Saiyan stowaways on the Ark

"Because my parents and I are sick! So we were all taken to the mine and treated like animals by the Ursus people!"

"Because he was a patient, his father died! His mother died!"

"Because I was a patient, the first person other than my parents to hug me was seriously injured!"

"Because I am a patient, countless people like me are suffering the same pain!"

Tomat covered his ears to stop the terrifying decibels from tearing his eardrums, but Frostnova's repeated accusations still reached his ears clearly.

“But right now, you’re both disgusted with your own patient status and grieving for the misfortunes of other patients.” During Frostnova’s pause for breath, Tomat finally voiced his opinion on these words. “Since you can say what injustices they’ve suffered, you must also know in your heart what the ‘justice’ they deserve is, right?”

“Of course, that’s why Yetis exist, and that’s why the Reunion Movement exists.” Frostnova gritted her teeth, calming herself down from her earlier excitement, and continued to answer.

"Then you think that gentle methods are unreliable, and that if the persecuted people violently resist and become a 'symbol of misfortune' in the eyes of their perpetrators, even if others hate them, they will stop persecuting them out of fear." Tomat made good use of the Terra history that the operators had crammed for him. "Just like the Sarkaz, right? People reject them, but they are not persecuted so severely. After all, they are not easy to bully."

"...We tried to find a peaceful path, but we all realized that path didn't exist. In the end, the only path left was to 'make them fear the infected.'" Frostnova's resolute tone was unwavering, and her memories drifted back to everything she had seen on the Ursus snowfield. "But mere fear is not enough. Only powerful 'terror' is reliable; otherwise, we will only be annihilated."

“So, you’re being led by a leader who instigates you to kill, spread infections, and attack cities, 'spreading fear' and 'showing power,' and you think this leader can ultimately lead you all to accomplish the great task of overthrowing the world.” Tomat recalled meeting Talulah in the square. “But you know yourself, don’t you? At least the vast majority of the so-called responders are just venting their own discontent and selfish desires, not fighting for justice. It’s true that injustice needs to be addressed, but abandoning justice in the process of addressing it is just another form of injustice.”

“Okay, I know you have many reasons to resort to this injustice, such as ‘they were unreasonable first’ or ‘why should we be reasonable when we’ve been wronged’, but none of that matters.” Tomat stopped Frostnova from retorting. “I’ll just ask you one question: even if you know you’re in the wrong and still resort to this method, do you think your leader is confident enough to make others submit to your injustice?”

Frostnova felt that Talulah's Reunion Movement was very strong, but when Talulah decided to attack Chernobog, Frostnova did have some doubts about the question Tomat had raised.

While the Reunion Movement boasts a large following and numerous members, including both powerful individuals and armed forces, the vast majority of its members, as Tomat pointed out, have not aligned their ideologies with the organization's goals. Their actions are not driven by a targeted call to action or a revolutionary agenda, but rather by the rage of mobs unleashing their desires. And now, they've launched an attack on a city, specifically against the powerful nation of Ursus… It's impossible not to be suspicious. However, Frostnova hasn't proactively raised these concerns with Talulah.

After all, she also felt that it was impossible to expect everyone to have lofty aspirations, and that it was justified for the infected to retaliate against the injustice they had suffered. As long as it helped to achieve the goal of liberating the infected, she did not care about "others' backlash against this injustice" even if some unethical means were used. In other words, she had already prepared herself for the backlash.

As Tomat said, she too became one of those blindly incited, rather than boldly questioning the generals.

“You’re just trying to sway me.” Frostnova’s previously angry expression calmed down, and she even revealed a cold smile as she said this.

“Before I could sway you, you were already wavering.” Seeing the other’s expression, Tomat continued, “It’s much easier to incite those who have suffered injustice to vent their grievances than to get them to fight for a common goal. Your boss is using the former method, isn’t he? Some of them haven’t even suffered much oppression; they joined you just to take the opportunity to persecute others as they see fit. I’ve seen too many of these kinds of guys.”

“But I never believed Rhodes Island could do any better. Even though Talulah… has changed quite a bit from before, her methods are still effective. She has indeed rallied countless infected people, and regardless of their motives for joining, they have helped us achieve our goals. A mild pharmaceutical company is far less likely to bring hope to the infected than armed militants willing to use violence.”

She emphasized the word "曾".

"But who knew that a pharmaceutical company would be hiding someone like you."

Frostnova gave a signal, and the Yeti squad, which had been hiding in various places, no longer concealed themselves and gathered in the square.

“Then let’s see what they can do as patients,” Tomat said, looking around at the group. “How should you be treated? What kind of life should you have? And how should you change your perception of the word 'patient'?”

Thomas added:

"Besides, you wouldn't listen to me if I hadn't beaten you up before."

--------

This chapter is mostly just talk, so it might be a bit boring. Did the protagonist manage to land a big deal for Rhodes Island? (Just kidding)

Would you mind if there were a scene where Terrans (mainly referring to Rhodes Island operators) learn how to use "Aura"? The content in the previous chapter probably gave everyone a clue as to this intention.

