Lauto Saga (The Forgotten)



(Please note that many people are killed in this story, often times in horrifying, or graphic ways. If you can't handle that, then please do not read The Forgotten. Also, the 3rd and 4th sagas deal with heavily mature themes; these will be redacted for posts on this site. However, I can not guarantee that the story will be "whole" without them. In addition, due to the nature of reality, some people swear, and some of my characters do as well. I will censor the words, but be warned, they can still be easily figured out. If you have any questions, please leave a post on my talk page, or the talk page of The Forgotten. Thanks!)

The Lauto Saga is the second saga in the series Dragon Ball Z: The Forgotten. It takes place after the Prince Vegeta Saga and before the Planet Earth Saga. It chronicles the aftermath of Planet Vegeta's destruction, and the survival of the Saiyan Ledas during his crash landing on Planet Cooler 92.

Characters
For a complete list of characters in the Lauto Saga, please visit the list in that section on the Character List (The Forgotten) page.

Theme Song(s)
The themes songs for the Lauto Saga are After The Fall and (upon introduction of Lauto) The Soul That Must Awaken, both produced by Two Steps From Hell.

Overview
After the destruction of planet Vegeta, Ledas crash lands on Planet Cooler 92 and is thought dead. But, it is here where his story truly begins. Alone and broken, both physically, and mentally, Ledas must somehow find a way to get stronger… and defeat the minions of PC92. Even more dangerous, is the power struggle between the outpost’s captain and Cooler’s appointed governor, both of whom have unimaginable power. It is up to Ledas to stop their insanity before it consumes him, and the entire planet.

Complete Dialogue
I apologize for how this will be formatted; when I first wrote this, it was intended only for my use as an aid for when I drew the manga. But I feel it is useful enough to be posted here. Mature subject matter has been partially censored. Graphic subject matter has not. If you disagree, please send me a message. And yes, this will be very long. But I hope all of you can appreciate the (hopefully good) story and writing.

'''NOTE: BOLDED ORANGE TEXT WITHIN CHAPTERS IS DIALOGUE/PLOT THAT HAS BEEN CHANGED, OR EDITTED FROM THE ORIGINAL VERSION. USUALLY, THIS IS BECAUSE IT IS OFFENSIVE MATERIAL, THAT I DON'T EVEN WANT TO POST HERE CENSORED; THIS WILL BE INFREQUENT, AND I HOPE THAT IT DOES NOT DISRUPT THE GOINGS ALONG OF THE STORY.'''

Lyin' And Laughin'








Planet Cooler. 92 Technician 1:  We have some type of object incoming, matching the standard space pod classification. Can anyone confirm?

Planet Cooler. 92 Technician 2: Roger, it’s definitely a pod.

Planet Cooler. 92 Technician 3: Strange, we don’t have any due for return today.

Planet Cooler. 92 Technician 1:  Look, there is now clear visual. The verification number is definitely not one of ours.  I’m pinging the pod for a response. >PRESSES A BUTTON, WAITS; NOTHING HAPPENS>

Planet Cooler. 92 Technician 2: No response…

Planet Cooler. 92 Technician 3: What should we do?

Planet Cooler. 92 Technician 1: I’ll contact the Captain.  Captain Banas, we have an unknown pod approaching base, no responses received…please advise.

Payar:  Say again, soldier? The captain’s out, this is Payar. Go ahead, and I’ll see if I can help.

Planet Cooler. 92 Technician 1: Sir, we have a space pod incoming. It’s not one of ours, so we tried pinging it for response, but got none. We need someone to check it out, when it lands.

Payar: Where’s it headed to?

Planet Cooler. 92 Technician 1: It is projected to land in the southern quadrant. A visible smoke trail should lead you to it.

Payar: Send first platoon to my location. We’ll investigate.

Planet Cooler. 92 Technician 1: Affirmative sir. They are on their way. And, sir…should I inform the governor?

Payar: No, soldier. I will handle this, and tell Guva when I’ve finished with the pod.



Soldier 1:  It hasn’t opened yet.

Soldier 3: Maybe they’re dead?

Soldier 4: Or a new recruit, too scared to come out. 

