Just Your Average Saiyan Warrior

[March] 12th

Age: 732

Toto POV

The older Saiyan was having quite a time watching over the children. While many of the young were simply enjoying their time amongst their kin, muttering, playing, and sometimes sparring, there were a few rather exemplary children who made the monotony of being a guardian extremely interesting. From his perch atop the gorge he could pay attention to most of the kids, he spied three of the four kids that made his job more interesting before pulling out the Scouter he was given by the village chief.

The oldest of the children was a brat named Pota, who was quite the problem child. Toto's gaze scanned the Gorge until he spotted a rather large child surrounded by a group of kids much younger than him, his size was impressive given that he hadn't yet hit his growth spurt despite being around the same size as the smaller adults. The elder Saiyan placed Scouter on his face and fumbled with the buttons for a few seconds, he swore they kept making these damn things more complex for no damn reason!

After another minute of flicking through the settings on the scouters, he checks the kids' power level.

His eyebrows raise slightly "It's jumped again, up to 500 at his age is quite impressive. Especially for a low-class Saiyan." Pota is rather large and honestly disturbingly muscular for his age, his hair was a dense ball that covered the youth's eyes. His clothes seem to be made from a hive-lizard commander's hide, an impressive feat considering that they were a more potent version of the warrior caste lizards.

The boy has set himself up as the boss of a group of delinquents, and they've been quite the bullies to the rest of the kids who inhabit the gorge. Honestly watching the small gang's antics was incredibly amusing for the old Saiyan, not to mention how much they assisted his secondary job. Pota and his gang are quite the problem children as they often get into fights, these fights allow the kids to grow stronger and stronger due to the Saiyan blood rushing through them.

Toto nods once before moving on to the next interesting kid.

"Cueco... she's pretty weird for a Saiyan, especially since she's the chief's kid." With a tap, he checks the Scouter, "20, 600, 30, 200, 60, it keeps fluctuating. I swear, everything about her is fickle as the moon, it'll be an interesting night when she finally becomes an Oozaru." Cueco was sitting alone, very close to the top of the gorge, looking down on her fellow youths. She was a thin child with hair that covered her head like a mop, unlike most Saiyans her hair wasn't dense, however. It was stringy and thin and it tended to cling to the front of her face in a curtain-like fashion, giving her a slightly unhinged look that tended to freak out most of her peers.

Her unhinged appearance wasn't helped by the way she looked at people as she'd just stare at you with this horrific piercing gaze. She'd just stare and stare as though she were judging you, and when she finally moved her gaze you felt as though you were found wanting. It was pretty entertaining to see her start fights by simply looking at some of the kids but she often goes a bit too far while fighting. If he wasn't watching over all these brats one of them might've died by now.

With a grimace he notices several warrior Caste lizards starting to come out of their hiding spots, "And then there's the problem child..." He glances towards the small figure currently falling deeper into the gorge only for the older Saiyans eyes to widen in surprise as the figure sends out a Ki blast to use as a booster towards one of the Warrior Lizards. "Impressive application of a simple Ki blast, even more so when you consider his age..." Brussels child begins to engage in a brief scuffle with a single Warrior before getting caught and launched, eliciting a slight wince from the elder Saiyan.

"He's been messing with the local Lizard hive for a good while now. That brats' interesting to watch, but if he gets in over his head he might just end up dying." The thought of having to deal with an annoyed Brussel sends a shiver down the old man's spine, not to mention the kid seemed to listen to his stories.

After a couple more minutes of mulling it over, all while watching the younger Saiyan get surrounded by Warrior Lizards, Toto nodded to himself after coming to a decision.

Coli POV

The situation was breaking down slowly but surely. I leaped up from the snapping jaws of a Warrior and attempted to fire a second beam downwards. I was far too hasty in forming the blast however and it lacked enough power to do anything more than lightly char the Lizard's back, and to make things worse, the recoil of the blast kept me in the air long enough for a second lizard to leap from it's hiding place and sink it's teeth into my left arm. The pain barely registered to me as I felt my energy reinforce my body and enhance my muscles, I forced some power into the shape of a ball around my right hand and swung a punch into the neck of my assailant. The ball of energy exploded causing the Lizard to release me from the pain and I seized my chance.

My eyes snap towards a nearby ledge and after a split second of focus, I use the Lizard as a platform and quickly tuck into a roll as I land. Using four blasts in quick succession has drained me, but I feel like I've taken a shot of pure caffeine as my Saiyan biology continues to prepare me for the current fight. I quickly check my surroundings, two lizards on my left that should be here almost immediately, three lizards from Belo-

I hear a hiss as a lizard drops down from its ledge, cutting my thoughts short. It luckily misses me and I stumble back before rushing forward and while panicking I try to chop at the neck of the lizard in an attempt of crushing something within it. To my increasing dismay not only is the skin extremely tough, but the muscles on these lizards make injuring them a difficult task for someone at my level of strength. I can feel the panic set in as the pressure of this situation threatens to crush me until I feel that now familiar rush of frustration at myself, frustration at my lack of action. My mind isn't clear but it is filled with a kind of wrathful resolve, a surprisingly brutal idea enters my mind and I don't hesitate to enact it.

I quickly check on the incoming lizards, the leftmost ones have set foot on the platform I'm on I don't have time to waste. I move my middle and index fingers toward the creature's eyes and begin to press into them without a second thought. I feel a sensation similar to popping a small water balloon or crushing two very watery grape and I know step one of my task is done. I tap into my Ki and attempt to use a finger blast, unfortunately, my control slips and it turns into a full-on explosive blast destroying the skull of my lizard victim.

I frowned, this wasn't ideal but it'd have to do. I quickly grip one of the bigger teeth and rip it out of whatever remains of the creature's teeth, luckily only the top row of the teeth is unusable. The tooth I had grabbed must've been this species equivalent to incisors as It was long and wasn't very curved, it was razor sharp however, and seemed to be made for cutting flesh. Part two of my plan was complete, my eyes flicked to the dead lizard's claws and I swung the tooth like it were a knife and attempted to sever the dead lizard's claw.

Its claws were far longer than its teeth and seemed to be perfect to use as a makeshift knife, I didn't have time to fully think it through as I just acted. The tooth was good enough to break skin and I ripped my favored claw off of the dead lizard's foot before spinning around to see the two warriors leap towards me. My body moves before I can think too much, I charge forward to meet them swinging my makeshift knife claw at one of the lizard's skulls. With a sickening CRUNCH the weapon breaks through its skull, more from my strength than the claw's power.

The second lizard doesn't even recognize its comrades' death as it begins its assault, this time I don't move fast enough and I feel its claws rip through my chest. I try to pierce it with the claw weapon but I notice that it simply lacks the strength to pierce its flesh. "Five blasts, huh? My record before this was... two in a row I think?" The creature slashes again, I feel power rapidly drain from my body as I try to futilely parry attack after attack. "Not to mention I've been using Ki to enhance me on a more general level. Fuck, I thought I could handle this."

More and more lizards begin to swarm and strike at me as I feel my world go black.
