Pitt had finished setting up a camp in the barren wastes. It was a sunny day, perfect for spotting the green creatures. Usually Pitt didn't enjoy this activity as much as his older brother, but he was excited today. He had finally finished the camp, complete with three tents a campfire and a cauldron to cook with. In the center he had also brought along a strange tower with a satellite dish mounted at it's peak. He punched in a few things on the devices screen, and sent a message out to Yangcong. An invitation to go hunting, or even spar if he felt the need.
Pitt had no care what they planned to do once Yang arrived. All he cared about was trying to get some more stories of the warriors life out of him. Maybe even gleam some military knowledge to help him in the war to come. He also sent out a few more messages, unsure if they had been sent correctly on the prehistoric machine. The dish fell off as he finished. He hoped his day off wouldn't amount to him just sneaking off to train. He was feeling a bit lazy after his last mission.
What would the day bring Pitt wondered. If he ended up fighting with Yangcong he wouldn't hold back. He also thought back to their mission, and the tech his partner had employed. He made a mental note to also ask about that before he got about to tending the camp. He had readied some saiba bait, which was just meat melted with some of the local acid. As he finished he sighed and watched the sky while sitting on a log on its side.

Yangcong had received a message from Pitt to go see him. As he got the coordinates, he thought about the mercenary place that they had originally met at and the first thing he had thought in his mind was the food. When Pitt had given him food which was bread, he remembered that food was a good thing to bring to him. So as he arrived to where Pit was, he carried with him capsules of good food from Earth. Upon arriving to the camp site, he would toss the capsules to the side as they opened. Upon being opened, dishes were served from chickens, pork, and all the works that anyone would love. This food would be an all you can eat baffet. As he sat down and looked to Pitt, he smiled as he just wore his robotic suit without the helmet on.
"It's been a while huh? I had gone back to planet Earth and came back with a lot of food that I was going to save for myself. But, I decided why not show it to you Pitt. Since food is something that saiyans and tuffles do like even at war times."
He would look at him as he folded his hands together and now was hunched over.
Pitt was happy to see his summons was received as Yangcong arrived. The veteran had showed up wearing his armor as usual, but brought gifts. He chucked some capsules onto the ground, a schmorgesborg appearing before their eyes. Pitt was in disbelief! He hadn't expected anything of his friend, but this was a gift and a half. He said it was food from Earth, a planet unknown to the Saiyan. But the meals that laid before him cemented in his mind he would have to visit one day. Pitt was asked to enjoy to his hearts content, an offer he couldn't refuse. "This smell...It's amazing you sure!?"
The lumbering Saiyan had a wide smile on his face as he began his banquet. He scarfed down food, not knowing the word manners. He cleaned off two of everything before him, giving a signaling burp as he finished. He wiped the remnants from his face and gave Yangcong an approving thumbs up. "This is the best food I've ever had in my life." Pitt's eyes welled up with joy. The last time he cried was when he was a toddler.
He stood up from the table reluctantly, regaining his composure. "Well I got us a camp here to do whatever you'd like. If you're really here to Saiba hunt, I found a few of the creatures to the North. I got a hunch there's a nest that way. We'll have to hoof it though, they spook easily." Pitt eagerly awaited Yangcong's answer. He had been idle for too long, and now he wanted to get some energy out of his system.