Meanwhile, to prevent the original main storyline's fourteen-day journey from being too short, the protagonist's actions disrupt the pace of the integrated attack, making it less rushed. Afterwards, there will be a "high-intensity" daily routine that may involve many Dragon Ball references. If you don't understand them, you can ask. I will also include a brief explanation of the original work (I think everyone will understand the Ark references, since it's not like Dragon Ball that has become a relic of the past).

[Main Text] Saiyans, reporting for duty!: Chapter Nineteen: Tao Pai Pai-style Flight

Saiyans don't need skills like rhetoric.

After all, this is incompatible with their hot-tempered nature. Although there are many people in their tribe who are labeled as "powerless and weak-willed," these people are often just taciturn punching bags, doing logistical or scientific research work, and are often picked on and beaten up.

However, this does not mean that Saiyan warriors with violent tempers will get beaten less often. In fact, it is precisely because they are short-tempered and speak without thinking that they are more likely to make enemies with warriors of the same race or different races in the legion, which will then end in a life-or-death battle.

Leaving aside that narcissistic green toad, Zanpakuto, Dodoria, also the second-in-command of the legion, tacitly approved of this behavior, and since the Saiyans were usually under his command, bloodshed was almost inevitable. (Note *1)

Saiyans don't usually help their fellow Saiyans who are being targeted; they mostly just watch the show from the sidelines.

So Tomat used his rhetoric to repeatedly evade those big, clumsy legions who were deliberately picking on him "because they were Saiyans".

Whether it was humility or flattery, sometimes even bribery or promises, this ability was further honed when he was sent to other planets to carry out missions.

Even if the weak indigenous people fought against them, it wouldn't be beneficial for them to develop their strength. It would be better to subtly demonstrate one's power and "persuade" them to give up resistance—or at least make them realize that resistance would only make things worse. (*Note 2)

During this process, he encountered many organizations similar to the Reunion Movement. Some genuinely wanted to resist him as the invader, while others simply saw the crisis on their planet as an opportunity to achieve their own goals, targeting Tomat and then sending others to their deaths.

He wouldn't dare be so confident as to be able to spot something amiss immediately, but it was still quite easy to detect something unusual. Such organizations were often obstacles to his suppression of the entire planet, so they naturally had to be dealt with first.

The relatively intact target planet preserved by this method of processing allows Tomat to receive a higher reward, although it is still negligible compared to its actual selling price.

Of course, such maverick behavior and decent mission efficiency are not reasons for Frieza to let him off the hook, because what he wants are powerful warriors, not opportunistic jesters.

"Are you all sure you want to come?"

In the square, there were about forty or fifty Yeti members and a large number of huge war dogs that could be described as wolves.

"Wherever our eldest sister goes, we'll go. We didn't join Reunion just to follow Talulah."

Although the Yeti troops are uniformly dressed in snow-white cotton robes, their weapons still distinguish their respective units. The Yeti member who answered Tomat's question was wielding a long sword that was as tall as a person.

“The retreat order clearly came from Talulah. The plan to attack Lungmen is in full swing and is about to succeed. She has transferred the hidden forces here and left me here alone to stop your advance.” Frostnova explained to the Yeti members around her. “She abandoned me, and I didn’t believe she would keep you here either. My doubts have become reality, just sooner than I thought.”

“Next, you will be going to a place called Rhodes Island, where you can receive effective treatment, provided that you are willing to cooperate with the treatment.” Tomat stood next to Frostnova and continued, “The cost of treatment can be paid for with labor, and you will also be guaranteed to have enough to eat... The extra ten times the rations in the canteen will have a place to go.”

"May they have the water of life...

One of the Yeti members said something that lightened the atmosphere considerably.

The simple things that Tomat said did indeed touch their hearts.

Because all along, they haven't been able to get even these things.

Next, we will enter the transfer phase.

"You mean Rhodes Island is heading to Lungmen to provide support?" Tomat recalled what Frostnova had mentioned earlier.

"They may have arrived by now, but as for the Reunion Movement..."

Froststar looked at the already brightening sky in the east and deduced the approximate time and progress.

Two or three hours have passed since Tomat was discovered. Shattered Bones had previously notified that he was leading the target out of Lungmen and everything was going smoothly. Rhodes Island, which was providing external support, should not have arrived at that time. Subsequently, the soldiers stationed here by Mephisto and the Sarkaz mercenaries left, which obviously required some support. This may be a signal that Rhodes Island has begun to intervene.

"Let's not talk about the Reunion Movement, I don't care." Tomat interrupted Frostnova's thoughts. "It would be too much to ask you to betray someone who was your comrade just a few minutes ago. Tell me the direction of Lungmen, and while you're at it, build me an icicle, something like the load-bearing pillar of a normal house."

"...due east, about 140 kilometers away."

The other party made a request that seemed ambiguous to Froststar, but she complied anyway. As she pointed in the direction, she used Originium Arts to condense an ice pillar about two or three meters long and twenty or thirty centimeters in diameter.

Once her body recovers, simply creating a pillar won't have much of an impact on her condition.

