Disgraced beginnings: A.U DBZ ( potato/hairball)

The Torian looked at Maren with the expression as if he was greatly offended by the human. Had the brat stupid enough to not see his badly beaten up body. Though, for unknown reason, unlike his sarcastic and arrogant manner he had shown earlier, he made no attempt to retort. He only sat down at a corner. After a few minutes, he looked up. His expression was hidden in the darkness, only his cat eyes glowing brightly.

 "Three saiyans alone-" He raised three fingers. "Annihilated everything on my planet in a week. Know your enemy. With that attitude you're gonna get yourself killed before you can even break those chains. Just jumping at them won't work."
 
Once having thought he knew everything there was to know about the world around him, Maren had been until today unaware that there were other species and inhabited planets besides his own, the thought that aliens might exist having been just a silly story that had no place in any sane person's mind. Now that he had been proven completely wrong though and then some, Maren had little choice but to listen to the Torian nearby as he wiped away the remaining bit of blood on his forehead, a deep cut remaining once it was relatively cleaned.

"Well, what the hell am I supposed to do? I can't just stand there and let that guy call me a midget" Shaking his head as he sighed and tried to avoid feeling any type of sympathy for the Torian as he explained that his planet had been wiped out in just over a week by the Saiyan's, Maren didn't even know this aliens name...how could he feel this bad over someone who probably thought he was just some cocky brat? Still, though, it wasn't as if the teen wasn't already missing his own planet, the thought of it actually being destroyed not being something the human wanted to get into his head "I bet if these chains had been off I could have done more than just some wimped out kicks".
 
"Yes, you could." The bug-like alien shrugged. "But I wouldn't try."

"Say, you manage to hit him some more, then what?" The Torian snicketed.

"Then die a horrible death?" Someone laughed.

"Is he still on about that?" Another voice came from a nearby cell.

"Face it kid, with your current strength nothing you do will make a change"

One of the girls in Maren's cell walked over. "Stop picking on the new guy, would you?" She said in annoyance. The girl was pure white with long blue hair. She leaned to look at Maren's injury. "May I?"
 
Unused to not being able to stand up for himself physically as everyone around him seemed to want to make some snide comment about his strength, Maren could only try and not let this get to him as he remained near a wall and kept his eyes glued to the ground, thoughts on how to get out of this situation beginning to fall into his mind as he knew there had to be some way out of this cell. Sure, he had been pretty stupid until now and had picked a fight with someone who could have easily killed him, but at least he was learning who and who not to argue with around this place.

Only bothering to look up when he heard someone walking over to him though, Maren seemed to be confused when a rather strange looking girl with long, blue hair came to look at his injuries as he shifted them out of her sights, his eyes showing a complete mistrust of nearly anyone around him right now "I-I can look after them myself" shaking his head despite needing the girl's help, Maren winced as he knew his injuries were probably worse than they looked "Just go, I don't need anyone".
 
"S...sorry." The girl retreated her hand in embarrassment. She stood there awkwardly for a while then sat down next to him but still stay far enough to not invade his personal space. The bug alien decided to lay down and take a nap. The noises subsided around them.

Then, the ship slightly vibrated. There was a loud sound coming from beneath them. The engine was starting. The spaceship took to the sky smoothly and when it was in the air, the engine became quiet like it was never there. Had the prison cells had any wimdow, they would be able to see the ship leaving the atmosphere. 

"Looks like we're finally moving..." The girl said with a sigh. She turned to Maren. "We'll be stuck here for a while, mighf aswell get to know each other? I'm Aelith. What's your name?"
 
Near immediately realizing the mistake he had made with brushing off the seemingly kind alien before him, Maren hesitated as he saw how embarrassed the poor girl seemed to be because of it, him not knowing what to say as he simply remained by the wall and tried to think of something to cheer the stranger up. Even if he was a hard ass, Maren didn't try to intentionally be one to most...it was simply a set personality that tended to get him into unfortunate situations like these, the teen let out a sigh as he could soon feel his cell rumbling from the ship taking off for an unknown destination.

Not really wanting to start a conversation with the Torian or any of the other creatures around him, Maren was still somehow a bit relieved when the girl who had spoken to him before suggested they get to know each other, him nodding a bit despite feeling even she was probably stronger than him by this point "Maren, the names Maren. I..i'm really sorry about earlier too, I didn't mean to snap at you".

(Do I sense a bit of friendship in the future? :p)
 
"I understand. Many of us used to be like you. Young and fearless." Aelith smiled faintly. "I hope you will forgive them. They all had lost their hopes, some even had their loved ones killed before their eyes. Now they think anyone who want to escape are stupid..."

"But I do hope you don't try to attack them. They won't spare you next time. Especially Frieza, if we ever meet him."

(Yes haha btw I think we should draw pictures of the chatacters for reference)
 
(Geez >< I completely forgot about that! Yeah, I will make a sketch and have it up later for ya.)

"Yeah, i'll forgive them. There isn't much reason not to" Maren shrugging his shoulders as he really didn't see any reason to truly hate the Torian or the other aliens who had mocked him earlier, it was obvious that all of them were in not so good straits and they each had a reason to be angry because of it. It wasn't as if Maren had seen any of his loved ones killed or had seen his home destroyed...he had simply been captured by a group of idiots who were looking for easy money while he had been in the wrong place at the wrong time "Personally, I think they are stupid for not wanting to escape".

Shifting in his binds as he tried to get rid of them stiff feeling they gave him, Maren tensed as he once again heard that damned name of 'Frieza' again, him still not getting why this guy was such a big deal. The human felt like he had heard it a hundred times before but no one had really said just why they were so intimidated yet out loud "hey, uh..I don't know if I should ask this, but who exactly is this Frieza everyone keeps talking about?".
 
"You don't go out much I suppose?" Said Aelith. It was surprising that by now there were people who hadn't heard of Frieza. "He is a galactic overlord. He and his men go around taking over planets, and sometimes destroy them. All the strongest fighters work for Frieza, even the saiyans. He is probably why your planet is in such a bad state."

"I saw the buildings. They must've been pretty before." She put her arms on her knees and rested her chin on them.
 
Most human's not bothering to come up above ground much less think of traveling to other planets, even Maren hadn't really thought of the fact that there was a reason Earth looked the way it did and that it hadn't always been a nearly barren wasteland. The dry deserts and dunes were simply an accepted fact of life for the teen up until this point, even if he did occasionally drift off in thought of how much easier it would have been to not have to survive on what little life, deer or otherwise, was left back home.

"Wait, you Saw Earth??" Tilting his head confused as Aelith claimed she had seen the buildings back on Earth, Maren didn't seem all as interested in the talk of Frieza as much as he was about what the girl had seen, "d-did they find anyone else?? a sense of urgency in his voice as his heart sped up with the thought of having another human around, Maren could only hope that he wasn't going to be 'alone' for much longer.
