Indie semi-selective Nappa

Literal months he’d stayed inside, refusing to come out unless there was good reason to. Saiyans and the cold were hardly friends and Nappa had been no exception to it. But now it was starting to warm up and he actually had reasons to not go absolutely stir crazy and become more agitated by being stuck in what he still considered a tiny space. For someone that had lived in space pods and on ships for years, it was kind of ridiculous.

One of the things on his list to go do when he could comfortably go outside was visit a certain... “friend”, as he would call her, as strange as that still sounded to him. Saiyans never had “friends”, there were comrades and then there were superiors and inferiors, sometimes mates if one was lucky. But never friends.

But this strange space sheep had managed to keep his anger down and actually be pleasant company for the majority of their interactions and he figured it was time to go see just what had happened over the season. Hopefully she hadn’t been killed by some hunter or something, humans were weird enough to do that, he’d come to find. Whatever.

Venturing out into the forest was nothing new for him, still being able to find his way through it with relative ease, having left his canines back at the compound, slowly making his way to her home.

With but a moment’s hesitation he slowly knocked his knuckles against the door, deciding to be... moderately courteous about this. Even if he’d still not been a big fan of clothing in anything resembling heat and had bothered with merely a pair of boots and shorts. Which probably looked stupid to the humans, but he didn’t really give a damn at this point.

By this point in time, he’d all but become used to weird timeline nonsense. It had been a... strange conversation and weird to wrap his head around, but in the end he’d heard weirder things and it wasn’t as if these humans had done anything to not confuse him. Their extent of knowledge and inventions were strange at points. And he’d, with grudging reluctance, give them that much. They weren’t stupid creatures and they certainly were tenacious. At least the ones he’d bothered to speak to for longer than a few moments, anyway, he’d probably punt others through walls if they were getting on his nerves.

That was the thing that had irritated him the most about humans, they tended to ramble on about unnecessary things and be entirely unable to get to the point without going around it in five million different ways. That was hardly his style.

But then again, the way he’d been raised had been to get to the point and give only the necessary facts. Such came with the training of a high-class warrior, after all. Which, irritatingly, seemed to give them the false impression that he was simple minded, hardly the case. Sure, he didn’t care to fuss about with unnecessary details, but the arts of war, tactics, among many other things that could be used to his advantage were anything but lost on him. Heck, he’d even easily get into a conversation about philosophy or sociology if someone really wanted to engage him on the topic.

Luckily the half-breeds, or at least Vegeta’s brood, seemed to be more along the lines of getting to the point. And that was one of the few reasons Nappa even bothered to deal with the spawn. The weird future timeline kid wasn’t really bad and brought up some interesting points from time to time. So he was no stranger to dealing with the kid when he came around.

Though he hadn’t caught hint of his Ki signature before he was in the building proper, how long had he been there? Huh.

“Casual visit or did you have something important to do for once?” There’s a faint, faint sarcastic hint of a tease in his tone. About as good as it’s going to get.

Sure, the arrangement had been just for the winter until it got warmer, but for whatever reason he hadn’t exactly... left yet. No one had really screamed at him to do so and it wasn’t as if he really was destructive. Honestly, he had no problems doing things if someone had the courage to ask him to do so, it wasn’t as if he’d bite their heads off or something. He’d even, mostly, kept out of the alcohol that wasn’t acquired on his own time.

With the nice weather, he’d merely kept on the ground proper, ignoring the constant whining and attention seeking from his tiny Pomeranian while his Doberman was more than happy to just curl up next to him and bask in the sun. That was how it always had been, the Pomeranian was high strung and a hellion while the Doberman? She just didn’t really care about anyone or anything unless it directly threatened her or Nappa.

Even during this time he hadn’t really... given much information on his past or anything that didn’t directly deal with Vegeta, seeming more avoidant on the topic than the basic information of what he’d been. Nothing about his personal life, nothing about his childhood, nothing remotely to give him anything past the facade of what might as well have been a royal babysitter and a royal of sorts in his own right.

And that suited him just fine, he never was keen on giving more information than necessary unless it was to poke fun or blackmail someone.

A low yawn slid past the hulking man’s lips as he stretched out on the grass, having decided that shirts were stupid in warm weather and that he’d at least wear shorts before someone yelled at him about modesty. That was the thing with the Saiyans, the majority just seemed to act like big cats in the sun. Nappa was absolutely no exception to that rule.