It seemed like the saiyan was enjoying the meal that Yangcong had provided and he knew that he would have liked it since the meals he liked, Yangcong had also liked once he had moved to Earth. Now that time had passed and the energy was needed to spend. Yangcong headed straight to a nearby saibamen campsite and simply smirked as the destroyed camp was clearly done by them and he casually looked over at his partner.
"I actually have never fought one of these guys before..."
Yangcong would however, toss over a lighting canister at one of them and it would immediately shock it into submission and kill it on the spot. The others have rushed over to him like a wild animal and before they could reach him, Yangcong would pull out his concealed whip and strike the both of them before they could even reach him. The whip was really an electrical wire and it would retract back to its original location which was inside the wrist of his robotic uniform.
"This was relatively much easier than I had originally thought."
However this was just the bait as one would call it. The real threats, were the ones just over the hill.
Pitt stretched as his hunting buddy began the shootout. The hybrid said he hadn't dealt with a Saiba before. Made sense seeing as they never dared tread into warzones, or anywhere near an obvious threat. He quickly dispatched a Saiba, followed by two more. Yangcong used more tech then necessary, but that's just how he rolled. Pitt gave a whistle in admiration as he caught up to Yangcong near the electrified corpses. Pitt let out a laugh at the mention of them being weaker than Yangcong anticipated.
"The trick isn't to dwell on their weakness, it's to get a clean kill on the slippery bastards." Pitt said pointing to the electrified pile. He was going to offer some tips to Yangcong, but at the top of the hill above were the two resided was an angry swarm. Pitt was curious why a Saibaman would ever openly attack someone without a command but he shrugged it off. He Aimed a ki blast, using the space between his thumb and index on the back of his open palm as a scope. He sent a weak bullet right into the first two's skulls, the bodies rolling gently down the hill.
"That was weird, usually these things don't strike out at us like that. Unless their in a big group or... they were running away from something. Watch out!" Right on queue a massive Saiba beast showed itself. Spitting acid towards the two and melting a hole in the dirt between them. It appeared to be a mutant of some sort, with three long limbs equipped with mouths jutting from it's back. It stood taller than Pitt, making it at least twelve feet tall. It let out a acid filled roar at the duo, hunched over on it's four massive legs. The beast was claws, teeth, and acid all over!

As he took Pitt's lessons in learning about these creatures, about that time a giant sized saiba would show up and this one was big and bad. Yangcong quickly had rushed after him just to test him out and before he could do anything, the saiba quickly brought fort his hand and pinned Yangcong straight to the ground. If it wasn't for his armor, he would have been stabbed. Nevertheless, He would reach into his pocket and immediately tossed two smoke grenades at him. The explosion and the smoke was enough to make it cough and release him, this being enough for him to escape and be by Pitts side once again.
"Looks like you can't reason with it huh."
The saiba kept making keee keeee noises or whatever.
"Probably, this would do the trick!"
Yangcong had immediately pulled out his whip and sent it straight to the beast! It would wrap around its arm and began to electrify, only to have that much of a resistance against it. Now it was the Saiba's turn and he yanked the wire straight towards him and Yangcong went flying towards him. Yangcong was quick enough to cut the wire with his hidden golden concealed knife and was able to control himself to where he appeared on top of the saiba's body and stabbing both the side of his neck with the twin golden daggers. This proved to be useless as he hurled Yangcong back with its strength and caused him to hit the ground with his back.
Pitt followed his friend into battle, thinking the two could make short work of the beast. After all it was still just another Saiba no matter how big. They quickly learned of their folly as the beast lashed out. Yangcong was pinned by the beast, and Pitt was sent flying. A huge leg lined with barbs smacked into him, leaving him with many small marks across his armor. It seems him and Yang both were thankful for their durable armor. Smoke filled the area due to smoke grenades tossed by the hybrid, clouding the beast and letting him get free. Pitt landed him and Yang now standing side by side.
"Alright, if you got a plan I'll back you up!" Pitt said as Yangcong sent out wire, attempting to shock the beast into submission. It didn't do much other than piss the thing off. After some acrobatics Yang was atop the beast going at it's neck with daggers. That's when the Saiyan flew into action. He raced under the beast watching Yang get flung off it's back. From beneath it the warrior surrounded his fists with ki, managing to hurt it with his massive swings. It was rare for Pitt to fight such a larger opponent, he thought it must be what the Tuffles felt like against him. From beneath it Pitt would attempt to fly up after delivering his blows. The beast sent toppling over onto it's backside.
This was enough to hurt it, finally it showed some damage. It still seemed to favor it's odds though, continuing it's assault on the two. With all three of it's limbs it gave chase to Pitt. He took off into the air, but the speed of the creature was too great. The Saiba beast slamming Pitt into the ground much like Yangcong. "Looks like we're gonna need more juice to take it down! Any bigger artillery in your arsenal Yang?"

