"Talking"

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WhatthefuckWhatthefuckWhatthefuckWhatthefuckWhatthefuckWhatthefuckWhatthefuck

Gray tried to keep his face stoic as he flew behind the large purple alien, following him to who knows where. He looked exactly as he did in the show, with large bulging purple muscles, a shriveled head, and two horns sticking out from the top of his head. 

WhatthefuckWhatthefuck- y'know, Ginyu is really ugly. Anyways, WhatthefuckWhatthefuck

Ginyu was also humming happily ahead of him, which only helped to make Gray even more nervous.

What could Frieza possibly want from me? And why the fuck did he send GINYU to come get me? Even if it was Dodoria or Zarbon I'd be freaking out, but GINYU? His strongest soldier? What the fuck?

Gray glanced over at Ginyu, his eyes scanning over the very little information available to him.

[Eccentric] Ginyu:

[Captain of the Ginyu Force]

Age: [31] [58]

PL: ?

HP: ?

TKI: ?

Reputation: 0/100 (Neutral)

[Eccentric] Modifier - Individuals with this modifier will be naturally eccentric. 

Two ages? The fuck? Nothing makes sense anymore.

However, Gray had something much more important on his mind than Ginyu's double ages as a pop-up appeared before him.

[Quest Alert]

Survive the Ginyu Force.

Rewards:

+50 Attribute points (10x multiplier from [Nightmare Mode])

+1,000 Coins

+1,000 XP (10x multiplier from [Nightmare Mode])

Bonus Rewards:

You will receive bonus rewards depending on how unimpressed [Captain Ginyu] is.

You will receive bonus rewards depending on the state of your body.

Failure:

Death, or worse.

I'm just glad the quest doesn't mention Frieza. Ginyu must have been lying about Frieza wanting to see me, right? Surely. I'm not coping, you're coping.

Gray took a deep breath to calm down.

That bit about the 'state of my body' is concerning. The Ginyu force isn't just going to beat my ass, are they?

Gray continued to fly behind the much larger alien as they approached a spaceship, which looked significantly larger than the tiny Saiyan pod he'd used to get to Vargon. It was circular but was larger in width than in height, looking closer to Frieza's giant ship than a Saiyan pod. It looked like it could fit 15-20 people at most from the outside. 

A spaceship? Is he really bringing me to see Frieza?

Gray's worries were partially alleviated as Ginyu paused in front of the ship, landing on the ground and hollering out toward it, "Hey, get out here!"

A different worry was ignited as the spaceship door opened and two figures walked down the ramp. Gray landed next to Ginyu to get a good look at them. 

Oh, hey, that's the Ginyu force. Here for little ole F-Class me? Well, guess I'm D-Class now, but that doesn't make it any better.

The first was a tall blue alien whose lean upper body was much larger than his lower body despite his strongest attribute. He was wearing the standard Saiyan armor, which all of Frieza's forces wore.

[Speedster] Burter:

[Fastest in the UniverseTM]

Age: [28]

PL: ?

HP: ?

TKI: ?

Reputation: 0/100 (Neutral)

[Speedster] Modifier - Individuals with this modifier will be naturally fast and will gain AGI 500% faster.

This is like the [Quick] modifier on steroids.

There was a slightly taller, but much bigger man walking behind him. He looked very human-like and could've passed as a Mr. Olympia competitor if he lived on Earth. He had a mop of red hair on the top of his oval head.

[Physical] Racoome:

[Ginyu Force Squad Member]

Age: [26]

PL: ?

HP: ?

TKI: ?

Reputation: 0/100 (Neutral)

[Physical] Modifier - Individuals with this modifier will be naturally physical and lean towards physical activities. They will gain STR and END 100% faster.

"Ehhh? Is this little kid the one I'll be playing with?" Racoome hollered dumbly, a big grin on his face as he stepped off the ramp, striding only a few feet away from Gray. 

I sure hope not.

"No," Ginyu started.

Thanks, Ginyu.

"You'd destroy the body completely. Even if he dies, the body needs to be intact." Ginyu 

Oh. That's not what I wanted to hear.

"Ah, I thought you were bringing me to talk to Fre- Lord Frieza," Gray spoke up, not liking the conversation's direction.

"Eh? Seriously? You stupid or somethin'?" Racoome laughed a little too loudly for Gray's liking, "Lord Frieza? Talk to a little weak Saiyan? BWAHAHAHAHHA!"