Payar:  Get back!  There’s a faint reading coming from inside, so whoever it is, they’re not dead.



Soldier 2: Ah, he is dead!

Soldier 1: No, only unconscious.

Payar:  Well, this is interesting. It’s a Saiyan child.

Meloon: I though Frieza killed them all.

Payar: Yes… perhaps, he was fleeing the scene? But that was a long time ago… over a year, I think. Why did he just get here now?

Meloon: Maybe he got lost?

Payar: <CAUGHT UP IN HIS OWN GLORY> Imagine the reward we will get for delivering such a prize to Lord Cooler!

<PAYAR STANDS UP AND SHOOTS AN EVESDROPPING SOLDIER, WHO FALLS OFF THE HILL THEY ARE ON, INTO A CREEK BELOW; PAYAR THEN TURNS TO MELOON>

Payar: <IN A STRICT WHISPER> We go straight to the Captain with this, not Guva. <TURNING BACK TO THE SOLDIERS> Two of you, grab the kid. We’re taking him back to base.

<2 SOLDIERS CARRY LEDAS BACK TO CAMP WITH THE REST OF THE GROUP; LEDAS WAKES UP>

Soldier 1: Uh sir, he‘s waking up.

<LEDAS SENDS OUT A POWERFUL ENERGY WAVE THAT KILLS THE TWO SOLDIERS CARRYING HIM, HE DOES A ROLL TO THE RIGHT, INTO THE FOLIAGE; THE GROUP OF SOLDIERS PURSUE HIM>

Payar: <READING HIS SCOUTER> This one has some fight in him. Look at his power level. I’ve never seen a Saiyan with one so high.

Meloon: <STILL CONFIDENT, NOT WORRIED> He is still much weaker than us.

Aprido: <WITH A FEW OTHER SOLDIERS, THEY RUN AT LEDAS> Come back here you runt!

Payar: You are not to kill him.

Meloon: He he, Payar ya think he could?

<LEDAS BACKS INTO A CORNER, HAVING KILLED SEVERAL MORE SOLDIERS, THE REST HAVE BACKED OFF A BIT, PAYAR AND MELOON MOVE FORWARD, TO HIM>

Payar: <SHOUTING> Give it up, Saiyan! We don’t want to kill you!

Ledas: I am a super elite! You don’t know who you’re dealing with.

Meloon: That don’t mean s**t out here.

Payar: Even the best of you Saiyans are nothing compared to us. We don’t want to kill you…

Meloon: …yet….

Payar: <CLOSES EYES> I am losing patience.

Ledas: No! <LEDAS SHOOTS A POWERFUL ENERGY BLAST AT THE TWO; IT DOES NOTHING>

Meloon: Ha ha ha! That all you got?

<IMPATIENT, PAYAR RUNS AND TRY TO HIT LEDAS, BUT THE SAIYAN DODGES IT; LEDAS THEN MOVES AROUND PAYAR, AND SHOOTS A BURST OF ENERGY AT HIM, BUT IT IS EASILY DEFECTED; PAYAR JUMPS AGAIN, AND THIS TIME HE IS TOO FAST FOR LEDAS, PUNCHING THE SAIYAN CHILD IN THE FACE AND KNOCKINGS HIM OUT; PAYAR PICKS HIM UP AND STARTS CARRYING HIM>

Meloon: <IN A GOOD MOOD> This better be worth it.

Payar: <CALMING DOWN> It could get us off this rock. That’s worth it to me.

<LEDAS WAKES UP FROM A DAZE, HE INSIDE, IN A ROOM WITH PAYAR, WHO IS SITTING ACROSS FROM LEDAS, WITH HIS KNEES UP>

Ledas: <SITTING UP> What happened? Where am I?

Payar: <UNCONCERNED, FIDDLING WITH SOMETHING IN HIS HANDS> I knocked you out.

Ledas: <ANGRY, TRIES TO GET UP> You coward.

Payar: <RAISES HAND> Save it.

Ledas: <IS TOO WEAK TO GET UP, SO STAYS SITTING> At least tell me where I am!

Payar: Planet Cooler 92, on the single factory-outpost. And it’s a s**t hole.

