Baga wondered how long it had been since his departure from Planet Vegeta, though it was a foolish question. Rugu, his brother that was with him, would likely agree. They had touched down on too many planets for it to matter anymore. They treated planets like pit stops, taking what they needed before moving further away from their home planet. Imagine the ridicule, Baga thought, if other saiyans knew we travelled the galaxy not as conquerors, but as scavengers.
Not that it was difficult to imagine. The same old story played out in his mind. Rugu had failed to dispatch a Saibaman, and by extension, so would he, being the weaker of the two. It had been their last chance in a string of failures to pass their combat evaluations. They were assigned to another planet to work as laborers, so instead the two brothers chose exile by stealing two pods, choosing for forge a life among the stars. Nobody pursued them. Baga was never going to see his childhood friend Okra again. She would remember him only as a weakling.
Baga tapped on the console to slightly correct the approach of his pod, to the unknown planet with a beige and blue swirl pattern, in a low orbit to track life forms and power levels.
A loud proximity alarm blared as a laser shot from the planet and glanced Baga's pod, causing it to tumble and careen towards the planet's ozone layer. Baga's mind gripped with panic as lasers continued to fire at him, piercing holes in his pod and ozone air hissed through them. The metal door was ripped from the frame and Rugu yanked him out, and moments later, Baga's pod crashed in an open desert.
Rugu touched down on the ground with Baga handing over his shoulder. Several soldiers slowly advanced towards them in a horizontal file, covered head to toe in what appeared to be desert survival gear, carrying energy based laser rifles and sabers at their belts.