"You're describing it so precisely, I might not be able to aim at it."

Thomas held the icicle by the base, weighing it in his hand, then tilted it at an angle, like a javelin thrower in preparation.

"Saw it?"

Froststar looked at him, who was facing due east and holding an icicle, with a puzzled expression.

Do the Yeti forces have their own vehicles?

“We do have them, and some people travel on Frostfang, which is no slower than vehicles.”

Thomas still didn't answer their questions directly, but continued to ask. The Yeti soldiers patted the white wolfhound lying on the ground, seemingly realizing that they were about to move.

"That's good. Frostnova and I will be waiting for you at Lungmen... ah, I should say Rhodes Island. Don't get lost."

As soon as she finished speaking, Frostnova and Tomat vanished from the ground.

Only the Yeti Squad's gunslingers, with their exceptionally sharp eyesight, could witness this bizarre scene:

Tomat stood on the ice pillar, Froststar tucked under his arm, and flew at high speed toward Lungmen.

"They said, 'Wherever you go, we'll go,' so it's best to bring you along."

Her rabbit ears were pressed flat against her head by the wind, her silver hair was disheveled in the wind, and as she looked at the dazzling sun directly in front of her and the increasingly clear Lungmen mobile city-state in her vision, only one thought came to her mind:

"Old man, don't come to Longmen."

------

Based on feedback at the end of the previous chapter, we understand that readers would prefer to see a story about Dragon Ball Saiyans x Terra's native world. Therefore, the previously envisioned storyline of "teaching the natives how to use ki" will not be implemented. In addition, we have included explanations of some settings and references from Dragon Ball as requested by readers.

*1: From Xenoverse 2, after joining Frieza's faction, players can learn by talking to either Sabo or Dodoria that Dodoria adopts a laissez-faire attitude towards his subordinates, while Zumbo manages them with strict rules (including dining etiquette).

"See people fighting? Ignore them, let them vent their anger. Anyway, the stronger ones will survive."

*2: From Xenoverse 2, this line has a certain probability of appearing when the player talks to Frieza:

"When conquering a planet, if the other side gives up resistance and is willing to submit, then give them proper treatment and let them know that we are here to do business."

Dragon Ball Super manga side story: "Criminals? What are you talking about? Our Frieza Army is a 'commercial organization that provides quality housing for homeless aliens,' don't compare us to those people in the Galactic Prison."

Frieza, a man who drives up the GDP of Universe 7 (?).

[Main Text] Saiyan, reporting for duty!: Chapter Twenty: Why are you wearing Integration's clothes?

"Why are you carrying me under your armpit?"

The entire movement was full of flaws, but Frostnova seized on the point that made her most uncomfortable. However, she wasn't foolish enough to sway and struggle at that height and speed; she simply remained motionless, like a captured prey.

"Because it would be too fast for me to fly, and I wouldn't be able to transport you this way," Thomas explained matter-of-factly, then countered, "Do you expect me to fly on your back?"

"Then you can't hold me... Never mind, now is more appropriate."

As soon as the words left her mouth, Frostnova realized that this idea was far more foolish than her current posture.

"Yeah, neither of us is happy with either position, so we might as well go with the current one."

The ice pillar carrying the two people sped towards Lungmen, where the Guard Bureau and Rhodes Island had already begun fighting the Reunion Movement.

When the giant ape uprising occurred, the Bonebreaker Operations Team, which had infiltrated Chernobog early on, was the first to act.

Their objective was to take away a female infected woman named Misha, who came from Ursus and was suspected to be the daughter of a scientist. Although there was no guarantee that she had any reliable intelligence, for the Reunion Movement, which had captured Chernobog, this level of possibility might be worth the risk.

The giant ape threw the Guard Bureau into chaos. The already chaotic slums, as the gathering place of the infected, were also the first areas affected. They scrambled to escape from the edge of Lungmen to the city center, hoping to find a safer place to take refuge, but they were all blocked by the Guard Bureau personnel who had sealed off the area in advance.

At this moment, the Reunion Movement, chanting slogans, appeared and launched a surprise attack on the Guard Bureau. The local infected responded automatically, taking the opportunity to break through the blockade and move towards the city. Some even took off the masks of the defeated Reunion Movement members, put them on themselves, and voluntarily became one of them.

Driven by their own interests, they are doing the same thing, and this temporarily gathered trend is creating even greater waves in Longmen city.

"Misha! Run! Trust me!"

A hoarse, unintelligible voice came from the gas mask. A small, thin figure, completely shrouded in black clothing and carrying a pair of Originium weapons resembling grenade launchers, stood in the dark, damp sewer passage. Ignoring the filthy mud that soaked the stockings covering his legs, he walked step by step toward a corner of the sewer.

A bear-eared girl with short white hair stood at the far end of a corner where the other party was gradually approaching. Behind her, she protected a group of ragged children. Although her body was trembling uncontrollably, she still spread her arms to shield the children behind her and said in a trembling voice, "No! I don't believe you... It's enough for me to stay here. I don't want to go to any 'better place'! Please leave..."