<BANAS, LIEME, MELOON ENTER THROUGH A DOOR ON THE RIGHT>

Banas: <WALKS UP TO PAYAR AND LEDAS; BANAS SHOOTS OUT ENERGY BEAMS, WHICH BIND LEDAS, CAUSING THE SAIYAN TO RISE INTO THE AIR, HOVERING, ARMS AND LEGS OUTSTRETCHED> So tell me, Saiyan… what the hell are you doing on my planet?

Ledas: <FIGHTING AGAINST THE ENERGY BINDS> I don’t know. This wasn’t where I was going!

Banas: Still, you landed here, and that’s all that matters now. <STARTS TO PACE, A BIT> But entertain me… where was it that you were headed?

Ledas: <VERY CHILD-LIKE, STILL FIGHTING AGAINST THE ENERGY> That’s none of your business!!!

<BANAS, QUICKLY MOVES AND HITS LEDAS, SEVERAL DIFFERENT TIMES; HE GRABS LEDAS’ NECK AND PREPARES AN ENERGY BLAST>

Banas: Talk, or die. I don’t have time to play games with you all day.

Ledas: <FEARFULLY> I w-was headed to a planet. I don’t remember the name… me and Vegeta were gonna clear it out. If you just let me go..

Banas: <EXTINGUISHES HIS BALL OF ENERGY,LET‘S GO OF LEDAS, AND WALKS BACK, IGNORING HIM> Vegeta? <TURNS TO OTHERS> That name sounds familiar, who is it?

Lieme: <WITHOUT PAUSE> It’s the name of the Saiyan king, and his son.

Banas: <TURNS BACK TO LEDAS> You liar. <HITS HIM> Now, tell me where you were really going.

Ledas: I did! Me and Vegeta were going to conquer a planet for lord Frieza.

Banas: You must think I’m stupid. Frieza destroyed your home planet and killed all of the other Saiyans over a year ago.

Ledas: <IN TEARS> What? No!!! <CRYING> You’re lying!!

Banas: He he he, looks like the kid didn’t know what happened. How long have you been out of touch?

Ledas: <WITH MUCH ANGER AND HATRED> I ALREADY TOLD YOU! <LEDAS BREAKS FREE OF HIS ENERGY BINDING, BUT IS QUICKLY SUBDUED AGAIN BY MELOON AND PAYAR>

Banas: Come now, why would I lie about something like that? It’s true. But judging by your reaction, I would guess you didn’t know.

Ledas: <HEAD BOWED, STILL CRYING BUT MORE SUBDUED> No, I didn’t know…

Payar: <FAKE ENTHUSIASM> But don’t worry, you’re safe with us. After all, we’re all soldiers under Cooler, Frieza’s brother. And I don’t think he’ll try to kill you, like Frieza did.

Meloon: <CHEWING ON SOMETHING> Wewll den, can I?

<NO ONE ANSWERS>

Ledas: <QUIETLY> Just let me go…

Payar: Yeah, right. And let such you get away when we were just getting to know each other? You killed a lot of my men, you know. Somehow, I will make you pay for that.

Ledas: I promise I won’t tell anyone…

Lieme: <ARMS FOLDED> Never trust a monkey. <MELOON LAUGHS>

Banas: <BANAS HAD WALKED OVER TO A DESK, AND GATHERED SOME PAPERS, HE COME BACK TO THE GROUP> Payar and Meloon tell me that your power level is high, for being a Saiyan.

<LEDAS DOES NOT ANSWER>

Banas: <HINT OF SARCASM> We’ve already gone through this lesson. You answer me, or you die.

Ledas: I don’t know…

Banas: We’ll get a reading later then, to see how dangerous you are. For now, we need to figure out some kind of plan, to keep this quiet, and out of the ears of Guva…

To Cooler, With Love
<THE CAMERA IS LOOKING DOWN FROM THE SKY, ONTO ONE OF THE BUILDINGS; VOICES ARE HEARD COMING FROM INSIDE, AND THE CAMERA SLOWLY ZOOMS>

Payar: <STILL UNSEEN, THE CAMERA IS MOVING FORWARD TO THE BUIDLING> No, I told him not to say anything. I think we still have time.

