Super Dragon Ball: Redux Kaizen

Arc 2: C2

(Continuing From Last Chapter: Planet Krakolon, Central Island's Shore. . .)

The main island at the center of the Ryugi Triangle, or rather each island in of itself, had a designated name. Center of it all was the island of Ura, then Nyuchia, Matia, Oryomai, Myia, and last, Osta. These islands were inherently what made up the island country that governs control over the planet. But outside Eastward of the colligation where the Bahakut lived was the primary aim. Zygos Island, the home of the Daharak claimed years ago. From what was detailed after getting the gist of everything from King, Alzai made this mission more understandable why Shikuro was given such a long time frame.

The island itself, despite having a lack of technology compared to the islands of the Ryugi Triangle, was heavily fortified. Especially for aerial assaults, given that the Bahakut uses Wyverns and has Ethereal Wing uses on top of that. Merely flying in was already ruled out from the beginning in exchange for keeping this covert. If they did, that would just be the same of summoning an entire army and enticing them to start a war right then and there. The Daharak, for all purposes, were already weary of outsiders and those not a part of their race alike. There was little room for error. . .

Hence why they were at the dock where Shikuro had stationed the Capsule Corporation space craft within the waters while talking to Sidhra. Kyuria clearly didn't care for any further chatter, given the fact that everything they needed was already taken care of by their rations and information. So, she opted to wait inside and nap until they arrived at the island. A day was already wasted yesterday to mentally prepare themselves for what was to come, anyway. So 6 days left was already in order and another day will be taken for the sake of sneaking in at night when their guard was down. So in short, Shikuro couldn't really blame her. He really should get a move on..

"As I said, we don't really need anymore back up. The ship can't fit this many people anyways," Shikuro assured once more than he eyed the ship behind him, "This is a infiltration mission from the looks of it anyways. So the more people we have, the more likely we'll get rooted out."

"Aren't you being a little overconfident? You know nothing about the workings of the Daharak or their capabilities. It'd be wise to at least have someone with that knowledge," Sidhra assured.

Shikuro had to scratch his head at that. He surely made a ‌point. As much as the young male Saiyan reluctance to accept aid, it only made him sound as if he were overconfident in his strength. Being on the same planet as the strongest beings in the universe makes everything. Else seem weaker in perspective. But concurrently, that more and more dangerous beings that exist outside of Earth somehow find their way into their lives was also true. Whether they encounter them or they come to them, it was all the same. Frieza, Cell, Buu, that one guy name Beerus at some point. It only escalated as time goes on.

His job, even though he was only doing this as a favor, was at its core to save lives and prevent injustice. So he had to question himself first. Was he strong enough to do things his way without consequences? This planet has no Dragon Balls. And the Dragon Balls on Earth had already been used once after the Cell incident. Meaning, while things on Earth can be fixed with just a year's time, other planets simply don't have that luxury. Death was what it was always meant to be. Permanent. . .

A flash of recollection came to mind again. He already knew what it felt like to see someone "die". In what he believed to be the worst way possible. A slow, painful, and regretful. . .death. He sighed and scratched his head a bit.

"If you put it that way. . .Then you're pretty much right," Shikuro grumble but cleared his throat, "Then how about a compromise. One should suffice. Any volunteers?"

The men accompany Sidhra each gave each other a unsure glance. Shikuro couldn't really blame them. Heading straight into the depths of enemy territory was almost the same as a suicide mission. Whether they can hold their own or not, the sheer numbers they'd potentially would have to deal with was intimidating in of itself. Unlike the Z-Fighters on Earth who are used to one-man-army scenarios from all their previous battles, that can't be said for everyone else. However, one managed to stand out in the crowd. . .
