A wall of white…
While most people imagined the Southern Lands’ Great Desert to be the worst place to be stranded in, the edge of the Northern Lands wasn’t much better. Snow was miserable to drive through on a good day, and then add the occasional blizzard in the harsher seasons and it was a recipe for disaster. One heavy snowdrift too many, and you were stuck for a long while… and that was assuming the vehicle would even start again afterwards. Of course, the biggest difference was the safety net of the Capsule Corporation’s oversight of the land – so long as you were willing to pay the bill, they could get emergency services just about anywhere… unfortunately, that wasn’t happening this time around. ”S'rry, boss; but we’re dead in the water… it’ll be at least an 'our before the engine’s warmed up enough again, if my, err, ‘fix’ works out. M'chanic stuff isn’t exactly what I’m paid for, but I’m confident in this.”“D-Dammit… we’re still a few miles from the rendevouz for the Northern Lands crew. Can’t – Can’t you speed it up at all?! Capsule Corp’s surveillance already has an eye on us, I’m sure; any time wasted isn’t good news at all…!”With a blizzard building around them, the unlikely quartet had made something of a makeshift camp around the broken down truck and its small convoy – just three vehicles in total. Unfortunately, the camp’s idea of a campfire was the struggling automobile’s engine, hooked up to an auxiliary battery with jumper cables… or, well, as much as one could make their own jumper cables out of some spare wires and pliers. It wasn’t pretty, but it seemed to be working; if very slowly. ”I’ve had a bad history with making mir'cles, sorry.” teased Waka idly, leaning on the side of the truck – she was sort of used to these sorts of struggles in the snow, and wasn’t too worried on the whole. They’d be back on their way soon enough, after all. “But, you want a drink? I impr'vised a bit…” she offered, holding up a trio of canned coffees; warmed against the engine as she’d been heating it back up. Not very nice drinks, but they could definitely pep you up. Though, they looked rather tiny compared to the hefty fox… “I’ll pass! Just keep the other hire busy, okay? I don’t want you two conking out in the middle of this… dammit, this is no good. Where’s Cedric?! I’d better keep him updated…!”As the older man stormed off to back of the meagre convoy, Waka just gave a weak shrug – not her business. But, she was a little concerned by how jumpy her temporary boss was… the guy was looking really worked up about this insignificant delay. She’d had her suspicions from the start, but now they were getting under her skin a little bit… ----------------- Tarara Pass was about as backwater as a town could get; fitting just between the Northern Lands and the Central Lands’ border, and not even on a main road. Finding a job there was like stepping on gold in the middle of the desert – after all, Capsule Corp could just snatch up any off-hand jobs and give them to their usual contractors instead of any freelancers. But, there was a reason why they didn’t have their hands on this one… though he hadn’t been subtle about it, the man offering the work was intent on keeping under the Capsule Corp’s radar. And, he even wanted an escort to make sure of it. It added up… no doubt he was some other company’s thug doing the legwork. Though, asking around at a backwater bar was a bit bizarre to her, but maybe he’d seen too many movies. Waka wasn’t going to miss a chance like that (after a few drinks, admittedly), and had enough experience with the north to be comfortable with any work there – Capsule Corp’s cronies didn’t tend to care about the outskirts anyway, so it ought to be easy money. But, she had no clue what the cargo was, which had made her raise an eyebrow. Still, good money, so… no worries, right? They even had two other folks on protection, so even any bandits shouldn’t be a big worry. Hell, her unlikely comrade was even a Saiyan, or so he’d said! Exciting stuff. Kinda made her peckish, but that was neither here nor there. As for the man himself… he looked like he was ex-Capsule Corp himself, but had torn all the logos off of his uniform. He even had protection of his own already; ‘Cedric’; who was always loaded up with Wheelo Enterprises’ armour. Hidden behind a helmet and not saying a word; he seemed like a professional. ”Gotcha. So I’m on the truck taking point? Saiy'n’s in the middle, and then you and your buddy on the back… right. Let me pick up some extra tools just in case, and then I can be off; I don’t have any luggage to fuss over. Well, after I have one for the road, anyway…”----------------- …well, now he seemed more suspicious than professional. Waka got the feeling she ought to keep away from those two, and just get the job done. At least her fellow freelancer seemed to be better company, though she hadn’t gotten the chance to meet him properly yet. With that in mind, she gave the second truck’s door a knock to get Grenn’s attention. ”Hey, puppy. D' you want a coffee? It’ll warm you right up. If you survive the taste, anyway.” she offered idly, looking as bored as ever, and not sounding much different this time. ”We should be moving again in a little while, so don’t panic. You got any good stories? Some mood music? I’ll take anything right about now… the boss is getting really jumpy.”[986/986] [986/6000]

Grenn would have simply replied normally "Firts off Im not a Puppy....second, actually ill take some! No sugar i like it strong " grenn could be heard chuckling, from the voice he seemed just like any other guy who would work in this kind of operations tho to be fair grenn was always more of a guys who would take a job for necessity at the same moment, after a little she could hear a loud sigh as the door opened
"Its way too warm inside..." Grenn would actually get out in the whole waiting since he was much more used to cold then Heat, Waka could see a saiyan, stranger then most with glowy like blood red eyes and black hairs aswell as a developed beard.