Ok, fuck you, and fuck that obnoxious laugh. I'm totally killing you someday.

"Lord Frieza? Well, compared to your pathetic power level, I might as well be Lord Frieza! HEHEHEHEHEHE!" A much smaller figure walked down the ramp, his nasally laugh managing to be even more annoying than Racoome's. His body was completely green, and he was small and round, with two eyes in the middle of his face along with two larger eyes on the side of his head.

[Magical] Guldo:

[Ginyu Force Squad Pet]

Age: [21]

PL: ?

HP: ?

TKI: ?

Reputation: -5/100 (Negatively Viewed)

[Magical] Modifier - Individuals with this modifier will be naturally inclined to obtain magical abilities. They will have MP available from birth.

MP? That must be magic!

Gray stared back at the green frog-like alien as he walked down the ramp.

More importantly, I can't see his power level. This might be the most embarrassing moment of my life. I really am still a weakling if I can't even see fucking GULDO's power level. Fuck man. Fuck this game. Fuck nightmare mode. This shit sucks.

"This is the one you're considering, Captain? He's so weak!" Guldo shouted, looking at Gray with a look of disgust, "Weak! Weak! Weak! And ugly! I already have to see Racoome's ugly face on the daily, am I actually going to have to see his too?"

"Who the fuck are you calling ugly, frog-boy?" Gray couldn't help the words slip out as he was called ugly by Guldo of all people.

"Yeah! Who are you calling ugly, pipsquek?" Racoome backed Gray up, glaring at Guldo.

No, don't back me up here Racoome, you actually are ugly.

"Hmm," Ginyu stepped forward and leaned down, putting his face inches away from Gray's as his eyes scanned Gray's body, "He's not that ugly, right? So it should be fine!"

'Not that ugly?' Have any of you ever looked in a mirror? I'm pretty good-looking, unlike you alien bastards.

"Wait, pause for a second. What's going on here? What am I being considered for?" Gray asked, confused about the change in conversation.

I thought they were just gonna beat my ass, but is Ginyu considering me to be a new Ginyu force member? I mean, it could be fun for a bit before I go against Frieza, and I'd probably get a lot stronger, but why me? How does Ginyu even know about me?

"Hah! Don't worry about it, kid. All you need to know for now is that he's your opponent! Try not to die!" Ginyu said, pointing towards Guldo. 

Gray didn't even have a moment to think, as suddenly Guldo was standing a foot away from him, his fist slamming into Gray's stomach. Gray flew backward from the force, stabilizing himself roughly twenty feet back. He glanced down at his hand, which felt sore from the impact.

-1,000HP! (90,450/91,450)

Damn, I didn't even see him move. I barely got my hand up in time. He must've used his time-freeze magic, Gray thought as he recalled Guldo's ability from the show.

"Come on, Saiyan! Don't make us handsome guys look bad!" Racoome shouted to Gray, apparently feeling some camaraderie after Guldo's insults. 

Gray tensed his body as his eyes stayed locked on Guldo, looking for any hints that he was going to move again. Instead, Guldo started strolling towards Gray, giving him a moment to think. Gray quickly brought up his stats page.

I haven't even looked at all the rewards I've gotten, and I'm already going to have to use some points just to survive fucking GULDO. Good thing I have a shit ton now after completing the Vargon quest and leveling up twice.

Gray's eyes strayed to his available points before he paused as he heard Guldo speak up, "You blocked that? Is this why you want his body, Captain? His reactions are quick!"

My… body?

"Just continue to fight, Guldo!" Ginyu laughed, not seeming concerned in the slightest about Guldo exposing his intentions.

Oh, fuck. He doesn't want me to join the Ginyu force. He wants to steal my fucking body.

Gray tensed his body again as his mind raced.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. It makes sense now. The reward depending on the state of my body and how unimpressed Ginyu is. I don't know why, but this fight is a test to see if he'll take my body or not. He's not even worried about me finding out either, cuz I wouldn't even know about his ability if it wasn't for my past life!

Gray grunted as a fist slammed into his stomach again, this time making contact. Spit flew from his mouth as Guldo filled his vision for a split second before his body was flung backward. Gray dug his feet into the ground to stop the momentum, allowing him to stay standing as his eyes locked back onto Guldo.

