and allowed him to continue. Yangcong and the three others headed straight to the back entrance of the palace. Assassinations were done quick and silently with Nashua's help. As they were rushing through and through eliminating the guards. The royal guard that had came with them was injured and killed from the assaults that were happening. As they continued their advancement, it began to take a toll as the incoming guards was building more and more. The outward assault had then taken place, aiding them and buying them enough time to kill the guards that were on their tail. As they reached the Lords throne room and before the doors, the LT was struck with a javelin to his chest from the Lords right hand as he guarded the double doors to the throne room. He died instantly and Yangcong and Nashua were left to fend for themselves.
Nashua performing a run up the wall type of fashion before sending a quick kick towards the right hand's cheek. Causing him to stagger and drop his sword in the process. Yangcong meanwhile was able to slide himself underneath the righthand's chin and slamming his elbow straight at his chest. Causing him to fly backwards and straight into the throne room with a grunting pain noise. Before he could get up, one of Nashua's daggers struck the man's throat. The Lord was in complete shock and Nashua placing her arm in front of Yangcong, wanting to fight the Lord all by herself. As the two went toe to toe, it seemed like an even match, but their tricks against one another was growing dull and the climax had then happened, a sword struck Nashua's stomach and then tossing her to the side like garbage. The Lord looked to Yangcong like a mad man and pointed his blade at him.
"I don't know who the fuck you are, trying to enter my palace!"
Yangcong smirked and looked to the Lord.
"Let's just say there is a higher power involved in all of this."
The Lord didn't want to hear any of it and started to do battle with Yangcong and the now tired Lord struggled to even lay a finger on Yangcong, as Yangcong was quick to disarm him and injure the Lords knee rather quickly with Nashua's dagger. The Lord was now paralyzed to even move and the palace was now being taken over. As the surviving few royal guards had made it, with the Lord herself. She towered over the Lord and brought her blade to his neck.
"Now, I will be the one to rule both regions!"
Yangcong had rushed over to the now dying Nashua.
"You did good. I won't ever forget your bravery and courage."
He closed her eyes and she then had passed. He walked over to the Lord that now looked at him with a joy on her face.
"You helped secure this palace! I will appoint you as my right hand!"
"Thank you."
As she turned around to look at guards, Yangcong stabbing the Lord with his full power straight at her heart and piercing it through the other side. The guards were in shocked and the Lord was already killed instantly. Before they could react, Garrick and his men had entered the Palace like a swat team and killing the others in the process. He stood beside Yangcong and smirked.
"Excellent work, killing two birds with one stone. There is going to be a reward for your heroism."
Yangcong's body was a veritable patchwork of bandages. His right eye was wrapped shut, arm stilled in a sling, and a large oversized black cloak draped down the side of his body. Standing on the balcony of his own private quarters, the aging man took a long drink of his cheap beer - the same stock that Commander Garrick ever so rarely tapped into. Picking up the sounds of approaching footsteps from the hallway, he turned and settled a single hand on a hidden blade as the door opened, a generic Saiyan Soldier standing at attention.
"The ceremony is to begin, sir."
He melded into the crowd quite well. He was a plain looking man after all, and aside from the obvious injuries Yangcong was not out of place in the slightest. It didn't take terribly long for a large imposing Saiyan to settle next to him clad in white-red armor.
"Not quite an event I'd think to see you at, Yangcong."
The voice belonged to Garrick of course, the man dressed in his 'formal' armor, carrying a nondescript can of Vegetan ale which he sipped at irregularly. Yangcong nodded, silent for a moment as the ceremony went on.
"I'm retiring from being a spy."
Garrick hummed, scratching his chin for a moment but looking not all that surprised.
"Well you've earned it. Your age finally catching up or is it the injuries?"
Yangcong shook his head lightly.
"No, I'd rather spend my remaining time training the next generation of warriors and actually devote myself to serving our military with pride rather than skulking about in the pretense of serving some stuffy nobles directly."
Garrick laughed heartily.
"Well I certainly hope that last part doesn't apply to me, eh? ...Ah, but to tell you something. My wife is pregnant now."
