Dragon Ball: Super and Beyond (OLD VERSION!)

Friends Again

Dawn broke out, indicating that the next day was beginning. Kuzuku got up early and took care of his daily routine wearily. As he got out of the bathroom and made his way into the kitchen, he noticed two people he didn't recognize on his couch. He looked over and remember that he did promise to let Hudo and Zugo stay with him for a while. It was a good thing that school was gonna be out for six days so he had time to train some more. The Saiyan went outside to collect some fire wood as it was pretty cold out. When he got back he saw the sight of Hudo pretty much raiding his fridge.

"About time you woke up." Kuzuku said closing the door behind him.

"Sorry I have the tendency to sleep in a lot." Hudo laughed

"Well you are not alone on that department. So when do you think blue mutt over there is gonna wake up?"

"I don't know. Considering the amount of energy he spent up during your fight , maybe two more days."

"Sigh* Then lets wake him up now and get this over with.". Kuzuku took out a senzu bean and forcefully made the sleeping Astack chew on it. Seconds past when Zugo shot up with completely awaken eyes. He looked around, noticing a house that was completely unfamiliar to him. He then felt a presence looking at him and turned his head to face Kuzuku.

"Hello sleepy dog. Had a nice nap?" Kuzuku teased

"What am I doing here monkey! You better have not tried anything!" Zugo yelled

"Calm down there puppy, I simply took you back with me since you didn't have a place to stay."

"Awww that's nice. Its too bad I didn't ask!" Zugo said sarcastically.

"Zugo no need to be rude, he was only trying to help." Hudo claimed. Zugo turned his head to Hudo in a shock expression. The air suddenly got thicker and uncomfortable. Kuzuku then quickly made up a excuse.

"Well it seems you two need some time alone. I'm going to go train so make sure you don't destroy my house okay. Peace.". With that Kuzuku was instantly out of the door with his training gear. This left the two alone in a awkward silence. Eventually Hudo decided to give in first.

"Zugo ummm...". He was stopped dead in his tracks by Zugo

"Don't Hudo, it not your fault that things ended this way. It my responsibility so you can just leave me alone and go on about your business."

"Its not about that! I just want us to be friends like we used to be back home."

"Hudo....you know that I can't go back to those times. I made my choice the moment I left the planet." Zugo gloomily explained

"But why?" Hudo muttered.

"Because I don't think that I deserve any kind of relationship. Think about it, I was the cause of my dad's death. I was suppose to protect the Etterix from being stolen and guess what happened? I failed miserably. Then after all these years I thought i've gotten stronger, strong enough to make amends for what happened that day but I was completely wrong. I did not simply lose to Kuzuku. I was completely outclassed by him! It frustrates me to the point that I am still incapable of taking back the Etterix on my own!". Zugo was letting out his true feelings. Each and every word seemed to hurt as he exposed his weakness to his former best friend.

"Zugo it is true that you haven't change much over the years. You are still as blind as ever." Hudo said. Zugo looked up with shocked curiosity.

"Listen, I get that you want to do things yourself and that you want make up for what happened but you shouldn't push away the people that you care about. You can rely on us all the way. We don't blame you for what had happened since as Astackians, we are entitled to protecting the Etterix as well am I right?". Zugo thought for a moment and nodded.