Going to do some stuff on here once I get done with work. Soooo.

Like this post for a starter with this giant nerd. If you want something other than dumb main timeline where he’s escaped hell and made a nuisance of himself to a geets household, then drop me a line. I love AUs and shit, so!

*Smol Vegeta sneaks up on Nappa with a razor, and climbs up him. When he reaches his head, he drops the razor* Nappa, what happened to your hair?

If you think you can sneak up on Nappa and climb up him without getting noticed, you’re absolutely and horrendously wrong, Vegeta. Though he is humoring it for the moment until he finally does or says something, shifting just enough to grab the runt from his shoulders to hold him in front of him. Yeah, he’s not even really trying to hold him in place, just sort of has him under the arms.

“All gone from the last time we went through this, runt.” Hey, at least he’s not angry about it, just sort of going with the flow. No, he didn’t miss being a babysitter, shut up.

[baldbara-blog]

Hahah, hero. That’s a new one.

“That’s more or less how full blooded Saiyan children act, we’re a warrior race. Children tend to not… have learned how to control the violent urges yet. And given how these brats look, it’s safe to say that’s the stage they’re at.” His tail unwraps from his waist, slowly flicking behind him in thought. No need to hide it from this woman, he can smell that traitor bastard on her, anyway.

“You have to lay down the rules, using violence if necessary. The prince is a little more difficult given he’s an entitled little shit, but I’ve dealt with that.” Hey, Chi, this is the asshole that raised the asshole prince, more or less.

[martialartsmama-blog]

“You expect me to get violent? With children?” Sure she sparred with her boys, but sparring was about honing in their skills and training their bodies. It wasn’t that violent. But she had noticed how most of the kids had been jumping at the chance to fight, having had to break up several little spats already. “This sounds awful, but do you think I should just let them fight each other so long as they don’t try to kill one another? Even though they’re tiny and probably not as strong, I still can’t exactly match them in strength.”

[baldbara-blog]

“No wonder human children are so weak. There’s a difference between being violent and laying down the rules and law of how to and not to act. Sure, you need a little physical force at times, but that’s nothing. Don’t tell me you’ve never done that before.” Not everyone is a Saiyan, Nappa.

As for the question, he merely raises a brow at her, slowly crossing his arms over his chest. So the brats were fighting, were they? “You may as well, they’ll figure out the pecking order between them soon enough and it’ll probably calm them down once it’s out of their system.” He has no idea if that works for human children, but he knows that’ll work with the Saiyan brats.

[baldbara-blog]

Oh goddess, what is even going on? Three tiny Vegetas, three. And this poor woman is dealing with a mess of them.

Yep, nope. He knows how awful this is.

“… You want some help? Unfortunately I know how to deal with that particular brand of brat.”

[martialartsmama-blog]

HER HERO.

“Just. Just tell me how to deal with them. They’re so weird and violent.”

[baldbara-blog]

Hahah, hero. That’s a new one.

( @iam-thehype jfc )

Yep, there’s the screaming of his name from his prince. He knows that too well.

“Yes, prince?” Goddess, he never thought he’d have to act like this again. He’s not sure if he wants to.

( @saiyangodbluevegeta​ I AM SO FUCKING SORRY FOR THIS. But he got mad. )

Who the /hell/ was this king imposter that dared to continue harassing his daughter in such a manner? Well, no doubt it was time for him to get involved in this mess before it went any further. He may not be of the royal guard anymore, but being the war adviser still put him in a position to deal with any acts that could be seen as treason to the royal court and the planet in general.

If he were going to go Oozaru, then he could follow suit. He may be getting older in years, but he was sure he wasn’t rusty yet. Especially when his anger was stemming from his family being messed with than just pure anger.

(And mun is too lazy to get icons or pictures, so whatever.)

Once transformed, his tail is flicking in pure anger behind him, already low voice more guttural and growled out.

“You will leave the girl out of this. Your fight is with me.”

[baldbara-blog]

( Continued from here )

Excuse him a moment while he gives merely a low grunt to that comment, Leeka, he does not like to think of himself as old. But, okay, sure, he’s probably getting out of his prime by this point but certainly still able to fight. He’s not out of the game just yet.

“’m not old.” And there’s the denial, but he at least doesn’t seem to have taken it personally, which is a plus at least. But he is unwrapping his tail from his waist to tug her towards him, have fun with that.

