I just want you to know that I was originally only going to try that on Raditz alone. But then Taeto sort of aggro'd Momo so it became the attack you see in the post instead. My deepest apologies for liberties taken, but in my defense I was basically killing off Momo so... exception? He's basically just pulling a Chiaotzu and dying on his own terms. I don't expect the attack to kill anyone, or even cripple them... but maybe some visual battle damage so Momo's last act isn't completely worthless? I'd rather him go out like a boss rather than a punk.

@TheForgottenArc@geminironin
Again, I am deeply sorry for taking a few liberties. I just wanted to write Momo out and Yang in in one fell swoop. I swear this is only time I'll ever do something like that in the RP. Promise.

Oh and for the record, Yang does not have a tail.

The monkey man made a grave miscalculation. He got cocky and assumed the pink creature was dead. It was understandable though, as pretty much any other creature would indeed have died. But Momo lived, the ribbons of his body writhed in midair, some of them being flung from the monkey man's arm. But not all of them, one stray ribbon managed to cling to the young Saiyan's shoulder. And it writhed more angrily than others. Even as the Saiyan arrogantly charged at the other, the pink remains of Momo's body seemed to dissipate into microscopic pieces that flew after the last remaining ribbon, too small for the naked eye to see. Even the Scouter would detect no power level, not from disembodied ribbons of pink and gooey flesh. But when the younger Saiyan had gotten close to the other, Momo sprung his trap.

The truth was, his body had been regenerating all this time. He had to use some Ki to speed it up, but he regenerated just enough to morph his body into an elastic chord of sorts that proceeded to ensnare the two Saiyans. Then one end of the chord morphed itself into Momo's head who glared with absolute anger and hatred at both warriors, "Monkey Men pick fight! Monkey Men hurt Momo!" his Ki rose with his words, probably reflected in the Saiyan's scouter, "Now Momo MAKE YOU DEAD!" and all at once, his elastic body exploded. Every ounce of Ki and even life force was poured into the angry act. At that final moment he was probably much stronger than he was previously, at the very least he was going to make God bleed before he died. One last act of sheer defiance and willpower before the Majin died, for real this time.

The crash site looked all too familiar. The shape of the crater was nearly identical to the one outside his home village. But unlike that site, this one still bore the spherical shape of a vessel. It perfectly matched the description Nam had gave of the first one. There was no mistaking that this was indeed a Saiyan spacepod. A cloaked figure had ventured close to the vessel, even going so far as to place an outstretched hand on the object before retracting it quickly. From under his hood, the cloaked individual jerked their gaze skyward. A spiked level of Ki, and it wasn't terribly far away either. The way Ki felt when in battle versus resting was like night and day to this particular person. Whoever the Ki belonged to, they were obviously fighting someone. But for the life of him he couldn't figure out who. It was like whoever the person's opponent was had no Ki whatsoever. Strange, but there was no time to ponder over oddities.

The figure, who had been previously walking on his journey, suddenly lifted up off the ground. It was slow at first, but it picked up speed into full-fledged flight. The cloak he wore fluttered harshly in the wind as he flew forward, on a direct trajectory toward the source of the rising and falling Ki. He normally didn't like announcing his presence in such a way, but the figure was short on time. Whatever this apparent battle was about, it could be over soon and he needed to reach the Ki before it could vanish from his senses. After a moment, a battle did indeed come into view. The cloaked figure looked down and observed the tailed woman as she violently beat her opponent into the ground. What would have normally been a critical blow turned out to be less so for the opponent, who came back with a violent kick of his own. It was at this time that the cloaked figure noted that the man was the one who seemed to possess no Ki. All the Ki he could sense was coming squarely from the woman.

