THE MACARENI SIBLINGS!
MERUS SHOWS OFF HIS SKILLS!
PLANET JUNG
???: STOP IN THE NAME OF THE LAW!
The mounted law enforcement of Planet Jung was no match for a rapidly moving train. Inside the train were the Macareni Siblings, Penne, Ghetti, and Pasta
Ghetti: That was the last of 'em, Big Bro!
Pasta: Oh? The mounted forces didn't put up much of a fight!
Inside the train were two workers, held captive
Ghetti: QUIET, YOU TWO!
Pasta: Once we sell off this cargo, we'll be rolling in dough
Penne looked out the window, seeing the Galactic Patrol ship
Penne: BIG BRO! LOOK!
Pasta: The Galactic Patrol. Should've known. I'll shoot 'em out of the sky, keep an eye on the captives, Ghetti
Ghetti: Got it!
Merus opens the hatch door of the ship. We all look over the edge, seeing the trains cargo, shiny blue crystals
Merus: So, they're after the Blue Aurum
Goku: Blue Aurum?
Jaco: A fuel source for all sorts of machines. Like how on Earth, you've got Sky Gold, I guess
Caulifla: Looks pretty valuable. But I sense there is a downside.
Merus: Indeed, Son Caulifla, in the hands of criminals, Blue Aurum is dangerous.
Jaco: With that much Blue Aurum, they could make a planet-busting bomb!
Merus jumps down, landing right into the pile of Blue Aurum.
Merus: Stealing a whole train's worth of Blue Aurum. This is their most audacious caper yet!
Merus suddenly, almost ultra instinctively, dodges a blaster bolt.
Y/N: Whoa! He's fast!
Merus turns to face Pasta Macareni
Pasta: If it ain't Merus! It's been too long!
Merus: Pasta... I ain't punching out until you three are locked up in Galactic Prison
Pasta: Whoa there. That was just me saying "hi." I would never go toe-to-toe with you.
Merus: Then drop your firearm!
Pasta: Sure... Hmm?
Pasta looks behind him, eyeing a sign indicating that the tracks would change. He smirks, a small energy ball appearing on his finger, he seemingly infuses his gun with the energy.
Merus: Hurry up!
Pasta throws his gun up high, it bounces around, landing on the coupler of the train. He snaps his finger, the gun exploding, breaking the coupler
Goku: Whoa!
Pasta: PENNE! OUR FRIEND IS CHANGING TRACKS!
Penne Macareni leans out the train window, stretching out her arm like a Namekian and grabbing hold of the tracks lever, flipping it. The trains change directions, Pasta and Merus going opposite ways. Pasta reaches onto his back, pulling out a shotgun-like ray-blaster. He aims and blasts the tracks in front of Merus
Caulifla: That prick has some clever tactics.
Merus jumps off the moving cart, activating his jet boots, trying to stop the Blue Aurum from falling off track
Merus: Agent Jaco! Requesting retrieval of the Blue Aurum
Jaco: Roger that!
Jaco jumps down, using his own jet boots to fly over to the Blue Aurum
Y/N: So that is how those guys fly around.
Vegeta: M-MERUS! HE'S GONE!
We all look to where Merus once stood, he was no longer there.
Y/N: H-how did he move so fast?!
Caulifla: There he is!
Merus ran along the tunnel above the train, front-flipping off the tunnel and landing on the front of the train, inside, the Macareni Siblings were gone
Worker: They already made their getaway!
Jaco: AGENT MERUS! THE CARGO IS GONE TOO!
We look up, spotting the siblings flying off in their ship
Caulifla: I got 'em
Caulifla flies off, flying right in front of the Macareni Sibling's ship, stopping them in their tracks
Caulifla: NOT SO FAST, BOZOS!
Pasta: SHE'S WITH THE GALACTIC PATROL?!
Penne: S-SHE CAN FLY?! NO FAIR!
Caulifla: Caught 'em, Merus
Merus: I appreciate it, Son Caulifla.
I look at Merus, in his left hand was one of the ships engine cables
Y/N: He sabotaged the ship, ensuring they wouldn't get far, even if Caulifla didn't join in.. Stopping the train took priority so he could save the conductor. H-how did he have time to sabotage the ship?! How could I miss that?!