-
Yangcong gave his friend a genuine smile, sipping his own drink in return. Not much was known about the woman Garrick had been courting. Most considered her to be a simple concubine of sorts to pass the time before a man of his prestige found a real match in royalty to settle down with. Yet even to Yangcong, she was a mystery.
"Congratulations, I'm sure they will be strong and healthy."
The ceremony continued on, and soon enough Garrick would officially be given his birthright title of General. Such was the way of the Bloodthorne family.
"I'll see you later, Yangcong."
"Of course."
Garrick moved to the stage, the former spy slinking away from the proceedings towards his true destination for tonight - the graves of Saiyans with unrecovered bodies. He sighed, voice straining a bit as the man knelt before a certain headstone.
"Oh, my Yakone... You would have been five years old now."
The next phase had commence and three students was given a mentor saiyan. As the list got shorter and shorter, only three students were left due to their mentor Yangcong not being there. Malina, who was a red head pigtailed saiyan, started to fold her arms in frustration, the 18 year old was furious that everyone got to see their mentors right there and then, while they had to wait.
"WHERE THE HELL IS HE?! EVERYONE ELSE HAD SHOWN UP ON TIME!"
The loud mouth reckless woman had fire in her, passion, so much so that she was considered the scariest of the group. Next came Persik, blue haired mohawk saiyan that looked like he didn't even want to be there in the first place and had an uncaring vibe about him. The last student was Trava, a saiyan who had circular glasses on and a bowl cut. He didn't look strong but out of the three of them, he was. Yangcong had finally shown up, the three of them looked at him with shock. Malina's jaw had slightly dropped with a crazy look on her face.
("This has to be a joke. We get an injured saiyan as our trainer!")
Persik had scratched the back of his head.
("If I had known that this would of been my trainer I would of said something to Garrick")
Trava had snout coming from his nose as he fixed his glasses at the center of his face.
"Hi there, my name is Trava."
Yangcong looked at him and then the other two.
"My name is Yangcong."
All three of their jaws had dropped.
Malina had quickly rushed over to him and spotted the bandages covering his right eye. She stared at him face to face and spotted the hint of a red mark around his eye.
"It is you! You are the LordSlayer!"
Persik even though he had looked tough, he wasn't the smartest of the group.
"What the heck is a Lordslayer?"
Trava had stepped in, speaking in a nerdy type of tone.
"Well LordSlayer, is a title someone is given when they have assassinated a Lord. Though if he has killed more, I wonder wh-"
Persik had covered Trava's mouth so that he didn't bore him to death. Persik had approach Yangcong and eyed him with a serious glare.
"Lordslayer huh? You don't look that tough to me."
Yangcong had patted Malina's head and looked to the two others with a smirk.
"I have a special assignment for the three of ya! Meet me at the training grounds!"
Yangcong had vanished and the three of them headed down the hall towards the training grounds. Malina was jumping with joy, Persik had his arms behind his head, and Trava was looking up Yangcong record from his laptop. Malina looked to her partners and smiled.
"I can't believe we have been partner up with a legend!"
Persik wasn't impressed as he looked at her.
"Psh yea right! You kill one Lord and all of a sudden you are a hot shot! Just look at him! The old man barley even looks like he is forty."
Trava had looked to the two others, being on the opposite side of Persik.
"Actually to be more precise, Yangcong has killed Three Lords"
Persik's eyes had darted towards Trava.
"WHAT! THAT MUST BE SOME TYPE OF JOKE, GIVE ME THAT!"
Persik had taken the laptop from Trava and began to read Yangcong's file.
"Says here that his rank is official titled spy."
Malina had scratched her head.
"So he isn't a traditional soldier then? That means we have the odds on our side! We were trained specifically in the academy to fight!"
The three of them had finally arrived to the training grounds and Yangcong was eating an apple.
"Your lesson of the day is to beat me. Beat me and I will make you three my students."
Persik had cracked his knuckles and his neck.
"Say less!"