As Yangcong saw his partner go all out, he would desperate attempt to find something within his arsenal in order to take the beast down. As a drip of sweat would fall from the side of his cheek, he would examine the creature for a second and finally, he would push himself forward with extreme speed. Upon going faster than normal, he would leap towards the creature and as the creature attempted to spit him with acid from its mouth, Yangcong would hurl his lighting canister straight into its mouth. As the creature was dealt with shock. Yangcong had vanished and appeared right behind the creature as it was still being electrocuted and finally got himself a new wire from his other arm and fired his electric whip around the creatures neck. Causing so much damage in electricity that it caused the creature to collapse. Yangcong would end it all with two golden daggers to its eyes, effectively blinding him and bleeding him. The creature taking so much damage that at this point the creature was dead and Yangcong had collapse as he started to breath a bit heavy.
"Hehe, now I know why I don't come here at all! These creatures are rather difficult to say the least."
It seemed Yangcong did have a plan after all, using the same type as tech from before but delivered inside the beast hungry gullet. Pitt was impressed by Yangcong's speed, and brutality. Efficiently and with relative ease, the hybrid manages to hit the beasts eyes leaving it to bleed out in moments. The large Saiyan gave out an impressed whistle. He was happy to see how much stronger the veteran had come. It seemed that even though he was retired form the military, he was still actively gaining strength. "Nice job pal! Not my cup of tea but your damned good with those daggers." Pitt said as he looked over the beast giving it a kick to assure it was dead. A bit of smoke left it's mouth from it's charred innards signaling that was the case.
"Well dangerous as it is, these things make for great training. Wanna go find the nest? Someone's gotta do it, or these things will run rampant." Pitt said trying to convince Yangcong to tag along. "Judging by the direction, I'm pretty sure... yeah that way can't be more than a few clicks." Pitt finished his statement by pointing over the hill were the beast had come from. He had a good idea of how to track but no where near as good as his brothers ability. "So wadda you say pal, you game?"

"It took me years to become a pro with these daggers. I actually stole them from a high ranking tuffle captain a few years back. You could say I was born for them. and a nest you say huh? I didn't know these things really had an entire base of them around? I just assumed they just spawn here and there? Where do they live in caves? underground? in a building? Even though this is the first time i have seen these creatures, I did have soldiers back in the day come back to the medical bay with serious injuries and loss limbs because of these guys exploding on them. Talk about a self sacrifice and a disregard for caring for their own lives for that matter. Nevertheless, if we are going for the nest for these creatures. we should make sure they don't resurrect again. isn't there a way to find out where the nesting for these creatures are and just blow it up? or has this entire wilderness become their home?"
Yangcong kept pondering the idea and finally moved on as he followed Pitt to the nest, wherever that was. He pulled out a cigarette and continued to smoke it and exhaling since it kept him calm.
Yangcong mentioned stealing his daggers from a Tuffle captain years back, which made Pitt sigh in relief. He had no need to worry about the destron in that case, Yang probably just had it form stolen shipments. The Saiyan got a kick out of the Tuffles suffering from their own creations. His hunting buddy continued with many questions about the beasts they sought, explaining the most he had seen of them was his injured soldiers wounds. "Yeah they do pop up all over the wastes, but the big ones seem a bit smarter. They shack up in all sorts of places if the areas big enough. Helped a farmer who lost his lands to the damn things once, not a fun time. That's why I want to smash em' before they cause a problem. Nip it in the bud know what I mean?"
Yangcong lit a cigarette as they advanced. Something Pitt hadn't seen anyone do since his days with his previous corp'. Pitt gave a hand signal to hold and laid prone on a ridge. Below them about twenty yards away was what seemed to be an oversized ant hill. Pitt confirmed it to be the beasts lair when he spotted one entering. "There they are Yang, but I can't tell how many of those things are in there. If their strong as that first one I got no clue how to approach this, any ideas?"