As grenn sighed and looked at her for pretty much the first time he would think a second "huh....so you're a fox girl.....was about time i saw you i suppose....was getting tired of hearing you over Comms." Grenn would have simply sighed after this as he cracked his neck and sat casually on snow appareantly not minding the cold at all. It was a little strange to describe but looking at him was either like getting un unseattling feeling or a calming one, which really depended on who it was looking at him
after a little he would turn his attantion back towards her after looking around "Hmmmm....i have the feeling this job isnt what we bargained for at all..." Grenn said calmly not caring was near him to hear

Waka was pretty used to people trying to stop her calling people ‘puppy’, but… well, it was a pretty unsuccessful endeavour. Everyone was just a bit tiny compared to her, so… she couldn’t help it. And… she didn’t particularly mind it being rather condescending, either. Still, she’d hold her tongue; leaning quite comfortably against the truck. With her size, she just about came up to the window anyway. But, she’d soon regret it as Grenn opened the door eagerly – d-definitely a Saiyan, as she briefly stumbled back while it swung open on her.
Still, she’d appreciate the friendliness, and hand over the little can – well, little for her. She wasn’t kidding, at least; it was piping hot! Very welcome in the snow. As she opened her own, the pair would take a moment to appraise each other… hm, so this was a Saiyan in the Central Lands, huh? She’d only met a few… and none quite as fuzzy at him. Honestly, though, he wore the beard nicely… a-ah, well, this wasn't the time. That said… he did have an unnerving look to him, she had to admit. Those eyes made her a bit unsteady… hm, it didn’t appeal to her appetite at all. And that was a rarity…
”Hm? What?” huffed the girl, only just realising she hadn’t been paying attention - ”Yeah, mostly fox… did the giant tail tip you off? If you can guess more about me than that, then I’ll be impr'ssed.” Waka’s grumbling was good-natured, but it was a bit hard to tell with her usual bored stare. ”I sound a bit younger over a radio, I think… or m'ybe just a bit lighter. You, though… you look like a cowboy and sound like one too. I thought you guys were meant to be in the Great Desert instead.”
While Grenn sat down, Waka would go back to leaning on his truck (which leant ever so slightly from the weight), listening quietly. ”Mm. I agree. I just hope we get 't over with before any surprises get the chance to sh'w up.” rumbled the girl, closing her eyes as she drank her own coffee… the canned stuff was never pleasant, but it was a lot better than nothing. She didn’t mind the cold, but she still wasn’t about to enjoy a blizzard. ”I got a glance at the gear they were moving earlier… looked like, y'know, science stuff. Nothing I’ve ever seen before. How about you, cowboy? You know anyth'ng about, um, science?”
…that was sort of a stupid question, even by her standards, but she wasn’t sure of how else to say it.

Grenn chuckled a little, it was not very usual to him but he seemed tosomewhat enjoy her company, "heh...to be fair it'd be hard not to, tail, ears....attitude..." He'd chuckle once more as he then sightd "truth be told i uh....never met any Fox Girl...."
