"I'm going to ask this one question of you both. What path do you intend to follow? The Warrior, who fights in earnest? Or the Soldier, who fights in order to blindly follow orders? Think about that question, and think about it long and hard. I won't fight you yet, because I'm not your enemy and I don't think you really believe that either. My brother is my only true enemy, and if he ends up being the only Saiyan I have to fight against then I would consider that a good day."

Tabaga stared at Prince Negi with an unreadable expression on her face for a few moments before finally speaking up. "I won't lie. This isn't how I expected this day to go when I woke up a few hours ago." She said quietly. "I'll help you fight them but I don't want to see innocents caught in the war-zone."

She floated closer to Prince Negi and bowed her head towards him. "My name is Tabaga. I don't know that much about this planet to be honest. I just woke up a few hours ago after my attack ball crashed. But what I do know is that our people either have to change or die. There's just not enough of us left to carry on the way we used to."

She extended her hands towards the prince. "If you'll have me. I'll help you protect this world."

I'm currently on my way to meet up with the group

Dragon Ball Gaiden

@Double

Ocean

The waters around the area where Tabaga had submerged herself to get rid of the acid were somewhat calm at the moment. Until a moment later, a swirling vortex emerged from the water and the fuming Saiyan emerged from the vortex.

I hate Saibamen.

She tried reading her scouter only to see nothing but garbled readings once again. She lightly smacked the device until the readings cleared up for a few moments and she was finally able to listen in to whatever communications were going on.

"-location so soon? You're getting sloppy, Your Highness. But very well, come to us then we will finish this."

"Oh no...I know that voice." She groaned aloud. "You couldn't have done the galaxy a favor and died with Planet Vegeta." Wait a second...Is one of the royal family here? On this little blue dirtball?

"If that's what you want, Jagen. I'll defeat you all, and my brother will be next!"

For a moment, Tabaga was torn. She had the chance to start a life on this planet. She could avoid the entire fight and hope that Price Negi could defeat the other Saiyans here. She could hide out and sit on the island she had found and enjoy the sun and the sound of waves crashing against the shore.

Her own thoughts back before she had gone into suspended animation five years ago were coming back to haunt her. The Saiyan race is nearly gone. If we want to survive we can't be conquerors anymore. We need to create a place in this galaxy where we are no longer feared but rather respected.

Tabaga looked down at her hands.

How much blood had once coated these hands? How many aliens had she murdered over the years? How many of her own people had she beaten to a pulp while training in her younger days. How many times had she seen a look of terror on some poor person's face before she killed them?

How many times had she laughed as she had done it?

Tabaga sighed heavily.

I refuse to be that person any longer. As far as I'm concerned at this point, this world, no matter how annoying it may be will be under my protection and be my responsibility. Maybe the people will even be grateful.

She rose into the air and locked in on Prince Negi's scouter. It had to be the one near a few other somewhat less powerful power levels and she shot off in that direction, taking special care to avoid the other Saiyan power levels she was picking up.

Dragon Ball Gaiden

Tabaga's scouter suddenly beeped as it picked up an incoming power level behind her.

"What the hell?!" She exclaimed in an angry tone as she turned around and saw a large amount of acid coming directly at her. For the most part she was dodge most of the acid spray but a few smaller droplets hit her armor.

She narrowed her eyes at the enraged Saibaman coming at her and resisted the urge to wipe the acid off her armor. The stuff would burn through her hand easily. Tabaga launched herself at the green creature and saw that this one was going to be quite a bit more difficult to deal with than the other one. It seemed to be a little bit stronger then the previous one and it was clearly angry about the death of the previous one.

"Bring it!" She shouted as she launched a barrage of energy blasts at the Saibaman who though barely, was able to dodge some of the more damaging blasts. Tabaga thought she had it for a moment as she fired another barrage at it, but it had somehow managed to break through the barrage and slammed her directly in the head with it's elbow.

Tabaga went flying backward and slammed into the ocean below and let out a roar of rage as she launched herself back into the air and aimed herself directly back at the green creature. She was bleeding from the impact from her head and her vision was a bit off. The damn thing had gotten in a good hit. She slammed into the Saibaman's stomach head first and sent it flying backward. The two combatants stared at each other.

Malfunction.

Tabaga let out a groan. Her scouter looked as if it was damaged. It was still operational but everything was badly garbled on the readout. The blood flow coming from her head was decreasing a bit but her vision was getting slightly worse.

Time to get serious

The Saibaman let out a howl of anger and launched itself at her as Tabaga let out a battle cry and and did the same thing. After a furious exchange of blows, Tabaga elbowed the creature in it's neck and it let out a cry of pain. Before it could finish, Tabaga got behind it and swiftly broke it's neck. She felt a burning coming from her hands and she let out a shout of pain. Her palms were smoking from where acid had somehow gotten into contact with her hands.

