He stares at the strange creature before him and walks around with a curious but cautious tilt in his tail as he frowns and tries to figure out if this is a new danger or a new friend. Power pole out, he’s ready for anything.

“What are you?”

He could remember hearing some loud noise and feeling an earthquake in the forest earlier, but he’s not so sure this is related. He doesn’t see many people in this area of the world, not since his grandpa died, but this new arrival doesn’t look anything like the animals he’s encountered in the forest. Could it be a girl? His grandpa had told him about those.

whoa she's hot, was caulifla first thought with meeting android 18. she was one of those fighters during the tournament, caulifla remembered. none of em were strong enough to take her on, the only one worth her time during then was goku himself. but now here she was, in universe 7, now given a chance to meet those of the so-called "strongest universe".

caulifla had to clear her throat, embarassed by her first thought of the android, mind racing to come up with something else to say.

"hey if you're an android, how come you don't have rockets out of your arms or guns?! explain that!"

She had been working with this guy, only for a few days now since she was hired. Truth be told this place always screamed oddball whenever her and Sakura or Hinata walk by. Still, a help wanted sign was a help wanted sign.

❝ Never  thought  I’d  meet  a  saiyan  who  appears  to  have  no  lust  for  battle  or  ever  surmounting  strength.  But  then  you’re  not  a  full  blooded  monkey  are  you ?  You  must  have  inherited  more  earthling.  I’m  not  sure  whether  or  not  I’d  consider  that  a  blessing. ❞

On  one  hand  Saiyans  were,  in  Frieza’s  warped  &  callous      opinion,  a  barbarian  race  that  their  parent  had  to  tame  & even  then  they  still  retained  their  more  bestial  instincts.  Like  a  stubborn  dog  that  was  never  fully  house  broken.  On  the  other  hand  earthlings  were…   Disappointing  to  say  the  least.  How  they  ever  survived  as  a  species  for  this  long  was  a  mystery.  The  truth  had  to  be  that  their  power levels  were  so  unremarkable   no  one  had  ever  noticed  this  “Earth”  had  existed.

Nevertheless,  they  remembered  the  smell  of  that  disgusting  planet  where  they  would  first  meet  King  Vegeta  &  his  “subjects”.  They  weren’t  sure  they  had  ever  been  happier  to  depart  a  planet  than  on  that  day,  to  cleanse  that  particular  stench  from  their  delicate  nostrils  in  the  sterile  of  space.

To  be  fair,  Earth  was  considerably  nicer.  The  Tyrant  could  glance  around  at  this  planet  &  despite  its  utterly  underwhelming  inhabitantace,  feel  a  sense  of  accomplishment  in  the  fact  that  they  had  prevented  Sayians  from  overrunning  the  place  with  their  stink  in  leaving  so  few  alive.  Two  measly  sayians  would  have  no  hope  of  populating  this  place,  no  matter  how  often  they  might  breed.  Yes,  every  cloud  came  with  a  silver  lining  as  they  say.

Gohan stared at the monster that had twisted and turned so much of his childhood into what it had been. This one had been the reason for the Saiyan's coming to Earth, for all of the death that ensued, and what he was forced to endure, thereafter. Without this tyrant, perhaps nothing that transpired would have happened, but those were thoughts he would rather not entertain. There was only the here and now of this situation, and that was to assess whatever it was that this creature wanted.

Could it be that Earth was in trouble, again? Most likely. Gohan wasn't sure if he was prepared to face this, but as were the usual there would be no other choice. So, he mentally prepared himself for the worst situation to play out, and braced for anything.

His gaze was hardened, as he needed to be solely focused on the enemy before him. It had been quite a while since he's last seen the likes of the tyrant, and every time felt just as stressful as the last. The half-Saiyan didn't really feel the need to respond to his comments, and hoped that his threat was clear enough in his own words.

      "Frieza... You should have just stayed away from here."
