"I'm home!" Okara shouts as he walks in, to his mother cooking dinner.
"Ah sweetie welcome home, how did today's job go?"
Okara pulls out the 16 Ryon and 32 Coins.
"This should keep us good for a few moons doncha think?"
"If we can use it sparingly yes. I do believe it would. Now come and sit, dinner is almost ready."
Okara set his earnings in a clay box and took off his Saiyan armor, allowing him to sit comfortably.
"How are you doing mother?"
Okara asks as he watches his mom sit with a bowl of meat soup and bread.
"I'm okay Okara, really..."
"Are you sure? I mean isn't it tough to keep thinking everything is fine?"
"Okara please, let's just eat..."
It got quiet, as Okara and Cress ate. Moments pass as they finish their food and Okara's left in irritation. To where he gets up and puts his armor on.
"W-Where are you going Okara?"
"Out for a bit..."
Okara walks out without saying another word. As Okara looks left and right, he heads towards the nighttime markets where most of the Saiyan settlement hangs out at this time. After a 10-minute walk, he finds himself the only one without a friend to hang out with. Everyone around him is chatting it up, messing around with each other, and having a good time. He even saw familiar faces. Such as Olave and Olive, four years ago they had a match against each other in the redemption rounds.
Both knocked each other out in sync on purpose so they'd both be recruited into Elite trials. Then there was Totoma hanging out with Rabi and their family. Okara was supposed to fight Totoma in his redemption match, but due to his father's disappearance, Okara never showed up that day. Allowing Totoma to win by default and even get recruited into the elites just like Rabi. They eventually patched things up and found themselves to be a great pair of siblings.
As Okara walked further in he noticed Chaya, Dive, and Mayze hanging out. It seems Dive and Mayze had made it into the elite's, but Chaya failed the elite training. That didn't stop Dive and Chaya from getting together though. Next was Rota and Matoto who had gotten together recently. But they didn't go very far after the tournament.
They both ended up low class. But that didn't bother them. Then lastly Okara's eyes met his, Crimson the one who passed both the tournament and the Elite training like it was nothing. He was unbelievably strong, but that wasn't all... However, his friends, Root, and Pasley met up with Rota and Matoto and it appears that Crimson and Pasley had become a thing as well. It seems so much has happened within the time frame that Okara missed out. Making him feel like an outcast. As Crimson breaks sight with Okara, Okara sighs and continues walking around alone.
Without looking where he was going Okara eventually bumped into someone by accident. Still distracted by his life, he didn't react to it and kept walking. But was instantly stopped by the one he had bumped into.
"Hey! What the hell is your deal huh?! You got some shit against me or something?"
Okara snapped out of it and looked up to see himself face-to-face with another Saiyan. Then to his right a Saiyan woman. One he'll soon never forget.
"Hey, Avod let him go it was an accident."
"If it was an accident he should be saying sorry! Well, punk! Was it an accident!"
Okara was staring at the Saiyan woman without thinking, causing Avod to get pissed. Instantly Avod decks Okara in the face, forcing Okara to the ground. Avod proceeds to stomp him more.
"Well apologize already! Or are you too busy drooling over my woman!"
Avod persisted over and over with the kicks and stomps. People watched as they walked by. Okara could barely see as he squinted but he watched as people laughed and pointed, or just watched as he got beaten.
"Come on! SAY SOMETHING!"
"Avod! That's enough!"
The Saiyan woman grabbed Avod's shoulder and pulled him off.
"Cassa! What the hell are you doing! I'm not done with this creep!"
"Avod, just stop! He's had enough! He can barely move as it is!"
Avod and Cassa look down at Okara who was barely able to keep his eyes open.
"That's what you get punk... Watch where you're going next time, and stop staring at people, weirdo."
Avod turned around to continue walking away, as Cassa looked back once more before looking forward as Avod put his arm around her.
"That guys gotta be feeling that.", "Just look at him he's worthless.", "Man, I'm glad to be an elite people don't mess with me like that."
Others continued to talk about Okara as he struggled to push himself off the ground.
"Do you resent them? Do you wish you could make them repent?"
A voice whispered to Okara as he slowly looked through the crowds of people staring at him. Once again the hood figure appeared their yellow eyes glaring at him, as the moonlight reveals their blue skin and orange glowing veins along their cheeks.
"Yes..."
"Do you truly wish for such an outcome? Is your heart truly into it?"
Okara began thinking about his past. About his father, about his mother and her pain. About the people who hurt him. Then something began connecting inside of him. Like portions of power awakening from just pure feeling.
"Yes... That's it. Feel it coarse through you, Okara."
Okara's hair covered his eyes, his hands and knees on the ground sweat dripping from his face. Then from the sides of his mouth steam began to show. The people around him watched in confusion.
"Is he going Oozaru?!", "But there isn't a full moon! That's not possible!", "My scoper is going insane! What's he doing?!"
Okara's head quickly jolted up revealing his angry face, steaming mouth, and orange glowing eyes.
The hood figure smirked under their hood and turned to walk away.