After a little as he was drinking his coffee as if it was nothing he 'd hear her say he looked like a cowboy and he just stopped and stared at her "....are you sure you have your clothing Accurate...?" he kept on staring at her, if she looked at him for a little in the eyes she could feel most likely he was indid observing her, in unusual way, not in any bad one but she could feel also the atmosphere was definitely calmed down, judging especially by grenn's will to chat with her "also i dont sound like one.......dont think at least" as grenn kept on looking he thought to himself 'Huh....Hades...Thats a nice bloodcode...'
grenn just nodded in agreement towards her words about the mission as he then just layed down on the snow, as if it was seemengly nothing for him thinking it was kind of normal "oh uhm....no i dont but...well....kind of....there is one little thing but its not exactly....science..." Grenn seemed to be immediately regretting throwing the argument in as he just looked around and he just chugged down the coffee
As time was passing Grenn kept on seeming calmer and calmer to her as he simply got up and walked towards her offering a handshake "anyways, My name is Grenn....its nice to mett you finally" He would seem to have switched t oa calming smile, the one that would have made you feel secure and at peace.

Folding her arms both in reaction to the chilly winds and the remark on her race, Waka hesitated… well, he probably had good intentions, and she’d rather have the conversation than not. ”Hm. More cat girls now'days, I hear. I d'nno. I came from… elsewhere. But, well, I’m not an expert on foxes. I’m weird. Weirder.” She felt a bit uncomfortable. She wasn’t very good at talking about herself; let alone her race. Especially given she’d just about been kicked out of it. Plus the whole… Demon Mark business. H-Hey, didn’t he just say something about her attitude there? Well… she’d let him off, this time…
She wouldn’t let him off for critiquing her nickname, though! ”Yeah. Cowboy. Vest, fancy coat, crook'd tie. Trimmed beard. Grey hair. You look straight out 'f the desert. Coat’s prob'bly a little toasty, but that’s what they call ‘classy’ ov'r there, right?” Admittedly, she was kind of guessing – her only experience with that stuff was from books and movies, and she only had a few years of them too. ”I guess you don’t sound like one, though. I’ll give you that much.”
Alas, her attempts at making further conversation bombed – kind of as expected. She wasn’t sure how she’d respond to ‘You know anything about science?’ either. At first she thought he was protesting it by laying down, but… he didn’t seem pleased about the remark, anyway. Maybe she should just drop it. Yet… she felt like she wanted it off her chest. Then at least she could say ‘I told you so’ later. ”Right. Dumb question. But, keep'ng out of Capsule Corp business… wonder what they’re up to. ...Bah, sorry. Better not to know too much, right? Nev'rmind me.”
Maybe something about the cold was making her chatty… apparently, it was making her company drowsy, given he was rolling about in the snow! But, he was back up again, and giving an introduction, too. She wasn’t expecting it, honestly – in the past, she’d never bothered with introductions… outcasts generally didn’t like them. Not really a group who wanted to tell their life stories. ”Grenn. Right.” Of course, she wanted to ask about his surname, but, well, she definitely couldn’t talk on that front. ”Wakana. Wakana Waka. Second name’s shorter.” There was a sparkle in her eyes for just a moment; a rare flicker of emotion… she was awfully proud of her name. A good name. She took his hand and gave a lazy handshake. ”Yeah, you seem like good comp'ny. I’m not too good at small talk, so thanks for humour'ng me.”
Their moment was interrupted, though, by a crack behind them – a tiny bang, from the first truck; the one Waka had been working on. But, no sparks or smoke… all the same, Waka jumped to attention. Well, it was more like she dozily turned around, but that was about as swift or serious as she could get. ”Wires m'st’ve got moved by the wind… l'mme take a look.” Leaving big prints in the thick snow even as the blizzard piled up more, Waka stomped away with hands in her skirt’s pockets…
But, she found no trouble – it was all still hooked up. Glancing back to Grenn, she raised an eyebrow; before glancing about her hard work… the cables were still joined up, the engine was still going nowhere fast, the battery was still looking fine. She’d be able to jump start it soon enough. So, what had caused that sound…? Maybe that boss and his weird buddy were fooling around with her…
Unbeknownst to Waka, Grenn would be able to see what she couldn’t – deep in the distance, amidst the white, was a spark of red in the sky... barely visible through the blizzard, but shining like a star. A signal flare… and not coming from the trucks. They had company… for better, or for worse?