-2,500HP! (87,950/91,450)

That time freeze will be an issue, but his punches don't hurt much. A direct hit from Kolra hurt more. Still, why does Ginyu even want my- Fuck, whatever, focus on the fight for now. 

Gray clenched his fist as he put his body into the boxing stance he'd taken from Kolra, his eyes sticking on Guldo. Then he blinked, relaxing his body as he realized something.

Wait… or don't focus on this fight? I need to disappoint Ginyu so he doesn't take my body, so I shouldn't fight seriously. But, also, I don't want to die.

Gray grimaced as Guldo walked toward Gray again, moving leisurely. 

"You scared, Saiyan?" Guldo mocked him, sticking out his tongue childishly.

I need to do good enough to not die, but bad enough that Ginyu won't think my body is worth trading his current one for. 

Gray utilized [Prediction] as he saw Guldo abruptly clench his fist, and a second later Guldo was inches away from him. Gray pulled his hand upward as he saw the spot Guldo was aiming for, but stopped his hand short so that he only partially blocked the punch, allowing for part of Guldo's fist to slam into his face and send him tumbling to the ground. 

-1,500HP! (86,450/91,450)

Gray grunted as he quickly placed his hands under his body, pushing himself back up onto his feet. As he regained his footing he saw Guldo shoot towards him, this time moving without his time freeze magic. 

He's not particularly fast, but he's not slow either.

Gray used [Prediction] to once again see where Guldo was aiming his uppercut, tilting his head back so that the punch barely connected. Gray stumbled backward, then stabilized himself and launched himself towards Guldo.

-500HP! (85,950/91,450)

Seriously?

Gray became even more embarrassed about having to lose so badly to Guldo as he saw the frog-like man's reaction to his attack, which was more like a non-reaction. Guldo audibly screamed in panic at Gray's sudden movement and barely leaned backward in an attempt to dodge the punch.

An attempt that should've failed miserably, but Gray purposefully guided his attack upward so that he'd barely miss Guldo's face, leaving himself open as his fist flew over Guldo's head.

This guy really is useless without that time magic, huh? Does that affect his power level somehow? There's no way I shouldn't be able to see his stats if he's this weak!

Guldo's body continued to lean back until he was fully bent backward, his hands and feet both on the ground and his stomach in the air. His feet shot upwards as his hands pushed off the ground, leading to a flying two-footed kick into Gray's chest, whose entire body was exposed as he leaned over Guldo. Gray flexed his pectorals as he saw the kick coming and leaned backward slightly to reduce the damage, but was still launched upward into the air from the kick. 

-10,000HP! (75,950/91,450)

Fuck that hurt.

Gray grunted as he slid backward, digging his heels into the sandy terrain around them. He was starting to understand why he couldn't see Guldo's power level.

He's not weak, he's just not very talented at fighting. Similar to how I was against Kolra. The difference is this cheat-ass magic of his. Without that, he definitely wouldn't have survived for so long. I could probably win without using any points, but I don't want to win here.

Gray slashed his hand upward to knock away a rather straightforward ki blast from Guldo, sending it careening into the atmosphere. The ki blast was followed by a flurry of similar blasts, which Gray found himself struggling to keep up with as he repeatedly blocked and deflected ball after ball of ki. Gray swiftly launched himself to the side as his hands couldn't keep up with the speed at which Guldo was sending the blasts, but hunched over again as Guldo's fist suddenly appeared in his side. 

-2,500HP! (73,450/91,450)

Guldo followed up with a swift punch to the side of Gray's face, and Gray was sent flying towards the ground, having to place his hands on the ground and do a flip to prevent himself from being completely knocked down. 

-2,500HP! (70,950/91,450)

Gray huffed as he tried to catch his breath, not getting the chance to as Guldo seemingly teleported directly in front of him again, a flurry of fists flying at Gray. Gray swiftly dodged the army of punches, but the difference in stats was starting to show as the edges of Guldo's fists started clipping him. 

-100HP! (70,850/91,450)

-100HP! (70,750/91,450)

-100HP! (70,650/91,450)

-100HP! (70,550/91,450)

-100HP! (70,450/91,450)

-100HP! (70,350/91,450)

-100HP! (70,250/91,450)

-100HP! (70,150/91,450)

-100HP! (70,050/91,450)

-100HP! (69,950/91,450)

Gray abruptly channeled a ball of ki into his hand, having to take a fist to the chest as he fired a blast into the floor. 