Lieme: I do not think this will be something that you can hide for much longer, Captain. If you want to move, you need to do it now.

Banas: <CAMERA FINALLY REACHES THE BUILDING, IT GOES INSIDE, BANAS, PAYAR, AND LIEME ARE TALKING; MELOON HAS LEDAS SUBDUED IN A CORNER> Very well. Payar, Meloon, take this Saiyan to my quarters. Guva won’t be able to get in there, even if he does suspect us. We will keep the child there until I fig-<GUVA, FLANKED BY SEVERAL SOLDIERS ENTERS>

Guva: Captain Banas. <LOWERS HIS HEAD AS HE STEPS THROUGH THE DOOR; LOOKS AROUND> Conspiring, are we?

<GUVA WALKS INTO THE ROOM, LEAVING HIS GUARDS AT THE DOOR>

Banas: <WALKING FORWARD TO BLOCK THE VIEW OF LEDAS> Governor… you’re here early. I didn’t even put out the tea yet-

Guva: <WALKS PAST HIM> Spare me the theatrics, captain.

Guva: <SPOTS LEDAS, IN THE CORNER> Who is this?

Banas: He’s just one of our grunts.

Guva: <SEES LEDAS’ TAIL; SMILES> We have no Saiyans on this installation, Captain. And, if I may be so bold, I would say he was the one who recently crash landed in the southern quadrant.

Banas: That is a bold accusation.

Guva: Bold? Perhaps. Incorrect? I think not. <WITH AUTHORITY> Hand him over.

Banas: <DEFIANTLY STARES BACK AT GUVA>

Guva: Believe it or not, I am still much stronger than you, Banas. Just like always.

Banas: I hope you are not implying you wish to kill me? <LAUGHS> That would set such a bad example.

Guva: <WALKS PAST BANAS> Payar, give me the child.

Payar: <SITTING, KNEES UP AGAIN, ON THE EDGE OF THE DESK; SEEMS UNCONCERNED AS HE PAUSES FOR A SECOND> Yeah, take him.

Lieme: <IN A WHISPER TO BANAS> All of us together could take him.

Banas: <WHISPER, OUT OF THE SIDE OF HIS MOUTH; STILL EYEING GUVA>Now is not the time, Lieme.

Banas: <GUVA GRABS LEDAS, AND STARTS WALKING OUT, BANAS WAVES TO HIM> Until next time, governor. <GUVA WALKS OUT, WITHOUT ANOTHER LOOK AT BANAS> Don’t worry boys, we’ll get the last laugh out of this. I’m sure we will.

<ONBOARD COOLER’S SHIP, UNKNOWN LOCATION>

Cooler Soldier 1: My lord, we have an incoming transmission from Planet Cooler 92.

Cooler: <IN HIS CHAIR, COOLER IS LOOKING IN OPPOSITE DIRECTION, OUT AT A WINDOW> Very well.

<SOLDIERS TURN ON THE SCREEN, GUVA IS STANDING, LOOKING THROUGH HIS SCREEN>

Cooler: <AS IF BORED> What is it, governor.

Guva: Yes, my lord. <PAUSES> We recently had an intruder land at our base.

Cooler: <TAIL MOVES, AS IF IRRITATED>

Guva: This intruder was a Saiyan. He killed several of our men, and his power level is quite high.

Cooler: <TURNS AROUND TO LOOK AT GUVA> Now why, governor, would you go out of your way to call me up over such a pedestrian tale?

Guva: It was only a child, milord.

Cooler: Ah. Just a child… that nearly managed to topple your little regime? And it benefits you to tell me this, how?

Guva: No sir, we were able to contain him, quite fast actually. But we thought since Lord Frieza’s destruction of the Saiyan planet so long ago, this could be one of the last… so we kept him alive…

Cooler: Even my dear brother couldn’t get rid of all the rats. It’s just like him to be careless with that. No, even he has several onboard his ship, right now.

Guva: Oh… well, since this one looks like he could have a lot of potential… maybe you would like to take him, milord?