Caulifla rips open the ship's door, the three siblings already with their hands up.
Caulifla: Try anything funny, and you'll regret it.
Jaco flies up
Jaco: Move it along, criminals!
TIME SKIP
The Macareni Twins were locked up in the ships containment chamber
Jaco: That's what you get when you tangle with us Elites!
Caulifla: You didn't even do anything.
Merus: Good job, Son Caulifla. You did well in capturing them
Caulifla: It takes a criminal to know a criminal.
Merus: Excuse me?
Caulifla: I used to be a leader of a gang on Planet Sadala, we were a group of criminals, ransacking innocent folks for their belongings... but Y/N showed me a different path... and I hope that maybe helping you out... will hopefully forgive me of my sins.
Merus nodded his head in an understanding manor
Y/N: Agent Merus.
Merus: Yes?
Y/N: You could've stopped them sooner, couldn't you?
Merus: I beg your pardon?
Y/N: You sabotaged the ship, and yet I never actually saw you do it. My eyes don't lie, you're hiding your true power!
Merus: Hardly! Yes, I wanted their ship too, so I let them flounder a bit longer, but hiding my true power?! No!
Y/N: I assume you aren't capable of capturing Moro on your own then?
Merus: I'm afraid not. I may be the number one in the Galactic Patrol, but Moro is a whole different league! His power is nearly limitless
Goku: You mean he keeps getting stronger and stronger?!
Merus: Yes. Meaning if we don't capture him soon, things will go from bad to catastrophic
A loud beeping came from the cockpit.
Merus: A report?! From where?
Goku: Report?
Jaco: From another squad
Irico: Kusaya Squad was out scouting, and they got a lock on Moro's location!
Vegeta: About time!
Merus: Passing through Sector KT40. He didn't get as far as expected.
Y/N: Yo, Jaco. What way is Sector KT40?
Jaco: A-about that way, why?
Y/N: Alright. Let me do my own search!
Jaco: Search?
Vegeta: We can sense ki if we know where to look. He may be able to find Moro's.
I put my fingers to my forehead, sensing for anything. Suddenly, I began to hear the noise. It sounded like.... screaming?! Men, women, and children, screaming in terror. I lock onto Moro's ki, and suddenly, he turned to face my direction
Y/N: HE NOTICED?!
I fall backward, landing on my ass, I was sweating bullets
Caulifla: Y/N?!
Caulifla runs to my side
Vegeta: D-did you find Moro?! Let me try-
Y/N: NO! DON'T!
Vegeta: What?! Why!?
Goku: Son, are you alright?!
Y/N: He knew!
Caulifla: Knew? Knew what? I haven't seen you this scared since fighting Jiren!
Y/N: He knew I was searching for him!
Vegeta/Goku/Caulifla: WHAT?!
Vegeta: To think... he can do that! What about his ki, did you feel it?
Y/N: I heard... screaming... millions of souls, screaming out in terror, begging for their suffering to end..
Jaco: YIKES! Spooky way to describe it!
Merus: Moro is known for absorbing life energy of planets and turning it into power. In that sense, you felt all the souls he's feasted on.
Vegeta: What the...
Merus: That explains how he's survived for so long
Vegeta: How many people?! How many people has this bastard killed?!
Merus: More like whole planets! He's killed so many there is no point to try and count.
Caulifla: This guy is a special type of evil...
IN DEEP SPACE
Cranberry piloted a ship, and Moro sat in the back. Moro looked off in the direction of the energy searching for him
Cranberry: W-what is it?
Moro: Someone is seeking me...
Cranberry: Has the Galactic Patrol found us already?
Moro looks around.
Moro: In my time away, life has managed to grow and spread across the universe...
Cranberry: True enough, you've been locked up for Ten Million Years, remember? Y-you okay?
Moro held his head in pain
Moro: Searching alone has taken me to my limit. My magic powers are in a pathetic state
Cranberry: Well, we're nearing our destination. So just hand on a little longer
Moro: Indeed. I can hardly wait.