"well not rally how a cowboy looks i suppose but its close enough" as grenn and her were talking he would be seeming calm and tame, as the conversation kept going on and he heard her name Grenn would smile "huh...Wakana Waka....i really like it, has a nice sound to it" he d give a bit of a grin to her as he just kept on chit chatting with her "yeah i ts no pro-....Wait Humoring? o-oh im sorry i did not mean to joke on you heh...sorry if it gave that impression away..." Soon he heard the bang and looked over walking soon behind her in attantion as he nodded at her words and then saw the Light in the background his eyes would wide and pick her by the arm and move immediately behind the truck in the opposite direction of the flare as he then sighed and started to try and sense around the area to get who it was
"sorry fot it being ubrupted..be quiet i saw a flare in the opposite direction, its better to make sure we are not in shooting range....give me a minute and ill be able to tell you...." As grenn kept on sensing he would growl a little "ugh...damn it, it has to be some sort of gang or some crap...i sense bad auras all over the place...Its uuuh.....about 8 or 10" Grenn looked at wakana and sighed looking ready for a fight , but one where they will be taking the element of surprise "now....i kniw this is sudden but ill need you to be very very careful...and when they get here ill need you to attract their attention....allright? i know im asking alot already but trust me...i got something in mind..." Grenn mentally prepeared himself for a fight trying to suppress his ki just in case he was going to encounter someone else with who could sense, tho him not being able to control his aura too much.
She could feel an incredible strength, or well higher then any avarge person coming from Grenn as he was traing to suppress it, grenn just stood there still trying to sense to see if there were any more Ki's heading their direction a little after he looked at her and nodded ready for this, seemingly asking her back if she felt ready

The comment on her name made Waka a little bashful, though as usual it was just about impossible to tell with her blank expression – but, she did glance away a bit. Most people just teased her about the name… but, it seemed it had its fans! She wasn’t totally nuts. Or, they both were. That’d explain how they ended up on this job together. Tch. Even if they hadn’t made this stop, maybe it wouldn’t have been smooth sailing after all… or she was just getting paranoid. When she’d get to be such a deep thinker, anyway? Ugh. This was what she got for missing her second breakfast. Finally noticing the flare, Waka raised an eyebrow… her first thought was that it might have been their boss panicking, but from the opposite direction to his truck? It didn’t seem likely. ”Shootin' in a blizz'rd like this? I can’t see fifteen metres in front of me, much less shoot'ng range…” grumbled the girl, albeit still hunkering down next to the truck instinctively – for what good it was, given her sheer size. ”I don’t know if I can handle eight, ev'n with you. I’m not some… y’know, m'vie star.” Two was plenty for her… well, okay, once she’d handled five, but that was a one-off! They were all pip-squeaks, too… Listening to Grenn’s strategy – well, ‘strategy’ – Waka hesitantly nodded. She got the feeling he wouldn’t listen even if he refused, so… may as well play along. While she didn’t like to admit it, she was… rather good at attracting attention. ”Yeah, I can j'st play dumb. Don’t go getting yourself killed, okay? I’m not gonna take responsibility for you.” A bit brutally honest, but honest all the same. She wasn’t going to put her head on the chopping block for some random merc. For all she knew, Grenn could be doing work for the Northern Demon Kingdoms. She wasn’t putting her life in his hands in too much of a hurry, regardless of their rapport. She didn’t really want to put her life in anyone’s hands, frankly. Ever… While she stood up properly again and tried to look casual (about as casual as a 2-metre tall girl wearing a skirt in a blizzard could look), she was promptly distracted by the sheer power she sensed – that guy really was a Saiyan, huh? She didn’t think much about power or ki or anything, but she could definitely feel that. Aah, it kinda made her hungry… her stomach growled with frustration. D-Damn, she really should have had a second breakfast! Ugh. She was going to spend half her pay on dessert at this rate. Grenn wouldn’t be able to sense anymore signatures than the eight he’d noticed before, and it seemed