Cooler: You <EXPRESSION REMAINS UNREADABLE> wish to give me a gift.

Guva: Yes… sir.

Cooler: You know, governor, I remember 92. And I must say… I am surprised.

Guva: Sir?

Cooler: Planet 92, is a rather easy one to manage. Quite different from the trials it took to get a governor there, but an easy rule nonetheless. The local species are weak, but they are also useful workers. I assumed that you would like that. But, perhaps, you would prefer more excitement? More adrenaline? Tell me, governor, was I wrong in putting you in charge of that planet?

Guva: N-no, sir. Of course not.

Cooler: Planet Vegeta was in Frieza’s quadrant. They are his mess, his fear. I do not care about his drama, governor. Such things are beneath me, and should be beneath you. <TURNS BACK TO FACE THE WINDOW> Though I must say, if only a child was able to kill so many of your soldiers, he will be an interesting, if not impressive project, should you decide to keep him.

Guva: Yes, my lord.

Cooler: Perhaps, with enough guidance, he could outmatch you one day.

Guva: <GUVA TRIES TO HIDE HIS RAGE, LIP TREMBLING> Yes, of course, lord Cooler.

Cooler: Oh, one more thing, Mr. Guva. If I wanted to reassign you, I would have done it by now. Good day, governor.

<TRANSMISSION ENDS, STAYS ON GUVA IN HIS OFFICE. BANAS, WHO WAS OFFSCREEN, ENTERS>

Guva: <SHOOTS A POWERFUL BEAM OF ENERGY THROUGH HIS WINDOW, MELTING A LARGE CIRCLE THROUGH IT> The f**k am I supposed to do?!?!?!

Banas: Backfired, did it? <LAUGHS>

Guva: <FURIOUSLY> Brilliant deduction, s**thead.

Guva: <TRYING TO COMPOSE HIMSELF> Br-bring in the child.

Banas: Why?

Guva: That wordy little bastard gave me an idea. Go on, bring him in!

<BANAS GOES OUTSIDE, RETURNS WITH LEDAS>

Guva: <REGALLY> Good news, Saiyan. I will spare your life.

Banas: <MOCKINGLY> Now that you’re safe, I think we should-

Guva: You will be part of Banas’ team.

Banas <EYES WIDEN> What?

Guva: That’s right, YOU will train him. It will be your job to make him into a competent soldier.

Banas: <STEPING FORWARD, TRYING TO ELIMINATE LEDAS FROM THE CONVERSATION> <HE GETS RIGHT UP TO GUVA’S FACE> We did not discuss this.

Guva: <MENTALLY PUSHING HIM BACK> “We” don’t have to. I am in charge here.

Banas: Don’t count on it being as easy as before, kid. <WALKS OUT ANGRILY>

Guva: Now, Saiyan, let‘s talk for a moment.

Ledas: Sir?

Guva: You know the man who just left… Banas? My captain?

Ledas: <FEARFULLY, LOOKING AT THE GROUND> Yeah…

Guva: I get the feeling you don’t like him.

Ledas: <OBVIOUSLY SCARED> I don’t know him…

Guva: You don’t need to lie to me. As it so happens, I don’t like him either. So, I ask again; do you like my captain?

Ledas: <A BIT MORE CONFIDENTLY> No.

Guva: <SMILES> That’s more like it. Now, let us discuss what I want to do to him.

Ledas: But he’s right outside, he could hear you!

Guva: Then, <KNEELING DOWN> let us whisper now, together, you and I.

Ledas: <INNOCENTLY> Do you want me to kill him?

Guva: <STILL IN A WHISPER> Train under him, learn all he knows. And then, when the opportunity presents itself, dispose of the bastard.

Ledas: But… what’s in it for me?

Guva: How about I don’t kill you.

Ledas: <STARES AT GUVA, CURIOUS>

Guva: Is that not enough for you? How would some information about your fellow Saiyans do, then?

Ledas: <EAGERLY> There are other Saiyans alive? Who? When can we see them?

Guva: <PUTS ONE FINGER OVER HIS LIPS>

Guva: <GESTURES TO THE DOOR> Until next time, then.

