Was it true? Ryouken wasnt sure but he would be damned if he would let this oportunity slip away. He had been told that a black star dragon ball was hidden somewhere within the planet of Namkai, and that there was a barter trying to sell it off as a mere Gem.
Usually Ryo wasnt the Dragonball hunter, but with a black star in his possesion he had leveredge over many people, and if he could just wait for someone else to capture the others, then he would have a powerful wish on his hands, one that would not only give him power, but also destroy whatever helpless planet he chose to go to.
Ryouken began his search, his immediate response to this news was "Where?" And to his good fortune, the Namkai creature that had told him was also friends with the man selling the 2 star Dragon ball. Ryouken simply lied telling the creature that he wished to purchase the ball, when reality was that the moment he got his hands on it he would kill the man selling it...or maybe even before he had it in his possesion. Now matter what he was planning to do, he knew that it was important that he keep his cover until the man had the ball in sight.
Ryo chose to where his normal outfit, as it hid his tail well, and it kept most of his identity sealed. it wasnt saiyan armor, so he could easily pass off as a hunter looking to buy and sell. Flipping his hood up to hide his genetic spiky hair, ryo was off to meet the man that would soon make him the most powerfull being in the galaxy.
With Ryo's ability to Instant transmission, it was easy to go from the saiyan base, out to the trading spot of the Namkai creatures. it was a marketplace filled with both traveling merchants, and locally owned shops. All of them booming with buisness, and ryouken sighed. it was very obviouse that finding this guy would be one needle in a haystack. No matter, he would simply go from merchant to merchant until he would finally find the one he was after.
To no avail Ryo continued to search, one creature after another he was turned down, some had no idea what he was talking about, and his questioning startled others. This ball was obviously of great power, and many of the creatures on Namkai knew it. Ryo had began to think that this entire thing was a waste of time until finally a customer of another shop responded to his questioning.
“Yeah” he said to ryouken nudging him from behind
“I am the one you are looking for, but I don’t have it here, it is in my base outside the city, come with me and I will sell it to you for a cheap price, since I know how hard it must have been to find me.”
Ryo was content with the mans offer and followed him out of the city. Of course it was strange that the man who offered to sell the ball was not a Namkai creature, when it was clear that this was a predomanently Namkai settlement. Whatever it was it appeared to be alien-like, the cloth he was wearing was one of a peasent, so ryouken had no problem with following the obviously disillusioned man.
When they were clearly outside the city, the man pulled out a gun, it appeared to be of normal firing ability, and it was obviously from earth. The man snickered and through the laughter said
“You fool, I am not selling the ball, I was going to buy it, and you will not get it before me, I will simply be taking out the competition”
Ryouken looked unenthused, frankly he was not impressed by the mans attempts and was very bored with the situation, Ryo shrugged it off with a sour comment
“Listen if you don’t have the ball then please stop wasting my time, I have more important things to do then watch you flail a toy in my face”
The alien grew furious and let out a growl saying “You rotten scum, I’ll kill you! I was going to let you live, but now I don’t feel so generous!”
Firing the gun and laughing histerically, the man had shot ryouken, through the smoke of the fairly primitive pistol the alien laughed, so hard infact that tears rolled down his face, until his laugh was stopped by the image of his adversary standing feet from him, with a bullet held in his hand.
Ryouken dropped the bullet and frowned “Why do I always face the stupid ones” He said holding out his finger pointing it dead at the mans throat and saying softly “Death Beam” The beam shot as fast as the bullet had, the only difference was that Ryoukens shot not only pierced the skin, but shot out the backside of the mans throat. His facial expression was nothing more then pure horror as blood immediately began spurting from his mouth. Unfortunatly for the man, Ryouken had not hit the optic nerve, and so the man would be alive for a few moments, just long enough for him to drowned in the blood.
Ryouken didn’t smile, didn’t laugh, he didn’t even so much as acknowledge the mans death. He simply picked up the mans ratty coat and searched the pockets with a note that said –Meet me in the alleys behind floral prime, I will have both of them for you then-
“Both of them!?”
Ryouken said in both shock and excitement, was it possible he would take home not only one, but two dragonballs today, from the same collection. It was obviouse that this man had paid a good deal for these, and ryouken came to the realization that if this man could get ahold of 2 dragonballs, he must not be a run of the mill trader, suddenly ryouken realized that he was up against a proffesional hunter.
Ryouken went to the trader in seek of the dragonballs. This time he brough his scouter, yes it gave his identity away, but at the moment he needed to know the power level of the person he would be facing.
Power reading……….1200
Ryouken scoffed, his power was nearly twice 9 times that amount, the mear fact that he was worried about this man made the entire situation seem embarresing.
Walking to the man he let out a smile and said
“Yes I am here to pick up my dragon balls”
The man looked at the slip of paper and looked back at ryouken a few times, almost like a doubletake of who was standing infront of him
“I don’t remember dealing with saiyans” he said cautiously backing up grabbing the sack at his side tightly
Ryouken sighed, it was obviouse that they had to do this the hard way. He approached the man, picking him up by his shirt he yelled
“Listen we can do this the easy way, I give you receipt and you give me what I want. Or I can kill you!”
Then man reluctantly handed Ryouken the bag. It was easier then he had thought, apparently the man he had killed had previously paid for the dragonballs and that ryouken was just picking them up for him. The fact that he was a saiyan simply made the man fear him.
Ryouken returned to his hideout, he was dying of antisipation, he couldn’t wait to see his two grand dragonballs, looking at them he was disappointed, this was not what he had wanted at all, this was outrageous, how did the man even do this.
Ryouken looked to see the black 1 star dragon ball and the Namekian 2 star ball, now he held two completely different dragonballs.
“Well I suppose there are some ups and downs but now…I must go to namek to speak with Porunga”
Ryouken sighed, this would be harder then he had thought…..
END
Black star 1 and Namek star 2