Damn it!

The Saiyan Woman swiftly flew down into the water in an effort to get the acid off of her hands.

Dragon Ball Gaiden

Tabaga had been nearly overwhelmed with joy after flying south and finding a much more temperature friendly climate. There had even been a small island with tall trees and small brown fruits hanging off them. Truth be told, she had still felt a bit drained after the time in the pod so she had landed as gently as she could and had laid down on her back on the yellow sand and had almost immediately decided that this planet wasn't as bad as she thought it was.

The sound of waves and the cries of the flying animals above her had nearly lulled her to sleep but just as she had drifted off her stomach had begun to growl.

Damn, I'm hungry.

After looking up at the trees and seeing the coconuts hanging from the tree next to her a sudden idea came to mind. It might not be meat but I don't care at this point. She thought as she smacked the tree with the palm of her hand and four the fruits landed next to her as the tree shook violently. A few minutes later, nothing was left of the coconuts except the shells and Tabaga was content.

At least until a somewhat familiar cry echoed through the air. She recognized it from somewhere but she couldn't place it.

Her eyes shot open and she turned towards the approaching dot in the sky and her eyes narrowed angrily. Whoever had disturbed this relaxing afternoon was going to be in a world of pain. A moment later, a green skinned Saibaman dropped down in front of her and she rose to her feet and extended her hand towards it.

"I don't know how you got her little guy and I don't know why your bothering me. Why don't you just go back to whoever planted you? I'm having a great day so far and I'd rather you not ruin it."

The Saibaman responded with a growl and a somewhat angry hiss and Tabaga sighed heavily. "You know, I used to enjoy fighting you guys when I was little but I'm a little beyond your level now. Last chance, go away."

The Saibaman launched itself as her and Tabaga was barely able to dodge out of the way in her somewhat weakened state. "Huh. Your a tough little thing aren't you? Okay. I could use a work out." The Saibaman let out a laugh as it launched itself at her and attempted to claw her repeatedly with it's claws. Tabaga was barely able to avoid the attacks but she was confident she could destroy the thing with a few good hits. A moment later, the Saibaman released a blast of acid from the top of it's head which Tabaga dodged but it hit one of the beautiful looking trees behind her.

She turned to look back at the disintegrating tree and then back at the Saibaman that she swore was smirking at her.

"Bad move on your part." Tabaga growled as two glowing orbs of light appeared in her hands and she unleashed a barrage of energy blasts at the Saibaman which let out repeating howls of pain before Tabaga finished it off with a full power strike to it's head.

She sighed heavily.

I need to find out who sent those little pests. And I was having such a nice day... She rose into the air and switched her scouter on and locked in on the highest power source she could find.

Whoever you are...You are in for a world of pain. She swore to herself as she flew in the direction of the highest power signatures.

@Double

Dragon Ball Gaiden

I already hate this planet.

Tabaga muttered under her breath as she rubbed her hands together in a futile attempt to stay warm as she stared daggers at the attack ball. Already damaged in an asteroid field, the damn thing had found her a planet to land on for which she was grateful. But did this planet have to be so cold?! She had been stuck in this frozen wasteland for nearly five hours now and the attack ball was damaged enough that it wasn't going to be flying anytime soon. Or ever now that she took a closer look at it. It was probably the asteroid field encounter that had done the most damage.

Could be worse. I could be a frozen corpse in space. She thought as she tried to find something in this frozen wasteland other than ice and snow and not succeeding. She was still feeling a bit weak after nearly five years in stasis and the fact that her current environment was less then hospitable.

If I don't get out of here I'm most likely going to freeze. She thought bitterly as she slowly rose into the air and tried to catch sight of anything other than ice and snow. The only thing she saw was a far off storm cloud approaching her from what she assumed was the east. She thought she could see a far off body of water and a few distant specks which could be islands off towards the west.

"Screw this." She muttered aloud. "If I head south I might find something warmer." She quickly rose a bit further into the air and flew off south.

Tabaga

Name: Tabaga
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Race: Saiyan

Appearance:

Personality: Tabaga was originally considered rather bloodthirsty and sadistic, even by her people's standards. That changed after the destruction of Planet Vegeta and the loss of all her family and what few friends she had. Her personality slowly began to shift away from being bloodthirsty and sadistic and she slowly became more cautious and more careful before engaging foes in battle due to the fact that pretty much in a single day the Saiyan race went from numbering in the thousands to whatever Saiyans were off planet. She doesn't know exactly how many are left total, but she knows that something needs to change if their race is to survive.