<CUTS TO BANAS, HE IS ANGRILY WALKING OUT OF GUVA’S OFFICE, AND IS DOWN ONTO THE GROUND LEVEL NOW; AS HE WALKS, HE, IN TANTRUM, KICKS UP THE DIRT AS HE WALKS>

<BANAS ENTERS THE BARRACKS, AMONG OTHER SOLDIERS, PAYAR IS THERE>

Banas: <AGITATED> Payar, we’re going.

Payar: <SITS UP> Where to, captain?

Banas: I haven’t the faintest idea.

<SPACE SHOT OF A PLANET, IT IS NOT 92; THE CAMERA DISSOLVES INTO FOCUS ON PLANET IT IS FLAT, WITH SOME HILLS, BUT THERE ARE VERY FEW TREES, THE GROUND IS COVERED IN A LIGHT YELLOW/GREEN TALL GRASS; THERE ARE FIVE SPACE PODS LINED UP IN A ROW, EMPTY; DOWN A TRAIL, BANAS AND HIS ‘TAINS, AS WELL AS LEDAS ARE ALL IN A FLAT AREA>

<ALL ARE WALKING, BANAS SEEMS A BIT PREOCCUPIED>

Payar: Yeah, you should’ve seen the look on their faces… ha ha ha!

Meloon: You let ‘em keep their faces? I tell ya, I wouldn’t have done that.

Payar: That’s the difference between you and me, Meloon. I keep people around to witness what I do to them. You just kill them all, before anyone can see what happened.

Banas: Stop, this is it.

Meloon: This is what?

Banas: <TO LEDAS> I want you to show me your full power.

Ledas: <AS IF UNABLE TO, DUE TO VEGETA’S INFLUENCE> I can’t…

Banas: That is no matter. I have other ways to force my will.

<THE WIND PICKS UP, A LITTLE>

Banas: Meloon?

Meloon: Yeah, boss?

Banas: Make him bleed.

Meloon: <A WIDE SMILE ON HIS FACE> No probl’m.

<MELOON MOVES FORWARD, LEDAS MOVES BACK>

Meloon: Aw, come back. I ain’t gonna hurt ya! <CRACKING HIS KNUCKLES> Heh heh heh!!! <LEDAS STOPS, MELOON DISAPPEARS, AND REAPPEARS BEHIND LEDAS, HE PUNCHES LEDAS AWAY, INTO THE GROUND; MELOON WALKS UP, AND PICKS THE CHILD UP BY HIS TAIL> Come on, kid. Ya aren’t even tryin’! <THROWS LEDAS AWAY, HE LANDS ON HIS FEET>

Banas: You know, kid, it must have been hard to deal with the thought that all you care about, they are all dead. It’s only you left… all alone, with your betters.

Ledas: Shut up!!!

Banas: Your parents, your friends, all gone.

Ledas: SHUT UP!!!!!

<BANAS NODS TO MELOON, WHO ATTACKS AGAIN; THIS TIME LEDAS DODGES, AND FIGHTS BACK, HE STARTS RAINING ENERGY BLASTS DOWN ON MELOON>

Meloon: Heh, that tickles. <HE RISES INTO THE AIR AND KICKS LEDAS, SENDING HIM FLYING, MELOON FIRES A BEAM OF ENERGY AFTER HIM, WHICH DETONATES ON LEDAS AND CAUSES A HUGE BURST OF SMOKE; THROUGH THE BOTTOM OF IT, LEDAS DROPS TO THE GROUND; MELOON PURSUES HIM; WHEN MELOON REACHES LEDAS, HE STEPS ON THE UNMOVING CHILD, PRESSING DOWN; LEDAS STARTS SCREAMING, AND SPITTING UP BLOOD>

Meloon: Ha ha ha!

<LEDAS SENDS OUT A WAVE OF ENERGY AND PUSHES MELOON OFF OF HIM; HE THEN, GETS UP AND CHARGES AT MELOON, PUNCHING AT HIM

Lieme: <WATCHING FROM AFAR> 15,000, captain.

