Spike and Trixie, of the Ginyu Force
The Treck to Namek
Previous Chapter"...oh come on," Recoome complained "You can't be serious,"
"I am,' Guldo snapped back as the rest of the Ginyu force laughed at him "My home planet still to this day has my favorite cuisine. Trixie prefers her home planets food too,"
"Yeah," Jeice cut in "But Trixie's entire race is vegetarian, and not many others races are, so most planets have entire venues she can't partake in,"
"That said I think Banna had some of my favorite fruits," Trixie cut in.
"Oh, those super sweet Black cherries were to die for," Ginyu agreed.
"Honestly I don't think I have a favorite," Burter decided after some thought," seems kind of dangerous to grow attached to a planet when Lord Frieza might just blow it away if he feels like it,"
"True, "Spike and Jeice agreed.
"Long as it tastes good It's my favorite" Spike decided, before the Ginyu's could continue contemplating their favorite dish from the planets they have been to Spike spotted their first stop.
"Frieza planet 79 incomings," He said, ending the topic of food.
"Prepare for introductory poses," Ginyu commanded "formation Number 1!" The Pods shot into the landing pads and after a moment opened, the Ginyu Force all jumped out and struck their introductory poses, Calling out their names as they did so. The Force all stood in silence as a few lower-ranked Frieza Force members all stared at them in silence.
"Greeting," Ginyu said as he stood upright "I would like to speak to the commanding officer of this Orbital base, while I do so my team members would greatly appreciate some food and drinks.
"Yes Sir Captain Ginyu Sir," The troops all said in salute. "Right this way sir," The remaining Ginyu Force members all walked away from the landing site and made their way to the eating area since all Frieza bases had the same base design.
"So," Spike said as they walked down the hall in with the shortest upfront and the tallest in the back to keep the entire force visible from the front, "we gonna let Guldo get away with his comment on his own planet having the best food?"
"Oh shut up," Guldo snapped back "A Lizard that eats rocks has no place to judge me on my tastes,"
"Last I checked your planet has a delicacy that's literally a giant boiled Maggot,"
"It tastes delicious," Guldo defended "If you cowards would just try it,"
"Presentation matters," Jeice cut in "I don't care how tasty it might be, it's literally a giant swollen Maggot on a plate,"
"I'll have you know that Recoome is no coward," Recoome added "I tried it and I can say with confidence, wouldn't recommend it," The Members of the Ginyu force continued mocking Guldo for his tastes all the way to the cafeteria.
"So," Jeice said as he took a seat between Recoome and Burter "Think the captain will do it?"
"Not a chance," Guldo replied casually "Lord Frieza would see it coming a mile away and kill him before he could even finish saying it,"
"I keep telling the Captain," Spike said as he bit into a chunk of meat "If he really wants to...do that thing he's been planning to do, he has to wait till Lord Frieza is alone and asleep, although personally, I think he should go for King Cold, he may be a little up there in the years, but he and Lord Frieza have the same power level, and King Cold is known to be less than aware of his surroundings,"
"Shut up, talk about something else" Trixie suddenly hissed, Guldo suddenly started in the middle of an improvised sentence.
"...I may be short compared to the rest of you, but Spike is short in comparison to his own race,"
"Oh, you wanna go time boy?" Spike demanded "I may be short but I'm more than twice your sorry power level,"
"Big deal," Guldo shot at him "What was your unique power again? Or right, teleporting things within a hundred meters of your current location, how impressive,"
"I also breathe fire," Spike snapped back, smoking coming from his maw, as Spike and Guldo bickered a handful of Frieza force soldiers who had been the cause of Trixie demanding a change of subject arrived at the table.
"It's an honor to have you here with us," one of them said with a respectful bow "I am Sorbet, please should you need anything don't hesitate to ask for it,"
"We're good," Jeice replied waving him away "Just waiting for the Captain to get some replacement Scouters for Lord Frieza,"
"Of course," Sorbet said as he backed away "I understand you're all very busy, I'm so very sorry to disturb you," The Ginyu members watched as the interrupter left them be and went back to eating and bickering. After a moment Trixie leaned over and knocked Guldo and Spike's heads together. Burter meanwhile smacked Jeice on the back of the head
"Hey," They all snapped angrily.
"How about we don't publicly talk about the captain's mutiny plans?" Burter hissed irritably "especially when that public is a part of Lord Friezas army,"
"Jeice started it" Spike whined.