History: Tabaga was born on Planet Vegeta as nearly all Saiyans were but she was born with a slightly above average power level. When she was of the age to begin fighting and training she quickly rose through the class ranks and was known for having a brutal streak even as a child. This continued for years until she was finally sent on her first off planet assignment with a squad of warriors. When they arrived on the planet they were supposed to conquer, Tabaga pretty much threw herself into the oncoming hordes of enemy combatants and began to tear through them, not caring if she was injured. When the job was done, Tabaga was barely able to stand but her battle lust had been sated.

As the years went by, she continued fighting and growing stronger and was on her way to return to Planet Vegeta after a successful mission when she received news that the planet had been destroyed. The nearest outpost was very far off and before going into suspended animation for the long trip to the outpost, she began to think about what the destruction of her home planet meant for both the Saiyan race and the rest of the Galaxy. After going into suspended animation, an encounter with an asteroid field forced the pod to automatically change course for the nearest inhabitable world. A rather small blue planet that she knew nothing about.

@Eviledd1984 Well, namely, did he land somewhere remote and just sort of quietly integrated himself into the population or did he land in the middle of some city and cause a societal meltdown? Personally I prefer the former, but you get the idea. About the only thing that makes him different from humans is the blue skin. And honestly, when the Earth in this setting is known for having people like Chiaotzu, then a dude with blueish skin probably isn't going to be too difficult to explain away.

@Chev If I may ask, did her pod drift for 5 years before it finally made it to Earth? Just wanted to clarify that Planet Vegeta's destruction was five years ago and Negi would have arrived on Earth some weeks or months after that. It would be awfully hard for a second pod to also end up on Earth without Negi or someone else detecting it. Like I said, if the pod's been drifting with her in stasis for 5 years then I can accept that, otherwise... I'm not so sure.

@Double

Yeah. The pod has been drifting for about five years. I feel stupid for not putting that in the character history XD

X-Men: The New Era - Issue II: Avalon Rising

My Hider

Name: Daniela Steele

Nickname/Aliases: None

X-Men Code Name: Voltage

Gender: Female

Age: 18 and a half

Physical Description: Daniela weighs around 135 pounds and is around 5'11 in height. She normally wears a Black T-shirt and blue jeans with grey tennis shoes

Mutations: Ability to manipulate electricity, fire electrical blasts from her hands and absorb limited amounts of electricity.

Personality: Despite the recent circumstances that found her at the Ashford Institute for the Gifted, she has a somewhat questioning demeanor when it comes to new people. She's a bit uneasy around Mutants she's not familiar with due to the circumstances that brought her to the Ashford Institute.

Background: Daniela isn't really sure of the circumstances of how she was born or where she was born. She knows she was adopted after sneaking a look at some hospital papers that were carelessly left out one day while visiting the Doctor's office but every time the subject was brought up, it was swiftly dropped and the topic redirected. Eventually she simply came to the conclusion that her birth parents simply didn't want her and accepted that the family that raised her were the ones who truly loved and cared for her. Daniela had a fairly average childhood. She made a number of friends, graduated High school as an average student and as soon as she graduated she and a number of her friends set off on a summer road trip.

Unknown to her at the time, this was a bad decision.

After loading up the car and turning up the radio, the three friends set off on their road trip and found themselves traveling across the country. They stopped in a number of famous cities until they eventually found themselves in New York. This was supposed to be the Highlight of the trip and for a few days it was. Looking back on it, Daniela found it was the last time she would have fun with her friends.

On the fourth day in New York, a battle erupted between a group of small-time meta-human villains and a few aspiring heroes who felt that civilian casualties were acceptable while trying to take down their villainous counterparts. One of Daniela's friends was killed when Daniela's vehicle was crushed by debris and Daniela herself was badly wounded when she was nearly crushed beneath a power pole. The wires on the power pole were sparking wildly as the battle raged nearby and Daniela could only watch in horror as the aspiring heroes were finally cut down and the villains turned their attention to the few survivors. Daniela could feel complete and utter terror rising up in her as one of them approached her and grinned down at her with a sadistic smile.

It was at the moment that one of the live wires touched Daniela's back and moments later, a blast of electricity erupted from her where the wire had made contact. The last thing she remembered was a flash of light filling the area and a terrified expression on her would-be-killer's face. After waking up and managing to free herself, she found the charred bodies of four people nearby, including her other friend, two people she didn't know and the villain.

Daniela immediately ran away and has been running from the authorities ever since.

Recap of your mutations awakening: Complete and utter terror and a jolt of electricity caused her mutant abilities to awaken. At the moment, she has little control over them and when under severe stress or terror she tends to completely lose control over her abilities and her power tends to explode outward.