either their power was low or was well-suppressed. For better or worse, they wouldn’t keep themselves hidden for too much longer… as Waka turned and gave Grenn a nod back, some colours stood out from the falling snow. Their grey suits of armour blended into the snow slightly, but the red icon on their chests definitely didn’t. Their gear looked like it’d been scavenged from Capsule Corp, and then rebranded… rebranded with a red ribbon logo, with a familiar ‘RR’ – at least, perhaps familiar to Grenn. Alas, Waka didn’t have a clue. Scanning through the snow with flashlights, they approached the huge fox confidently. Reasonably confidently, anyway; a few hesitated upon seeing her height, but they seemed to be focussing on following their captain’s demeanour – he was wearing a more noticeable red-striped helmet. In fact, with a closer inspection, their armour was a bit of a mess… they looked like they’d been put together from a variety of other sets, and some were quite damaged. Most of the squad had guns, but only energy carbines; nothing fancy at all. “Lady. The driver, I assume. Is Cedric on the scene? Let’s make this transfer quick.”Waka merely sighed. Well, being called a ‘lady’ was an improvement to how she was usually treated, but… it looked like this job was about to get more complicated.

she saw a puff of black smoke as he silently appeared behind the whole group and slowly very slowly made his way to the last one behind all of em, hoping she d shut up and geet the talking up without looking there he managed to grab the last one in a hold silently tho his rifle which wasnt on safe fell and shot up making almost everyone turn around as he was holding on hostage and he looked at all of em...
one of the group quaked in fear as he treabled "he...h-he...that Monster!! Its Him Kill HIM! Kill Him for the love of god"He immediately shot towards him as grenn realised who that man was as he was the ex co-leader scientists for the experiments he recieved as grenn let the guy go ducking away from the shot and charging like a blood thirsty beast at the Man "i...i...I WILL SLAUGHTER YOU FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO ME YOU DAMNED PIG!!!" As the cientist shot an other shot which bounced off him and grenn then grabbed hima nd the entire team was ready to either open fire or fight hand to hand
Grenn literally lifted this mad with an arm and tightened his grip around his neck so strong his fingers begun to benetrate the skin and break the scientist's neck.
She could see the Anger and Complete Ruthlesness grenn was having for this man, she probably would have gotten it was for good reason...Eventually Grenn threw him off knocking the man momentairly out as he roared and rushed at the others, grabbing one of them and flaying him towards the other and then throwing him with immense force roaring like a Bloodthirsty beast at the others revealing all the power that he had , this was obviously the signal to start fighting considering grenn tanked a shot to the arm soon after [1279] [4044/6000]

Suffice to say, Waka was pretty baffled to see smoke in the midst of the snow – did something really make the engine spark this time? Or was that flare burning out already? She turned around to check on the truck, earning a frustrated sigh from the captain addressing her… only to be whirling around all over again when the sound of an energy blast rung out. All eyes and all guns were on Grenn… even Waka had to raise an eyebrow. At least, until one of the unlikely squad started babbling.
‘Monster’, huh…? She’d heard some bad rumours about Saiyans, but this was new to her. She continued to watch the action play out… but when Grenn lashed out and howled, she was on the defensive as well. Was this guy for real? She shouldn’t have been worried about whatever deal the boss had in mind – ‘cowboy’ was the real loose cannon! Still, she couldn’t help but be a little awed as her supposed comrade send the man flying, armour and all. This little squad didn’t seem too well prepared… not that she thought anyone could be too prepared for whatever this was.
As Grenn went all-in, Waka considered her options – she could just toss him under the bus, as she’d warned, but… these guys didn’t seem like the paying type. More the ‘shoot in the back’ type. She’d had a bad feeling about this, anyway, so this was as good an excuse as any to get moving. Grenn didn’t seem like he was in any state to make a plan, so it was up to her. Oh well, she was good when she had to get a bit scrappy. She’d never be caught dead in a suit, so this was more her style.