"You responded," Recoome countered.
"I can feel Guldos eye juice on my head," Spike declared in an attempt to derail the conversation.
"Well I had to feel your cold slimy scales against my eye," Guldo shot back.
"Who you calling slimy you four-eyed toad!?" Spike demanded as smoke began billowing from his open maw.
"Fall in line," Ginyu called out, all force members immediately snapped up straight in their seats and saluted as they called out as one.
"Deepest apologies Captain," The force quickly continued eating as Ginyu joined them at the table. "So, the old slimy scales fight hu? Who spoke up first?"
"It was me, sir," Jeice replied without delay "Ready for punishment, sir,"
"After this Mission Dinners on you," Ginyu informed Jeice curtly "Now eat up team, It's another 4 straight days of travel to Namek,"
"Understood Captain," The Ginyu's replied with gusto before chowing down, Spike and Burter getting into a speed eating contest while Recoome taste-tested a few meals that were labeled as vegetarian before passing them on to Trixie upon them passing the inspection of having no meat hidden in it," As the Ginyus enjoyed their feast Jeice entertained a few of the local soldiers as he drank as he told stories of some of the Ginyu's homelands.
"-and as time went on Buter slowly became faster and faster, as he would be met with a harsh beating should he ever be late for even the slightest, reason, of course, one day he did his chores so fast his parents beat him under suspicion of having cheated his chores by paying someone else to lend him aid, not to long after that his planet was invaded by The Captain, who destroyed one city before he and I noticed Buters blinding speed as he saved a few people from the wreckage and tried to get them to safety, took a few hours to catch him, but pretty soon we convinced him to join up in return for the protection of his home planet, I was only a young boy myself at the time mind you so-" Jeice laughed as he told the stories of his crew members and regaled them as heroes for willingly becoming monsters to save their friends and families.
Ginyu suddenly stood up after nearly an hour of partying and called out "Alright Team, our pods have been cleaned and fully stocked, T-Minues ten minutes before take-off, finish your stories, your meals, and move out. The Ginyus all saluted and Jeice wished his audience a good day, even trading one of the ladies his scouter for theirs as a kind of keepsake.
"Oh, She was cute," Spike chuckled as he and Burter smiled at Jeice "You gonna call her up after Namek?"
"Maybe," Jeice replied with a shrug "But that's in the future, for now, her you go bud," Jeice passed Burter a Large Soda, who took it happily.
"Look at that, paying debts," Burter chuckled as Spike in turn gave him an apple juice. "That's not a soda," Burter noted.
"And we never really made a bet, be happy I gave you anything," Spike shot back as they made their way to their pods.
"Guldo," Trixie called out as she picked the little green man up "You got something on your face, hold still a second it's about to drip into one of your eyes," Trixie wiped her teammate's face who patted his forehead.
"Did I get it?" he asked before Recoome appeared with a wet napkin and dapped the spot
"There you go bud," Recoome tossed the towel aside "Don't forget your drinks, the water in the pods always tastes funky after the third day,"
"Oh, shoot," Guldo froze time and after a moment returned with drinks for the group. "Cheers,"
"Oh, Cherry," Trixie smile "Thank you Guldo," The trio returned to the Pods, where Spike and Jeice were helping Burter load up his soda into a panel built into the side to store cold drinks.
"Remember," Ginyu called out "Any Soda or snack is not to be eaten until the end of the thrid day, we all remember that week Burter forgot to top his cup,"
"Lucky I didn't mute him," Jeice muttered.
"I did mute him," Spike added before adding in a mocking tone "Oh, can't we just stop at base 108? It's only half an hour away from here, I'll make it quick," Spike shook his head "Learn to navigate man that base was 4 days out,"
"I made a small mistake," Burter snapped back.
"More like you rushed off needlessly," Trixie chuckled back as she loaded into her pod, Burter muttered as he loaded in and Ginyu spoke over coms "Everyone stocked up?"
"Clear," All the Ginyus responded.
"Then set the provided coordinates to Namek!"
Author's Note
so just a quick heads up, this story will be going from the Namek/Frieza saga and ending just before the three-year time skip for the Androids. The Android and Cell Sagas will be a sequel, the Majin Buu arc being the third story, and so on and so forth.
Although I suppose the real question is...Am I gonna go down the path of Super or GT?