I have to step in before she can be killed! The cloaked figure dropped straight down, putting himself right in between the combatants, and even raised his own Ki before the explosive wave of his Shougekiha burst forth and - while non threatening at his current level of Ki - would at least push the two apart and hopefully interrupt the conflict. The figure's attention was mostly on the woman, but he did make sure to always be listening for movements from her opponent. Even if he had no Ki, that didn't mean he wouldn't make noises when moving or attacking, "Forgive my intrusion." said the figure in a shockingly polite tone, even offering a bow of greeting to the woman. After this he lifted the cloak from his body and dropped it to the ground. This revealed his full form to both individuals. He took a few steps toward the woman, reaching into his one-armed Gi and retrieving a piece of a paper. He held the paper up for the woman to see, it turning out to be a photo of a man with a tail just like her own, "Have you ever met this man? Please tell me."

@Double Hopefully you can do something with what Taeto did to Momo. I know you're having trouble with getting rid of him.

@Renny

You know he's just gonna regenerate right? No Majin in the history of ever has ever been one-hit-killed before. It'll take a hell of a lot more than that one attack to end Momo... damn it.

Yang

Name: Yang

Age: 17

Sex: Male

Race: Earthling (Half-Saiyan)

Appearance:


Personality:
Usually a nice enough kid, and well-mannered to boot. Also has a bit of a pacifist streak, almost always attempting to resolve conflicts in a non-violent way as opposed to picking fights. According to him, his study of martial arts was for the purpose of finding inner balance and peace, him actually having no interest or desire to get stronger especially if its for no reason other than its own sake.

Power Level: 400, but that seems to fluctuate depending on his emotional state.

Abilities:
Zenkai Boost ~ Despite an admirable attempt at pacifism, Yang is still half-Saiyan. This side of himself allows him to grow stronger after recovering from near-fatal injury and battle fatigue. Any full-blooded Saiyan will immediately notice, however, that the boost itself appears to be watered down a bit compared to the boost full-blooded Saiyans receive.

Saiyan Rage ~ This trait appears to be unique to halfbreeds like Yang. If pushed too far, he can snap and seemingly skyrocket his power level for a very short time until his emotions have calmed down again. Supposedly this has something to do with mixing Saiyan strength with Human emotion, but the true origin and nature of this ability is largely unknown.

Transformations: None for now.

Techniques:
Shougekiha! ~ Otherwise known as the Explosive Wave, it's a simple technique where the user unleashes explosive Ki in all directions for a short radius. It's ideal for when one is surrounded by multiple opponents in close range.

Renzoku Kikoudan! ~ A barrage of Ki bullets fired rapidly at the target.

Chou Ryuuken! ~ Also known as the Super Dragon Fist, it is a simple-yet-powerful three hit combo while the fist is charged with Ki. The final hit unleashes the Ki in the shape of a chomping dragon's head, which was where the technique's name came from.

Chou Tenkuu Pekeji Ken! ~ Also known as Super Cross Arm Dive. Having learned the original variation from Nam, Yang invented this variation by utilizing flight to gain more height, while also infusing his arms with Ki to maximize the impact and damage of the hit should it connect.

History:
About 18 years ago, a mysterious object crashed onto the Earth. The location was remote, however, out in the desert where few would notice it and fewer still would spread word. It was spherical in shape, appeared to move like a vessel of sorts. But it was also heavily damaged, as if it had been shot out of the sky in some great battle out in space. The occupant, a man with a tail, sat unconscious and bloodied, his alien armor cracked and damaged, whether from the crash or some previous battle none could say. The man would have died that night, but by a chance a young woman from a nearby village was brave enough to go near the site and discovered the injured man. She dragged him back to the village where she and her elder brother nursed the stranger back to the health.

