Enzo considered this for a moment, then nodded as he remembered how strong a Saiyan could get. "Alright, we can make a quick stop. But we shouldn't stay too long. We have a mission to complete, after all."

Turles grinned. "Of course, of course. We won't be long."

Turles and Enzo left Xonzoria in their spaceship, setting the coordinates to the last known location of Tarble.

...

<3rd P.O.V>

Turles and Enzo sat in the cockpit of their spaceship, having left the planet they had just visited in search of Vegeta's exiled brother, Tarble. They were now discussing their next steps.

"So, what do we know about this planet?" Turles asked, looking over a holographic display of the planet.

"According to the galactic database, Tarble was last spotted around this part of the Galaxy on a desolate planet, mostly barren with little to no vegetation. It's not considered habitable for most species," Enzo replied.

Turles furrowed his brow. "That's not promising. How are we supposed to find Tarble in all of that?"

Enzo tapped a few buttons on the console, bringing up a map of the planet. "We'll have to scan for any energy signatures. Tarble may not be strong, but he's still a Saiyan, so we should be able to pick up his energy."

Turles nodded in agreement. "Alright, let's get started. Set a course for the planet and start the scans."

As they approached the planet, Enzo initiated the energy scan. The ship's sensors swept over the planet, searching for any signs of life. After a few moments, a blip appeared on the screen.

"I think I've got something," Enzo said, pointing to the screen. "It's a faint energy signature, but it's definitely Saiyan."

"I wonder what Tarble is up to these days," Turles said thoughtfully, breaking the comfortable silence that had settled between them.

"Looks like he's been living on a planet called S-47," Enzo replied, his voice flat and emotionless as usual.

"S-47, huh? I've never heard of it," Turles mused, his eyes scanning the ship's navigation system. "Do we have any information on it?"

"Very little," Enzo answered, his eyes flicking over to the screen. "It's a remote planet located in the outer reaches of the galaxy, and it's not particularly hospitable to most forms of life. But it does have a small population of sentient beings that Tarble has apparently been living among."

Turles nodded, his mind already working through the logistics of their upcoming visit. "We should probably approach the planet with caution," he said, his voice low. "We don't know what kind of reception we'll receive, especially since we're not exactly on the best terms with Tarble's family."

"Agreed," Enzo replied, his expression impassive.

They fell into silence once again, the only sounds in the ship the hum of the engines and the occasional beep of the navigation system. Turles knew that they had a long journey ahead of them and that they needed to be prepared for anything that might happen once they arrived on S-47.

As they travelled deeper into space, Turles couldn't help but think about the circumstances that had led them here. He had never met Tarble personally, but he knew all too well about the fraught relationship between Tarble's family and the Saiyans.

It was strange, he thought, how fate had brought him and Enzo together on this mission. They were two warriors from vastly different backgrounds.

As the hours passed and they drew closer to their destination, Turles knew that their journey was far from over. There were still countless unknowns waiting for them on S-47, and he could only hope that he and Enzo were prepared for whatever lay ahead.

<Scene Break>

<3rd P.O.V>

As their spaceship descended onto the planet's surface, Turles couldn't help but feel uneasy. The planet's atmosphere was thick and dense, and the terrain looked unforgiving.

As they landed, the two warriors stepped out of the spaceship and onto the barren wasteland of the planet. The air was humid, and the ground was hot to the touch. Turles looked around, scanning the area for any signs of Tarble's whereabouts.

"According to our scans, Tarble should be located just a few kilometres from here," said Turles.

Enzo grunted in response, his eyes narrowed as he surveyed the surroundings. He had always been the more cautious of the two and wanted to be sure they were not walking into a trap.

"Man, this planet is hot," Turles said, wiping the sweat off his forehead.

"Yeah, but we have a job to do. Let's focus on finding Tarble," Enzo replied, looking around for any signs of life.

The two set off on foot, navigating through the unfamiliar terrain. As they walked, they encountered several hostile creatures that they quickly took care of with their combat skills. After a few minutes of walking, they finally arrived at a desolate-looking town.

"This place looks abandoned. Do you think Tarble is even here?" Turles asked, looking around.