Banas: That’s high, for a Saiyan, and a child at that. But still, I wonder why he is putting up so much of a fight with Meloon…

<CUTS BACK TO LEDAS, WHO IS VIGOROUSLY ATTACKING MELOON; MELOON, GETTING ANNOYED, BATS HIM AWAY, LEDAS FALLS TO THE GROUND AGAIN>

Meloon: <THERE IS A SMALL BRUISE ON HIS FACE, HE IS AWARE OF IT> You can’t beat me, you’re just a stupid monkey! <WALKS UP TO LEDAS, STARTS STOMPING DOWN ON HIM>

Ledas: Ahhhhhh!!!!!

Lieme: <SHOUTING, FROM AFAR> Meloon! You’re going to kill him.

Meloon: So?

Lieme: Do you remember nothing?! We are to keep him alive!

Meloon: Uh, I knew that.

<BANAS, LIEME, AND PAYAR WALK UP TO MELOON; LEDAS IS ON THE GROUND, COVERED IN BLOOD, GASPING AND COUGHING>

Lieme: <KNEELING DOWN TO LEDAS, INSPECTING THE CHILD> Cap’n, he’s going to die, if we don’t do anything soon. He has massive internal bleeding.

Banas: Idiot, Meloon! Payar, you have a kit on you?

Payar: Yeah, I’ll save him… <QUIETLY> this time.

Banas: <LOOKING OFF INTO THE DISTANCE> Fix him up, and let me know when you’re done. I’m going to go check something out. <BANAS TAKES OFF, AND STARTS FLYING, LOW TO GROUND, HIS SCOUTER IS SHOWING STRANGE CHARACTERS, AFTER A WHILE, BANAS LANDS>

Banas: So, what are you doing here? As you can see, I already eliminated this planet. There’s no real purpose for you to be here… unless you’re following me.

<THREE ALIENS COME OUT, FROM BEHIND SOME FOLIAGE>

Alien 1: Don’t tell me we’re in the presence of the illustrious Captain Banas?

Banas: <WITH HIS BACK TO THEM> You from 96? You smell like it.

Alien 3: Aha ha ha. Classy as every, Captain.

Banas: Yeah, you’re from 96. So why‘d you follow me?

Alien 1: It was foolish to return here, Banas. <NODS TO THE OTHER ALIENS THEY ALL ATTACK>

<BEFORE THEY REACH BANAS, HE JUMPS TO THE AIR, STILL NOT FACING THEM, THEY CHARGE, AND HE DOES A BACKFLIP OVER THEM, LANDING RIGHT BEHIND THE SECOND ALIEN, HE BLASTS IT; THE OTHER TWO TURN AROUND AND ATTACK HIM, SENDING TONS OF BLASTS TOWARD BANAS, WHO EFFORTLESSLY HITS THEM AWAY, HE WORKS HIS WAY THROUGH THE BLASTS ALL THE WAY TO ALIEN 3, AND WITH A SINGLE SWIPE, DECAPITATES THE ALIEN; THE FIRST ALIEN IS HIT WITH A BLAST, AND FALLS TO THE GROUND>

Banas: <DECENDS TO THE GROUND, NEXT TO SINGED ALIEN> You’ve a lot to learn. And you’re lucky I’m in a good mood. Because I want you to go and tell your captain what I‘ve done. Tell him that 92 will always beat you guys at 96 any day, any place.

<THE ALIEN GETS UP, AND RUNS OFF; BANAS WATCHES HIM, THEN, WHEN THE ALIEN IS OUT OF SIGHT, BANAS RETURNS TO HIS SQUAD>

Payar: <LOOKING DOWN, STILL WORKING ON LEDAS> What was that all about?

Banas: Sometimes, I just get the urge to shake the beehive, to see if the bees will actually come out to sting me.

Lieme: <STANDING, LOOKING AT BANAS> So did they?

Banas: Heh, we’ll see.

Trivia

 * This saga, timeline wise, takes place over the longest period of time in the series.
 * Cooler is the only previously established Dragon Ball Character in this saga
 * Ledas is the only character from the Prince Vegeta Saga present.
 * PC92's gravity is only 5 times that of Earth (half of Planet Vegeta). This may help explain some of the seemingly unexpected power level increases.
