Percy stretched, cracking her back with a sigh as she lowered herself to the ground, sitting underneath a large tree. "Thank you for shading me." She smiled up at the tree and leaned back against it gently. Percy still made a point to connect with nature as much as possible since her banishment, and since taking up residence in the Zen Estate, she was feeling closer than she had in years. Percy would tend to the garden with Misaki and it brought her a sense of peace.
She chuckled quietly and pushed her traveling cloak off of her shoulders, enjoying the beautiful day. "I don't remember the last time I could do this for pleasure rather than necessity..." Percy mumbled to herself, reminded of the past few years spent sleeping under the canopy of strange forests, the stars obstructed by the trees above, no matter the weather.
But today, she could reconnect to the earth, feel the sun on her face, and listen to the sounds of the forest.

"Damnit, why isn't this thing working?!" He yelled out, while smacking the scouter with his right hand, before tossing it to the ground. Zukkah was standing at the tree line, staring down five other saiyan warriors who seemed to want him dead for some reason. Either way, he needed to get away and eventually find a way back to his bar. Lottus was there bartending and the damn scouter was not working, so he was unable to tell his fellow comrade of what predicament he had gotten himself into.
With a slight grin on his face, the shirtless warrior gazed upon the saiyans in the distance, before turning and running through the forest. It wasn't long after Zukk made his way into the forest, that the sounds of buzzing came cruising close by, then the sound of an explosion would come from his right. They were firing ki blasts at him and he knew that he had to speed up, or his life may end by these saiyan rebel punks.
As the saiyan came to a small opening within the forest, he stopped dead in his tracks and scanned the area with both eyes for a potential place to hide out. There was a large tree and a small figure sitting under it. This caused the saiyan to cock his head a bit, rather surprised to see someone out there all by themselves. "Hm, not good." He muttered under his breath, before launching through the air, jumping in long strides to make his way closer to the figure.
With the ki blast settled for now, Zukk made it to the tree and spoke to the female before even introducing himself. "Listen, you have to get out of he--" He was cut off when a ki blast was heard coming straight for his back. The saiyan quickly spun around and conjured up a round ki shield, about the size of his entire body, and made sure that the woman was able to receive cover behind him. "GO! NOW!!" He yelled out,, as he stepped forward and watched as the five saiyans rushed into the opening within the forest.

Well, it was a beautiful day. Percy's enjoyment was cut short by the distant sound of explosions. She shot up from her comfortable position, preparing to defend herself from whatever caused the explosions. "Getting really tired of people trying to blow me up, if I'm being honest..." Percy muttered to herself, looking around her. The explosion seemed to have happened a fair distance away, but she remained defensive; the birds were fleeing, and the cause of their flight was heading her way.
And, unfortunately for her, he seemed to have lost his shirt.
"H-Hey! Does everyone around here always have to be in some state of undress?! Wh----" Her eyes grew wide as she saw the man provide cover from the ki blast. As he yelled at her to escape, she turned to run, but stopped soon after. For some reason, this stranger appeared to have gotten on somebody's bad side. What was his deal? Really, it was none of her business. She should get out of there. But for some other reason, he stopped her from getting blown up. So he couldn't be that bad. "Why aren't you coming?! They'll kill you!" Percy shouted, peering past him as the man's pursuers caught up. She lowered her voice, but remained loud enough for him to hear her. "Come on!"

Even though the woman was trying to speak to him, Zukkah kept his focus on the five saiyans stampeding in their direction. He knew that if they did not get going soon, there would be a much larger risk of losing their lives in the process. The saiyan just grunted in anger, before dissipating the ki shield and turning toward Percy. "There is no time for questions, let's get the heck out of here." He called out to the woman, before looking over his shoulder to see just how much time was left until they caught them.
With a single step forward, Zukkah launched off the ground and burst into a sprint, running through the dense forest, hopping over tree trunks that fell over from weather or other types of natural causes. The saiyan had no idea where he was, but he kept his eyes on the female as well, making sure that she would not fall behind to be slaughtered by the rebel warriors.
As they made it out of the forest, there was a nearby town just a few miles of their current location, so he slowed down to a jog and began to head east. "All right, we definitely have some time to get even further ahead. It seems they don't know how to fly, or they would have caught up to us within a short time." He said to the woman, as he continued to jog along the dirt path that would eventually lead them into one of the city's in the western lands.

"Fair enough," she responded, mostly speaking to herself. Percy ran after him, looking behind at their pursuers every now and again, wondering quietly how she managed to get herself into situations like this. It must have something to do with the land she was in, because up to this point, her travels had been rather uneventful. But perhaps it was because she had settled down for more than a few days time. She kept up with the man, though not without difficulty, and followed him out of the forest. Any other time she might have been taken aback by the idea of people knowing how to fly, but she'd seen so many strange things since arriving that nothing really shocked her, so she assumed this was probably a pretty normal thing for people to do here.
As they slowed down a little bit, she let out a breath she didn't realize she had been holding. "So, was there any particular reason you're being chased, mister...?" It occurred to Percy that they hadn't introduced themselves, but considering the circumstances, it hadn't seemed important at the time. But now, Percy found herself morbidly curious about this man and his current predicament.
