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

Aelith hesitated, she didn't know how to answer. Surely she didn't want to hurt her new acquaintance 's pride. "It's probably a good number of your species. I don't really know... Some aliens are born with high power level, like the saiyans..." she quickly objected when the human said he could take on the Torian.

"I know you are tough Maren. But don't start fights here. It's dangerous."

The scanning was complete and they were locked up into their new cells while the scientists decide what job each of them should be assigned. Aelith managed to squeeze herself through the crown to be in the same cell as Maren.
 
"Come on, he is a cat! I bet I could take him down a notch or two" Maren having expected that Aelith was going to agree with him on the fact that he could try to fight the Torian, the human had almost forgotten that he and the girl were not friends as much as they were simply two people who had been put together by unfortunate circumstances. Sure, they were being relatively friendly to each other but if Maren had come across Aelith back on Earth he would have robbed her without a second thought.

Trying not to let his anger get the best of him though as Aelith seemed serious when she said starting a fight now would be dangerous, Maren decided to leave it be for now as him and the rest of the new slaves were herded into new cells. Trying to keep his mind off the fact that he wanted to show his worth to the jerk from earlier who could have easily killed him, the teen was a bit surprised when Aelith managed to make it into the same cell as he and several others were put into "I didn't think I was going to see any more of you" tilting his head a bit as he went to plop down against a wall, Maren was quiet for a few seconds before speaking up again "I didn't get to say this earlier, but t-thanks for earlier...from stopping me from doing something dumb back there again".
 
"I just thought you need someone to talk to. The guys don't seem to like you." Aelith explained her intention with a smile. She sat next to him.

"I'm sure you can beat him if you train yourself though. But I doubt they'd let us train." 

Then, some guards came into the cell and gave each of the prisonets inside a bread and a small bottle of slightly green water. It was definitely not the kind of water one would see on Earth.

Unknowing to them, the ship was heading to it's next destination steadily.
 
"Yeah...I don't like them much either" Shaking his head as he was secretly grateful that Aelith was willing to continue to be by his side, Maren had been convinced that the girl was going to leave him the first chance she got to avoid getting involved in the trouble he had already caused. None of the other alien's around him seemed to really bother with talking to each other, so what was making this particular girl so willing? Whatever it was, Maren was more than happy to accept her companionship as long as it lasted "your pretty alright though, for a chick".

Smiling a bit to show that he had met no harm with his last statement, Maren was about to ask Aelith a little about herself just as a few guards returned to the cell and began to hand out unnatural looking bottles of water and some kind of food he had never seen before, bread being a rarity back on Earth due to the lack of crops. The teen not being one to look a gift horse in the mouth though, Maren was more than happy to take his own  despite the water's odd color.
 
(Sorry I m busy working on a DBZ comic so I can't post fast xD)

Aelith took her portion of food and looked at Maren. "At least here they care to give us food." She took a bite of the bread casually. "Though I wonder what kind of job would they give us.."
 
(It's alright, take your time xD If I may ask, what is it about??)

(And shall I make a small time skip? ^~^ )
 
(It's a Raditz and Goku comic haha. I will show you the link when chapter 1 is all done.

 If you can, do a few hours time skip. I actually think it will take around a week or a month to get to that new planet and so the low power level slaves will be assigned some work on the ship.)
 
(Awesome ;) I love those kinds of strips. I will do that though, it should work well!)


Most conversation between the aliens in the cells having died down now that a few hours had gone by, most of them seemed to be finally sinking in the fact that they were now likely never going to make it home, some of them not even having one to return to due to their respective planets being destroyed or simply too far away to even think of going back. Even Maren, who had been acting up earlier had quieted down and leaned his head against a wall that he sat near, his thoughts being on what his parents and friends likely thought of him missing. They probably still expected he would return at some point...of course, that expectation likely wouldn't likely last much longer though once a few days went by and it was clear he wasn't coming back.

'This bites. Why was I so stupid to let my guard down back there? If I hadn't been stupid enough to daydream I would have seen those idiots coming a mile away'

"Get up! Single file like usual and keep it moving".

Maren being snapped from his thoughts as he heard the door of the cell open, a group of the same aliens as earlier walked into the area and ordered the new slaves to wake up, a few who had truly been dozing off quickly jumped awake as they knew that seeming lazy was likely going to end up with them being offed. A couple of stronger looking guards lingering behind the group this time, Maren couldn't help but feel a bit intimidated as he stood up and began to follow the other slaves out of the cells, him trying to stay secretly near Aelith as she was the only one he knew in this still unfamiliar place of oversized monsters and strange faces. Even someone from a backwater planet like Earth knew that it was good to have friends in prison and high places.

"To keep you out of trouble you will be each given a job respective of your power level" A green horned, tall alien speaking back to the group as they were led down a hall, he intentionally neglected to mention that all new slaves were chipped to prevent loss and to keep track of where potential troublemakers were at. It made the process of knowing which slaves died, were killed, or were simply lost much easier than simply trying to remember who was who "the stronger of you might just be good enough to be guards someday if you prove yourselves. The weaker? Well, It's my guess that you will either be cleaning the ship or just be useful enough to be target practice".
 
Eventually, Maren and Aelith were the ones with the lowest power level and the smallest looking so they were given cleaning tools. Aelith was indifferent, at least she wasn't going to be a target practice. 

"Now you two, I expect the west section pristine clean in an hour. You must  clean the floors then each of the bed rooms. Got it?" The guards that led them there ordered before lraving the two in the hall way.

The west section was the living quarters of Frieza's soldiers. There were many doors on both sides of the hall ways. 

"... Looks like lots of work..." Aelith sighed.
 
Maren looking more and more pissed by the hour as it was clear his power level along with Aelith's were the weakest on the ship, the human had always felt himself to be pretty strong back home and wasn't readily willing to accept the fact that that was no longer the case. Sure, he wasn't the tallest out there nor was he the most muscled but Maren was convinced that he had more willpower than any of the freaks on this ship combined ten times over. There was no real way for the unfortunate teen to prove his 'fact' though, his incident with the long haired Saiyan earlier having shown he was mostly just talk.

"Do they really think we can get all this done?" Muttering under his breath as it was explained that he and Aelith were to clean more than what a group of ten could probably do in a day, the human wasn't really taking any of what they were told to do seriously as he looked at the broom he had been given with a small smirk, him pointing it at Aelith like a mock sword "I'm surprised. With all this tech they got around here they still use regular old brooms like back home".