This took time, time the stranger used to ask questions of the girl who rescued him. He questioned why she would do such a thing for someone who could just as well have been a threat to her. Her response surprised him, she said that she shouldn't need a reason to help someone in need, doing such should just be the natural response. As the man healed, he talked with the girl some more. He told of her of his origins, and of his proud warrior race. As the village had no advanced medicine or machines, the healing took several weeks, months even. And during that time the Saiyan man and Earthling woman developed feelings for one another. Just as he was fully healed, they shared a single night of passion. After that night, the Saiyan spent a short time repairing his vessel, saying that he needed a deliver an important message to his home planet and its King. Before he left, however, the Saiyan named Orka promised that after fulfilling this mission he would find his way back to Earth and reunite with the girl. He never returned.

But from that one night spent with Orka, the girl - Yin, gave birth to a baby boy. She named her son Yang, and she and the rest of the village quickly noticed that the boy had been born with a tail much like his father's. But then the boy saw his first full moon and transformed into a massive beast that went on a rampage. Fortunately, Yin's brother was a prominent martial artist and was able to stop the monster by cutting off its tail. But the damage had been done, and in the chaos of the attack the boy's own mother had been a casualty of his transformation. There was debate about what to do with the boy, but Yin's brother - named Nam, refused to throw the child out under any circumstances. After all, he was at that moment the only family the boy had left. And so the village kept the boy, Nam raising him and even training him in the martial arts. Yang's Saiyan blood allowed him to quickly surpass his uncle but the youth never ceased to have nothing but the utmost love and respect for the man who was not only his master but his father figure as well.

Now, at age 17, Yang has learned the truth of his origins. While out training outside the village, he stumbled upon the place where his father's ship crashed. He was told everything, everything except for the truth of his mother's death, even Nam couldn't bear to reveal such a bitter truth to the boy. Yang expressed interest in seeking out his father, and Nam allowed him to leave. So with nothing but the clothes on his back and an old photo taken of his father and mother the morning he left for his home planet, Yang set out to find someone, anyone, who could tell him about the tailed man in the picture.

@Reflection I've had a few thoughts, but I can't really decide which ideas to keep and which to discard. Like, here's a quick list of concepts to give an idea of what's going through my brain:

1. Earthling/Human that trained under Son Gohan. Since Goku never showed up it stands to reason that Grandpa Gohan never died. As such it sort of frees him up for virtually any kind of backstory. Ranging from him being a kind old uncle to the character or maybe just Miyagi-esque friend and mentor and nothing more.

2. Earthling/Human that is part of a group called the Galactic 100. They're basically like the Galactic Patrol, but as their name suggests there's exactly 100 members, each one representing a different planet. This one is fun but I'll probably not go with it, since the whole concept will just sort of lose all its meaning after the Frieza Arc and everything goes back to being Earth-based.

3. Earthling Half-Saiyan. I'm not entirely sure if Half-Saiyans are even allowed, so I'll probably scrap that element if that turns out to be the case and just have him be pure Earthling. This one would be an orphan that was raised in Nam's village, and actually trained under Nam himself as well. As for the Half-Saiyan part, well, I would borrow the Galactic 100 concept (or at least Galactic Patrol) and use that as a way for his Earthling parent to have met a Saiyan and eventually marry them. If I do go this route I'll include a bit where as a baby he was born on a ship that fell under attack by the Ginyu Force. His parents would have managed to get the infant into an escape pod and shoot it out into space before they were wiped out by the Ginyus. Since Planet Vegeta is no more they send the child to the planet of his other parent, Earth. The escape pod crashes in the desert and the baby is taken in by Nam's village. Or, if I scrap the Half-Saiyan bit, he'll just be a regular Orphan that was found abandoned in the desert and, again, taken in by Nam's village.

DBZ: The Sagas of The Z Warrior

@King Cosmos Well, it was either going to be that or I would just have him stumble on one of the spacepods, hop in out of curiosity and accidentally send himself into space where he'll surely just end up on some other random planet never to be heard from again.

@Harlequ Of course.

@Renny Right now I'm still stumped about what to do with Momo. He's honestly become kind of a chore to write for. I almost wish I could scrap him and go back to the drawing board but I know I can't.
