"Talking"

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

Last Chapter: "You even weakened each other, just for me? I'm truly touched!" Kolra shouted, aiming an open palm at the planet below them. A blast of Ki whipped toward Gray faster than he could react, but he wasn't the target.

[Party member: Ken has died!]

We are so fucked.

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

Why do I hear boss music?

Gray's breathing was heavy, and he could still hear his heart pounding in his ears. He glanced down at the large crater where Ken's body had once been. He gritted his teeth as he glared at Kolra.

I only met Ken a few days ago, but he was a good guy—a friend. I'll kill this bastard for you Ken, no matter what.

That'd be a lot easier said than done. Even if he used up the last of his available points he'd probably still stand no chance. Retreating, hiding in the tunnels for a few days, and killing more dwarves would be the best plan. However, Gray had no intention of doing that.

Ba-dump. Ba-dump. Ba-dump.

His heartbeat was pounding in his ears, his blood rushing throughout his body, adrenaline coursing through his veins. Most importantly, pure rage was growing in his gut. His Saiyan pride wouldn't allow him to back down.

This feeling... I haven't felt it since the first night in this world. The night Dareth went after Asia. Anger at Kolra... pride demanding that I avenge Ken... I can't run away.

"Tamari," Gray shouted through gritted teeth, "Take Asia. Go back down into the tunnels."

"You can't be serious, Gray! There's no way-" Tamari started through panted breaths, but was cut off.

"He's an A-Class Saiyan. I know you want to fight, but Asia will die if she stays here. You're much faster than she is. Take her and go." He said. He wanted both of them to leave so they'd be safe, but he couldn't just say that and stomp all over Tamari's pride.

"How valiant, young warrior! Trying to protect your friends! Truly touching. I'll let them go since I'm so moved!" Kolra shouted down to Gray, a smile on his face.

Tamari looked indecisive for a moment, then glared at Kolra and sighed, "Fine. Don't get yourself killed, alright?"

"I don't plan on it."

I don't plan on dying. In fact, I don't have a plan at all, but I can't retreat after he just killed Ken.

"You're not going to tell me to run? Should I be offended?" Celia's said from behind him.

"You're only useful because you're smart, right? Do something smart to help me out here, or we're all dead." He said simply, floating towards the two near-dead C-Class Saiyans who were arguing with Aikon.

"You really think I'd team up with a privileged B-Class asshole like you?!" Arlic said loudly to Aikon, who was stretching his right arm while gripping his shoulder with his other hand.

"At least one of you meatheads has figured it out already. As much as I'd rather fight him alone, I'd rather not commit suicide. We need to work together." Gray said, glad that Kolra seemed content to let them talk instead of just blitzing them.