Persik had rushed straight at him, cocking his right arm back and attempted to deck him in the face with a right hook. Yangcong had stepped backwards and smacked Persik's face with his wooden cane, causing him to fly straight into the wall near him. Malina wasn't going to be shown up and she immediately jumped high into the air and performed as series of pink blast from her hands and tried to volley him with a barrage of them. Yangcong had slammed his cane to the ground, causing a red ki barrier to form in the process and protecting him from her attack. Trava on the other hand stood there terrified. Yangcong sending a straight ki blast at Trava, causing him to fly back and knock out in the process. This had surprised Yangcong since he didn't even put effort into it.
"I'M NOT DONE WITH YOU OLD MAN!"
Persik had came back and performed a barrage of fist straight at Yangcong, Yangcong using one arm to block all of his barrages as he kept walking backwards. Meanwhile Malina joined her partner and tried to kick him from the back. Yangcong had vanished and the both of them had impacted the other. Frustrated, Persik yelled at his teammate.
"WATCH WHERE YOU ARE GOING YOU IDIOT!"
"WHO YOU CALLING AN IDIOT YOU MOHAWK BLUE HAIR HEADED FREAK!"
"I'M THE FREAK? LOOK AT YOUR RED HAIR WHAT SAIYAN HAS RED HAIR!"
As much as Malina wanted to kill him, she had to calm herself. She locked his head into a headlock.
"Listen, he has previous injuries on his right side, if we body go for it, he won't be able to protect himself from us."
Persik had lit up with joy like it was Christmas.
"Your right. Lets get him."
The both of them had now flew straight to Yangcong and both of them were trying to strike him on his right side. Yangcong was quick enough to grab Malina with his left hand around her neck. Persik saw the opportunity to attempt to strike at his right side now, only to be grabbed by Yangcong's right arm around his neck with a tight grip.
"What... but how..."
Yangcong had sent the both of them to the ground and hurled a barrage of blast straight at them. Too injured to move, Yangcong had towered the both of them. Persik was so mad, he yelled.
"How the hell is that even possible! You are a spy! Not a soldier!"
Yangcong had smirked at him.
"How do you think I did my job as a spy so well and was able to kill three heads? Trickery and deception. Sometimes it's worth more than 100 strong men on your side."
Trava had finally awakened, and his ape like power had now uncovered and as he flew straight to Yangcong with no pupils in his eyes and a strong ki energy flowing around his body, he impacted his skull straight into Yangcong's body and sending him flying straight back into the wall. The power was so strong that it had shocked everyone and Yangcong had then raised to his feet and chuckled.
"Hehehe, good work. You three will officially start your missions tomorrow. get some rest."
Malina and Persik were excited, and Trava had now woken up to being confused and wondering what had happened. They both had hugged him and he accepted it even though he was clueless. As they headed back to their barracks, Yangcong had gone to his balcony and looked to the sky. Garrick had shown up drinking his beer and patted Yangcong on the back.
"So, are you happy that you got the three students?"
Yangcong had looked to Garrick with a serious stare.
"Tell me Garrick, did you know Trava is a bio android with Yakone's DNA?."
The next day had approach and Yangcong and his students were assigned their first mission, which was to locate a wanted Tuffle criminal. As they walked close together in the large scale forest, Yangcong kept his witts about him and not dropping his guard for a second. The kids however, are a different story. Malina was so excited with steam releasing from her ears.
"I am so excited! My first ever mission!"
Persik rolled his eyes and kept his hands behind his head.
"Yea yea, it's just a tuffle. Their race aren't a threat in the slightest."
Trava however was just doing his thing and using his laptop as they walked. Yangcong had interjected into their conversation as he let out a smirk.
"So you think tuffles aren't a threat huh? Their technology when it comes to weapons and all other electronics are advanced than ours."
Persik shook his head in disbelief.
"What the hell is their technology going to even do! I will blow them up!"
Yangcong patted the young man's head which messed up his mohawk.
"Thread lightly now, we are entering the illusionary forrest."
The trees had gone from bright green to a dusk purple. The three students were just amazed by it all, and Malina had looked to Yangcong with a joyful smile.
"Mr Yangcong, why do they call it the illusionary forrest?"
"I'm glad someone has taken an interest regarding history. The illusionary forrest isn't spiritually motivated. The tuffles had developed a device which cast illusions like this throughout the forest. It's to get unsuspected visitors to focus on things that really isn't there while they come out and attack you by surprise."