Snatching a gun from the man Grenn had thrown, Waka didn’t bother touching the trigger (it was too small for her…), instead grabbing the barrel like the handle of a club. Not ideal, and not at all dignified, but at least her first target couldn’t complain as she less-than-elegantly slammed his knees with it and sent him face-first into the snow. A few energy blasts flew around her – more in Grenn’s direction, but she’d made her allegiance clear now. She didn’t waste any time, simply clubbing the man’s head with the gun’s stock. The helmet rang out with the hit, but she didn’t look at the results. She didn’t really want to get shot just to find out.
Dashing through the snow with speed unbecoming of her size – especially as she bound on all fours to manage it – Waka headed for the second truck instead of the one she’d been working on; diving into the driver’s seat and igniting the engine as swiftly as she could. The truck roared to life; headlights shining across the violent scuffle in front of it; a bitter silhouette in the snow. Shift into gear, handbrake down, but easy on the accelerator in this snow… Waka went through the instructions in her head. She just had to hope Grenn caught on quick enough. Well, she could always just leave on her own otherwise, but she’d feel a little bit bad about it. Tiny bit. ”Don’t you let us down too, number two… well, let me down.” Geez, now she was talking to a car…
As the lights shone across Grenn and his fight, things were getting worse – while three were down and Grenn was bearing down on a fourth, the captain was trying to organise the others, and was actually succeeding in spite of the awful conditions. Three of the members spread out, making a curve around Grenn, trying to force him to focus on them one at a time while leaving him open to all of their guns. And it’d only get worse – their boss finally arrived, pistol in hand, with Cedric and his energy shotgun… and suffice to say, they were planning on honouring their deal with the Red Ribbon renegades; not with their freelancers.
“G-Give it up already! You brat! You – you Saiyans are all the same, as usual! I would’ve just paid you like usual if you’d kept your cool, you dumbass!” snapped the man, waving his pistol at the raging Saiyan; clearly nervous in spite of their numbers; “That’s no monster – it’s just another punk! Put him down already!”
Watching the drama play out, Waka cursed under her breath as the truck slowly revved to life. ”I always pick the worst side… whatever, whatever; hang in there, monster boy… just a minute…” grumbled the girl, awkwardly battling with the stick-shift with her size. It was still far better than a car, but it still wasn’t very dignified for her…

before the guys pointed the gun at him he had killed the scientist and slowly recovered and if she looked at him she could see a radical change and looked around seeing the man dead and looking at the 2 pointingthe gun at him a little thrown out as he then realised and looked down deeply sorry for having brought Wakana into all fo this as he then was attacked by to mans at the same time and now that he had regained his mind he would have easely dropped one of them to sleep with an elbow to the face and looked at the other which tried to punch him before grenn just blocked it and kneed his stomach dropping him down.
there were 4 more to go which attacked him all at once as he then dropped them both to Sleep with repeated dodges and swift hits to the neck to drop them out, leaving as he then heard his words and looked at the man
"Brat.....Brat.....BRAT???!!! I AM 40 YEARS OLD AND I WAS KEPT IN THAT HELL FOR 30 YEARS!!! HOW DARE YOU CALL ME A DAMN BRAT AFTER WHAT I VE SUFFERED!!!"
Grenn was soon rushing with unseen speed as he was being shot at with various Ki Shots from the Shotgun and was just deviating them as he then tried to connect with a first punch that missed and allowed a roundhouse kick to connect and Ko'Ed One of the last 3 , leaving only the man with the shotgun and An other Scientist "Leave.....leave before i gut you alive...." Grenn looked menacingly at them hoping they would get the message and understand that they couldnt win
if wakana now looked there of the 8 Mans only 2 were standing up, one was dead and the others just knocked out Grenn now seemed Much more in control of himself as if he snapped for something very vary bad in his memory

Grenn’s speed and sheer efficiency in crippling the squad was outstanding – though their gear wasn’t even comparable to Capsule Corp’s standard issue, it was still enough to leave some serious scars on any Earthling. While she’d been busy wrangling with the truck’s gears, that second furious tirade got her attention again; and she watched as the Saiyan cleaned up, seemingly with utmost ease. She’d heard they were good in a scrap, but this…? Even though these guys didn’t seem too skilled, she’d probably have been in that scuffle for a long while if she hoped to come up on top. Her Majin powers were strong, but they weren’t exactly made for crowds.