-2,500HP! (67,450/91,450)

A cloud of smoke exploded around them, and Gray used the opportunity to shoot backward and create some space. 

He wasn't free yet, as his retreat was stopped by a leg slamming into his back as Guldo appeared behind him. Gray was unprepared, and the kick sent his body slamming directly into the dusty ground face-first, his body bouncing back upwards from the impact.

-15,000HP! (52,450/91,450)

Fuck.

Gray scrambled to get back up, launching himself forward and away from Guldo as he focused purely on creating distance. He got a moment of breathing room as Guldo took the chance to mock him. 

"You must be getting too old, Captain Ginyu, if you think someone like this is worthy! He's only good as a punching bag! HEHEHEHE!" Guldo hollered.

That annoying ass laugh.

Gray grimaced as he felt the blood pumping through him, his adrenaline starting to kick in. 

Calm down. Don't let him get in your head. I don't need to win this fight. Don't give Ginyu a show.

Gray huffed as his eyes stayed locked on Guldo, looking for any that the frog was about to use his magic.

I got cocky because he's fucking GULDO, but he's still a Ginyu force member. I thought I could let him rough me up a bit to look weak, but he really was beating my ass there for a second. Even if his actual fighting ability isn't great, I can't do anything about that time-freeze ability. He just appears out of nowhere.

"So weak! So weak! Scaredy cat little Saiyan! HEHEHEHE!" Guldo giggled, apparently having the time of his life as he bounced on his heels, walking towards Gray.

Fuck you. I'm getting at least one good punch in.

Gray glared at Guldo as his Saiyan nature flared up from Guldo's mocking. Gray launched himself forward at full speed, his fist becoming covered in ki as he aimed his punch directly at Guldo's nose. His fist hit the air as Guldo's entire body disappeared in the blink of an eye, and Gray felt like his back was snapped in half as a leg slammed into his spine from above. 

-10,000HP! (42,450/91,450)

Gray wasn't given a moment to recover as he pushed his body up, coming face to face with a ball of ki as he raised his head. 

-15,550HP! (26,900/91,450)

Gray's body slumped on the ground momentarily as the full power of a ki blast washed over him, feeling as if his entire body was on fire.

"Fuck…" Gray groaned as struggled to stand, his entire body covered in black burns from the ki explosion.

I'm gonna have to start dumping points into AGI and END just to survive. 

Gray blinked and suddenly there was a ball of ki inches from his face, the short green man grinning evilly. Gray hastily pulled his arms upward and partially blocked the blast, only tanking some of the impact.

-2,500HP! (24,400/91,450)

Gray launched himself backward again, his breaths becoming ragged from the repeated attacks. 

Fuck. Will I even have time to allocate the points when this little fucker can just pretty much teleport?

Gray was saved from having to hastily allocate his points as Ginyu's voice rang out into the flatlands, "That's enough! Don't kill him, Guldo!"

"Eh? Why not? He's so weak! Weak! Weak! Weak!" Guldo said, giggling to himself once again as he suddenly appeared inches away from Gray, his hand raised with another ki blast. A purple hand suddenly gripped Guldo's wrist, stopping his hand from moving as the ki ball was inches from Gray's face. 

"I said stop, moron!" Ginyu grunted as he slammed a fist into the top of Guldo's head, sending him flat into the ground, "I was told wrong, this kid's just an above-average Saiyan. I'm not going to start something with the Saiyan King just because you're having too much fun! There's nothing to gain from this anymore." 

Told wrong? Who was telling Ginyu about me?

Gray continued to breathe raggedly as he clutched his stomach, his body sore and injured from the beating. He looked up at Ginyu to ask him but stopped himself. 

Don't push it. I'm alive, and I'm still in my body. This is a good outcome. 

Ginyu grabbed Guido's limp body off the ground, reminding Gray of the huge difference in their power.

Guldo was just beating my ass, and he one-shot him.

"Sorry for the trouble, kid. Go back to whatever you were doing." Ginyu said as he carried Guldo away, "Racoome! Put Guldo in a healing pod! I need him awake by tomorrow for the mission!"

"Yes, Captain Ginyu! See you later, my younger fellow handsome man! If you ever need help, feel free to ask me!" Racoome shouted as Ginyu tossed Guldo's body to him, giving Gray a thumbs up as he started walking back up the ship's ramp. 

