8 THE RACE OF PRIDE

They arrive at the Steak city, blooming greenery, population in hundred thousands, everyone busy with their own life, skyscrapers covered the skies reaching out the city, banks, amusement parks, carnivals, it looked like a great time to be in the city altogether. Then there were these thieves, locals had put out banners about them, top 2 of them straight out, tongue out, finger gestured the names highlighted,

"Caulifla"

"KALE"

Jaco looked to them with disgusted face, "are those who we looking for?"

"Yes", he said no questions, no post answer, " are you lost somewhere Dad?", Trunks asked, Goten looked at the advert banners, "My father, King Vegeta once told me, that there was the Sadala of our universe, so much politically and technically advanced and diverse that every other planet envied us. So they divided us, brainwashed us, broke us apart in factions, made us fight the war we weren't meant to, and here we are, ashes piled".

He looked worried towards his dad, "Wait! Would you rule the planet if it would've been alive at the moment? damn, I must've been prince Trunks and mom, Queen Bulma!". He looked to his son, gave a smirk, "I can do that anytime I want, I don't have the motivations and experience I would've gained seeing my dad".

The square over the center of the city where the arrived almost on time of the announcement, robots and Saiyans gathered, "People of the Steak city, welcome to the announcement timing, our king, King Sadala has announced a ceremony of tournament, time of the life, time of the moment this planet was born, let us come together, give this world a blast of a celebration, not only the Steak city but 20 more will be participating in the set of tournaments taking place right outside this city. So, get ready and lets hit the show!", the mic turned off, disappeared, "You guys look new and weird", a Saiyan interrupted them, "Yes..", Goten bowed, "We are not from this planet, it would be great if you guide us the way around", politeness and humble words disgusted Vegeta but he ignored it at the moment, "Of course, its our duty, I am Nion, the patrol on duty in the city, you can call us cops in general, come on follow me", she is a young lady almost as the age of Kale and Caulifla, taller than both, she had big tied up hairs and wore a blue attire of patrols, that's how locals identify them, so they nicknamed them. She took Goten's hand and everyone just followed her, "So… can you tell us something these banners and that announcement didn't about this city", Jaco asked with curiosity gazing over the city, "well our city is a trade hub, millions of trades take place here every year, it's the king's favorite but he can't reside here since he lives in the castle out in the Starter city. The coolest thing is...", she looks at Goten with a smile, "there is a Carnival held here every month, lots of rides, foods and games, a big parade at the end! It's always energetic and joyful", all this time they talked Vegeta didn't said a word, just a disgusted face, thinking that maybe this all is the reason why they didn't ran full speed in progressing their power level or perhaps the reason why they are rich in S cells. Whatever the thoughts ran in his mind, sooner they arrived at the station, "This is the patrol command station of this city, have a sit ill let you guys know when we have a guide free". The station was full of colors too, it's like the whole station is hyped for the carnival too, "Wait a minute, I have seen them somewhere", Trunks pointed out the same board poster of Kale and Caulifla, they saw outside and it's in, smaller sized but bold letters, "Those are some of the notorious thieves of this whole freaking planet, I wanted to catch them but we have failed so many times, one day for sure-".

"where can I find them", Vegeta interrupted her, " I don't exactly know it…..hmm…. Wait a minute! Why would you want to find them?!", she shocked and suspiciously looked at them, "They are our friends, right dad?", Trunks said, "Oh fuck, no, no, no this kid is just joking, we were just curious", the officers around them stooped too until an alarm triggered, " alert! The thieves are seen in the corner of sector 35, Division E, state bank, all officers are ordered immediate regroup!", her expression changed, "Yes! This might be our time! You guys stay here, we need to talk!", she, with other officers ran out and took the floating bikes, "Stay here ok! I will be back!", flew away in air, "Now what?", Jaco looked at Vegeta, he gave a smile, "Oh no".