As Grenn threatened his employer, the man raised his shotgun in return… but, it was trembling. Soon, he lost his cool; tossing the weapon aside in frustration and storming off. He turned briefly, to throw out just one more insult… but, he couldn’t do it; instead breaking into a run and vanishing into the snow. No doubt heading back to the last functioning truck. The scientist, on the other hand, darted the other way; considerably more composed about the situation. No doubt he’d have a lot to say to his superiors… assuming they had any. They certainly didn’t look too organised.
While she’d been expecting to have to charge in there and haul the guy into the truck, Waka settled for slowly cruising up in the truck and pulling up alongside him. Reaching over without a hint of grace, she awkwardly opened the cab door for him; ending up laying across the seats to do so… not quite a hero’s welcome. ”Well. No paycheck for us t'night, huh?” remarked the fox wryly, though her bleak expression didn’t remotely help to soften the blow. ”Look… I won’t ask. But if you want a ride back to s'ciety, then hop in. Otherwise, I’m not planning on sticking around. I don’t like the idea of having a body count on my reput'tion as an escort.”
Thankfully, the blizzard was beginning to calm a little, and they weren’t lacking in fuel – Waka knew this area pretty well too, having headed this way when she’d first come out of the Northern Lands. ”Better hope we can pawn this stuff off for enough to make this mess worth it. I don’t like the idea of having had my life on the line f'r free, p'rsonally.” grumbled the girl, more to herself than Grenn; ”We’ve got a few kilom'tres to the next fuel stop, and then a couple more before a scrapyard. I think I can get a deal there. Just… try to clean up all that blood before then. Suit yourself, but – I don’t like it. Ain’t a good look.”
Her expression finally changing to reveal a slight frown upon her usual apathetic look, Waka gave a slight sigh. This was gonna be a long drive. Well, at least she knew what Saiyans were all about now… damn, she really should’ve known this’d be trouble; there were so many signs. Maybe she was finally developing that ki sense people talked about. Ugh… if this didn’t pay out, she might even have to go hungry tonight.

He sighed and nodded getting up and looking at her after listening to her and just looking down seemingly about to tear a little "i-i.....im sorry..." Grenn looked mortified as he looked to the side and closed the door then hearing her words once more and lookingat her "i-i'll pay for the whole thing......i suppose i do owe you an explenation dont i....." he made himself strength and he just took a deep breath releasinga huge sigh
"when i was younger...about 30 years ago.....a few scientists from the red ribbon...probably rogues um...k-kidnapped me and implanted me a parasite w-which mutated me.....im not really much o-of a saiyan anymore and well....the guys was right ....i-im a monster..." He would have tiered up a little as they were going through and driving "i dont know where i live or who i was all i know is that my name is Grenn and i have a damn something in me which makes me need to drink blood to not go crazy.....i do not take blood usually from well....anyone aside some passing animal who could be already doomed to die..." Grenn just looked mortified but the explenation was indeed needed to let her know he had a damn good reason to lose control over there as he then just looked at her and bowed slightly
"P-please forgive me to have dragged you into all this mess.....if i knew who he had a deal with i-i would not have accepted....i-im sorry..." He would then just look throug hthe window on his right side hoping she would forgive her for all of this not sure of what was now up ahead of them he would wait a fair bit before saying one more thing "hmm....hope we'll work together again.....in a different situation where im not in front of one of my kidnappers....I Promise ill make it up to you Wakana...t-thanks for not leaving me there like most would do...." he would sigh staying silent from then looking outwards into the snow.....calmer now that he had brough out everything and felt much lighter...still hoping to possibly be friends or well, not be hated...