“Or you wouldn’t be attracted to some old man, would you?” ... Was that... was that actual teasing, Nappa? Progress.

[baldbara-blog]

If she were quiet during meetings, he’d honestly question what was wrong with her. Really, he doesn’t even need to speak anymore as the majority of his opinion is the same as her’s, he’d taught and trained her well since she had been young, after all. He crosses his arms for a moment as he eyes the soldiers in the meeting, a small hint of a smirk playing on his lips.

“As per usual, she states my opinion on the matter before I can do so. We do not have the luxury of destroying something as strategic as that planetoid and if anything happens to it while in our possession, I certainly know who to blame.” Nappa, don’t be threatening the high-ranked soldiers, even if you easily outrank every single one of them.

Really, he lets her speak at the majority of these meetings, primarily to continue observing her and offering suggestions for improvements where necessary. After all, if she’s to be his successor in the future, then he’s going to make sure she’s ready for any task thrown at her.

Not that he had any doubts that his daughter could handle herself in those scenarios.

[antiheroes-in-red-deactivated20]

One of the soldiers, who seems to have some semblance of guts… or a lack of common sense… decides to speak up.

“But.. how are we going to take the planetoid without incurring more than minor losses? Our reports show they’re pretty dug in… uh.. Ma’am.” He tacks on that ‘Ma’am’ at the end rather quickly, if only to spare himself a glare from the young woman’s father.

Letta regards him for a moment, as if she hadn’t heard him correctly. That’s when the small smile starts spreading across her face, and several soldiers in the room could swear the temperature of the room had dropped.

“I’ve asked myself that question several times. And I believe I have an answer. The planet itself is just large enough that if we launched pods from this system..” She gestures to the astronomical map behind her. “… they would be able to to land completely undetected by the enemy. From there, simply keep a low profile as best we can until we have their outpost surrounded, then we strike. It would be preferable if none of the enemy was able to escape to warn their superiors, but I don’t think we need to put anyone in harms way more than they already will be. Any further questions, soldier?”

[baldbara-blog]

A smart decision for that soldier and he’s certainly spared that glare for the time being, only for him to close his eyes for but a moment to turn the question over in his head. And to wait and see what Letta’s response to it will be, of course he’s anything but disappointed with what he hears. His arms fold over his chest as he tries not to let that smile creep to his lips, he knows it’s unnerving for those in the room other than his flesh and blood.

“Perhaps it’s better if we do allow at least one the luxury of living, given our enemy, that soldier would not be living for very long after the news is delivered to begin with. And given what we know of them, they’re more likely to either get reckless and be easy enough to extinguish or they will flee when they realize just what kind of a force they are up against.” He slowly opens his eyes again to cast a glance at the rest of the soldiers in the room, a brow raised in question.

“These are newer opponents, after all, it may be in our best interests to see how they react to such a destructive force. And to teach them that their assumptions of us being little more than brawn are woefully mistaken.”

[antiheroes-in-red-deactivated20]

“Actually, destroying the planetoid would leave us without a staging point for a counter-offensive when we route the enemy forces. Not to mention all the raw materials we could extract once the enemy has been pushed back. It would be foolish to waste it.” Letta never keeps quiet during meetings with the higher-ranked soldiers. Even if they do constantly question why she’s even here.

[baldbara-blog]

“As much as I would love to see someone rip her to absolute shreds, it’s hardly our place to be worrying about it at this particular moment. If she returns, then she’ll die like the filth she is, until then there’s no use in worrying about it.” Even if he’s still on the side of they should have killed her instead of merely ripped her damn tail off.

[antiheroes-in-red-deactivated20]

“I know… but I still think we should at least dispatch a team of soldiers to find her. She needs to answer for the lives she took in her escape.” Her thoughts turned to Kailan and Bok, and her steely expression softened.

“The families of those lost deserve at least that.”

[baldbara-blog]

This woman, she knows how to get under his skin and hit buttons he’d hidden for the majority of his life. A low sigh slips past his lips as he listens to her words. In theory they could probably send a team out, but space was wide and vast and who knew where the bitch had run off to. Other than that he remains silent, allowing his tail to unwrap from his waist to wrap around her’s in turn. Some bit of comfort he can offer while in public like this.

“I’d say I could try and figure something out, but given we have no idea where her trajectory was even heading for, it’s a quest destined to fail. I know they deserve some compensation in some manner, but the fact of the matter is that we have no control over that.”