"Alright people, I'll say this once, hand over the God damn money", the thief stood looking on everyone as they raise their hands up, a blue-red mask of a weird pattern, the thief had allies, topping the heist, they had everyone tied up and blasting cases off for the money, "But… you already have the bank money. Why do you need ours?", someone in the hostage crowd asked, "Why? Why? You see…", the thief walked around them as the other ones did their job, "…my mentor once told me….do everything completely…even if it's something bad so, I am doing it completely besides, who can ignore those big bags of yours", thief hand forward, snatched them one by one, "You guys have been surrounded by patrol, give up and surrender, there won't be any fight", the thief smirked, and pointed left hand over the door, a ki blast came out and it burned the entrance, the big door melted and gave a unusual posture to the patrol, the environment in the bank has now intensified, the people in the bank were around 15, all hostages were tied up and their bags snatched, the safe was getting emptied, a kid cried, the mother comforted him, their were bodies of the guards they are not dead, just paralyzed, they were firing ki blasts randomly, roofs, windows, doors the hostages maintained in terror, "Sir, give us the word I am sick of sitting outside, it was Nion, on her bike sitting and staring like other patrols, "No, you are not ranked high enough for that", a voice replied, as her eyes shortened off anger she closed the band thing she was using to contact the center, "Like hell I will sit like this!!", she rammed her bike towards the entrance, got off and started walking towards the melted door, the other patrols were in shock, they couldn't stop her, hands closed together opened from palms she yelled, "YAHHH", a ki charge developed, it blasted open the gate outwards, there they stood, the 4 thieves, guns and ki blasts on hostages, "One move, one move Nion", she was confused, she concentrated, "Its you! I should be known, that's why I was not allowed to enter, I can't let you off like this", two of the thieves charged at her, she bent, punched one towards the roof, the other towards the floor as the left hook was perfectly fitting the face, teeth spotted out, this pissed out the other thieves, they left the bags and hostages, charged over her, she tried the same, they caught her in middle some, one stopped her left hook as the other punched her in her gut, eyes wide open, she spitting blood, went flying outside the amongst the crowd and patrol, someone stopped her midair and comfortably handed her to the patrols, they just looked at the man, "What fools? Haven't seen a real Saiyan?", it was Vegeta and the gang. "you guys, I told you guys to wait!" she regained her consciousness, "Yeah whatever", Vegeta said going towards the bank, "So which one of you did that?", the thieves in shock looked at him, "You!! What are you doing here?!", they said in sync to him, "What do you mean?", Vegeta was confused, they took their masks off and it was Caulifla and Kale, "Idiots, is this what you do?", Vegeta got angry, "Yeah, irony, we are the bad guys, good twist right? That doesn't ends the fight…we are getting out of here", they charged towards Vegeta, in anger he took the red Saiyan form, they had their fists up and aiming towards him, rolled easily handling them he turned them upside down and slammed them to the ground.

The dust piled up the surface, everyone took a step back as the attack created a medium crater on the ground, they got up, transformed this time, Kale became the green and Caulifla the super Saiyan 2 form, they both charged at him again, this time being able to drag Vegeta towards the outskirts of the city, "Yahhhh", they both said, though it was not enough for them to stop Vegeta, he quickly regained his balance and the fight got severe the flashes and roars above the sky were giving out the signs of a good battle, though together, they were not enough and they were getting exhausted, Vegeta took the chance, slammed Caulifla to the ground with a punch, Kale in shock looked at Vegeta, she knew she was next, "You…you Idiot….they will come if we don't leave…", Caulifla said barely being able to stand up, Nion arrived there on her bike, "Who? Who will come?", a large ship hovered over them as Goten, Trunks and Jaco arrived there too, "You have been surrounded criminals give up or this could get messy", Goten looked at Nion, "that's the royal patrol, the kingsgaurd, this has gone worse", the ship came down and a group of people came out with big weird handcuffs, they wore the same attire as Nion but golden in color, so much golden that it shone in midst of dust, Vegeta took his stance so as Trunks and Goten, they came out, one of the soldier said, "You will be taken into higher custody and shown before his majesty!", Vegeta stopped, "Whom?", he asked as Trunks and Goten stopped too, "His majesty, our king, king Sadala"

They completely stopped and raised their hands up, Jaco understood Vegeta and did the same, Kale and Caulifla also surrendered looking at Vegeta, they were too exhausted to fight them, "Are you the one who brought them in?", they asked to Nion, With a proud smile she said, "Yes sir! It was me!".

"Okay, you are under arrest too!".

"Wait what?! No, no there must've been some mistake here sir".

The handcuffs locked her too.

"Oh man, there goes my carrier in Patrol, guess I have to go back on farming again", she made a sad face looking at Vegeta, "Why the fuck is he so happy?!".

Vegeta in the ship, looking down as it started, they were all together in it, Trunks, Goten, Jaco, Kale, Caulifla and Nion, "Tell me, does your king fights?", Vegeta looked at the royal patrol and said while they looked at him in shock, he smirked and closed his eyes, "He will".