They had finally arrived to the nest of the place. From looks alone, it looked like a combination of many smaller hills or rather bumps coming out of the ground in a cluster. From the looks of it, the entrance to this nest was covered in acids both new and old. It looked like a mini maze from their height alone but it still concealed the majority of how many were in there to begin with. He looked around his surrounds as he now got into the prone position and looked at all of the open spaces around the region and them. From what Yangcong could tell, only the evolutionary ones were here and the weaker ones was out roaming about. Probably that is how the smaller ones got stronger by attacking anyone who was alone out here and attacking them as a group. This only brought more disgust across his face. As his partner had asked for any ideas, Yangcong only had one.
"I remember a mission I had done many years ago. It involved entering a cave that had nothing but monsters in them. I had to escort a royal prince through it. However, I had to get him through it safely."
Yangcong had now hopped off the hill and got a little bit closer to the nest and as he pulled out a few smoke canisters from his armor, he hurled it straight into the nest and waited for the results to take affect. As the monsters had now rushed out and were coughing and dazed due to the smoke, Yangcong had tossed over lighting canisters that did their job to incapacitate them effectively. However there was already too many of them to begin with, so hopefully his teammate could get rid of the rest.
Pitt was laying prone on the hill and was happy to hear his ally had been in a similar situation. And while escorting a royal was a noble caise, Pitt was glad they needn't worry for some weakling this time. Much like an exterminator Yangcong showed off his method of dealing with the beasts. With more canisterrs he smoked them out, leaving the giant creatures running out with smoke in their lungs.
He followed up his trickery with a few electric infused grenades of sorts. Pitt had no clue what mad the tech work, but was impressed by them regardless. The lightning canisters seemed to do their work, taking out a good chunk of the beasts.
"Good work pal, time to do my part!" With a leap he descended upon a pack of three beasts. He landed on one of their heads using the element of surprise to deliver a blast through it's skull. It's green brain matter painted against the ground.
The other two let out a cry and made a dash for Pitt. He was able to dodge their attacks by dancing around the large corpse he had made. Slowly taking out the appendages jutting from their backs before delievering a similar blast from before through their heads.
He clapped his hands together being proud of his work. He called out to his friend waving to show his position. He hoped that Yangcong would be impressed by his deed. He hadn't noticed one more larger beast that emerged from the smoke. It let out a roar to signal Pitt's error before pouncing towards him, pinning the Saiyan beneath a large clawed limb.
Pitt struggled beneath the weight of the Saiba monstrosity, his blood trickled down from where a claw had pierced him.

Yangcong had noticed his partners victory and cheered him on, only for it to come down to sorrow as he noticed that another saiba had came forth and this one was big to say the least. Yangcong was quick to rush towards to aid his partner. However, he was stopped by another saiba that now resembled that of a snake. It would kakaka at him and finally move its body at a fast pace and trying to squeeze Yangcong in a tight grip with its entire body. It had succeeded in snaring him and Yangcong only had hand movement just barely as he struggled to reach the button on his suit. He had no choice now as he grunted in agony and finally, he was able to press the button which dropped a few lighting canisters onto the creature. Effectively stunning the saiba snake and causing it to collapse to the ground entirely. Now Yangcong was free and as he reached the monster in time, he sent a straight right hook to its face as Yangcong took a big leap of faith and hammered his fist straight into the beast. Yangcong had freed his partner and caused the beast to land on its feet. Yangcong was now busy attending to his partners wound. He would search his compartment and found a bandage along with some alcohol. He had now applied the alcohol on his wound and quickly began to bandage it up. He had hoped that this was enough to keep him stable.
Pitt grunted in pain as he remained pinned, staving off another limb with a ki blast into the tiny alien mouth. The limb let out a pained screech leaving Pitt for now smoke lines dispersing from it. It seems he wouldn't have to wait long after that, his friend had managed an escape from another beast and come to his aid. With a heavy swing Yangcong sent the beast back enough to apply some bandages to Pitt. The large Saiyan hissed in pain as the alcohol made contact with his wound, but at least the bandage was applied successfully.
"Damn thanks, but that stuff burns like hell! Seems like every time we hang out I get some new injury." Pitt laughed as he stood back up and stared down his foe. He rushed towards the Saiba beast that damaged him and let out his frustration in the form of strikes. He would make sure the beast knew twice the pain he did. The towering warrior took out it's right legs first, starting with the front and then the back. He flew out from beneath it as it crashed into the ground. Pitt soared up above it and charged a large ball of red energy. He threw the orb of destructive ki into the beasts back smashing into the ground before expanding. The ki tore a huge chunk out of the saiba leaving it dead with a hole in its center.
"Yang I forgot to mention, we need to clear our the queen and any eggs that are layin around. Careful though the queens are usually more nasty than the normal creeps."
Very sorry for the long wait crazy week apologies!