"Ah, yeah, I'll let you know…" Gray trailed off.

You just watched me get my ass beat, and even if you didn't, I still wouldn't ask you of all people for help. 

Gray watched as Ginyu followed Racoome into the ship, leaving just Gray and Burter in the sandy flatlands. Burter was staring at Gray with narrowed eyes from where he stood in front of the spaceship, roughly 25 feet from Gray.

"What?" Gray asked as the speedster continued staring at him. A split second later he was forced to throw his body to the side desperately as Burter's fist ripped through the air next to him, moving faster than Gray's eyes could follow. Gray tensed as he readied himself for another fight, his eyes glancing at his available points.

"The fuck do you want?" Gray growled as Burter just stared at him again, "You like beating down on injured opponents? I won't go down easy, y'know!"

Burter continued to stare at him with narrowed eyes, then sighed and turned around, "Never mind. None of my business anyways."

"Huh?" Gray asked dumbly as the blue alien walked toward the spaceship, ignoring him. Gray waited until he was fully inside the ship, the ramp rising upwards and closing behind him, to relax. He sighed as he staggered over to a nearby rock, walking around it and sitting down with his back leaning against it. He glanced around to ensure he wasn't in view of the spaceship anymore before he relaxed completely, deflating as he leaned back against the rock.

A skill token? For this quick of a quest?

Gray sighed as he stared at the rewards, a grin forming on his face.

Damn, this day has been tiring. Good thing I slept on the trip back. I'll just sit here for a moment before heading back to let Tamari and Asia know what's going on.

Gray leaned back, his body aching as he looked up at the sunny sky, the shadow of the massive rock blocking out the sun for him. Gray slid to the side, laying down flat on his back as he let his body rest from the numerous blows he'd taken from Guldo.

I didn't get a Zenkai Boost from that - I guess because I wasn't on the verge of death yet. I wish I knew the HP parameters for that skill.

Gray breathed out, blinking away the sun as he rolled over, staring at the rock.

Who told Ginyu about me? Whoever it was, they must've hyped me up big time. In the show, he only went after Goku's body because he was way stronger. I'm like a bug compared to Ginyu right now, so I can't imagine why he'd want my body.

Gray felt his eyelids drag down, his exhausted body feeling like it weighed a thousand pounds.

I can't believe Guldo just kicked my ass. I gotta lock in. I need to get way stronger on this trip to Earth.

Contrary to Gray's thoughts, he did the opposite at that moment.

Fuck I'm sore. I'll lay here for just 5 more minutes. Just 5 minutes.

Gray closed his eyes, and when he opened them again the sky looked significantly darker.

Did I fall asleep? I'm more exhausted than I thought. I should take it easy up until the Earth mission.

Gray stared upwards at the grey sky, showing him that the afternoon sky had transitioned into dusk. He blinked again as two large black balls filled his vision.

Wow, I must really be tired if I'm getting spots in my eyes.

He blinked again, waving his hand above him as he tried to get the spots out of his eyes. However, he froze as his hand physically felt one of the spots, squishing into it. He paused, wrapping his hand around it and squeezing the soft object again.

Is this…

"Tits?" Gray asked dumbly. He turned his face upward, looking up at a red face staring down at him. A black-haired woman in Saiyan under armor was on her knees behind him, leaning over him. Her hair was long, longer then most Saiyan women's hair, and she had a cute angular face with big eyes. Her face was beet red as Gray accidentally groped her, but her eyes were still looking down at him with concern.

What the fuck! I didn't even notice her!

"PERVERT!" 

Gray's instincts screamed for him to move, and he hastily rolled to the side as a foot slammed down where his head was. Unfortunately, he rolled into the rock to his side and found himself trapped between the two figures. He looked upwards at the other woman, who had just tried to break his face with her foot.

The red-haired woman was wearing Saiyan armor, and glaring down at him. She looked relatively tall and had big breasts that were comparable to the woman kneeling next to him. Her long red hair covered one of her eyes, and her face was round, creating an interesting image between her cute face and big breasts. 

"Um… I don't know what to say here…" Gray said as he stared up at the towering woman, trapped in a corner with the rock behind him, Ezra on one side, and Yor kneeling on the other.

This day just never ends, huh?