"It's the last known location of his whereabouts, so we have to assume he's here," Enzo replied, scanning the area with his advanced sensors.

As they walked through the town, they noticed the destruction and chaos that had taken place. Burned buildings, broken windows, and scorch marks were everywhere. It was clear that this planet had been through a lot of battles.

"Looks like this planet has been through some battles. As a Saiyan he must have thrived in this location right?," Turles commented.

*CRASH* *Crunch*

Suddenly, they heard a loud crash and turned to see a group of heavily armed soldiers approaching them.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" one of the soldiers demanded, pointing his gun at them.

"We're looking for someone. A guy named Tarble. Do you know where he is?" Enzo replied calmly.

The soldiers exchanged a look before one of them spoke up. "Tarble? He's been taken captive by the Hakiri rebels. They're fighting against the tyrant ruler of this planet," he explained.

Turles and Enzo shared a knowing look. They had been looking for someone to join their team and since Tarble was taken captive he must have been forced to fight. Tarble would be a perfect addition to their team.

"Take us to them. We need to speak with the Hakiri rebels," Turles said, his voice carrying a sense of authority.

The soldiers hesitated for a moment before nodding and leading them towards the rebels' stronghold. As they walked, Turles and Enzo discussed their plan.

"We need to convince Tarble to join us. He would be a valuable asset to our team," Turles said.

"Agreed. But we also need to be careful. The rebels might not take kindly to outsiders," Enzo added.

As they arrived at the stronghold, they were greeted by a group of Hakiri warriors. The leader of the rebels stepped forward, eyeing them suspiciously.

"What brings you here?" he asked, his voice laced with hostility.

"We're here for Tarble," Turles said while powering up with a feral smile on his face, hoping the leader will say no.

The leader narrowed his eyes before nodding. "Very well. But know that we will be watching you," he warned.

They were taken to a cell where Tarble was being held captive. As they approached him, they could see that he had been through a lot. His clothes were torn, He was chained up and his body was covered in bruises and cuts.

But his eyes still shone with a fierce determination.

Tarble looked up at them with a mixture of fear and defiance in his eyes. He had been captured by the Hakiri rebels, who had been waging a guerrilla war against the oppressive government on this planet for years. Tarble had been captured by them, but he was not a fighter and had been quickly polished into one for survival.

Turles stepped forward, his imposing figure casting a shadow over Tarble. "We're not here to hurt you, Tarble. We want you to join our team."

Tarble looked at him skeptically. "You!!! You are a Saiyan...And why would I do that?"

"Because no one on this planet can touch you if you're with us," Enzo spoke up with a ruthless glint in his eyes. "We're one of the strongest warriors in the galaxy, and we're on a mission to take down the most powerful beings in the universe. We could use you on the team."

Tarble considered this for a moment. He knew he was no match for the government's forces, let alone the beings that Turles and Enzo were referring to. But he was hesitant to join them, knowing that he could be putting himself in even greater danger.

Tarble looked at them skeptically, "And what makes you think I'm going to help you? I have no reason to."

Turles stepped forward and said, "We know you've been exiled from your planet. We can offer you a new home and a purpose. Plus, no one on this planet can touch you if you join us."

"Because we're the only ones who can protect you," Turles said. "We can offer you a chance to fight back against those who have wronged you. And we can promise you that we won't let anything happen to you."

Tarble was still hesitant, "Why should I trust you? You're strangers to me."

Turles stepped forward and said, "We're the only Saiyans left, just like you. I understand what you've been through and want to help you."

Turles added, "And we also know what it's like to lose everything. But we have a chance to create something new, something powerful."

Tarble pondered their offer for a moment before finally speaking, "And what does your team do exactly?"

"We need your strength and your skills," replied Enzo. "We're going up against some of the strongest opponents in the universe, and we need specialized warriors to tackle them ."

Tarble looked between the two of them, weighing his options. He knew that he couldn't stay with the Hakiri rebels forever, and he couldn't fight on his own. Perhaps this was his chance to make a difference.

Tarble considered their proposal and then looked up at them, "Alright, I'll join you. But on one condition. You have to help me rescue my wife."

Turles and Enzo exchanged looks and then nodded in agreement. "Deal," they said in unison.

Turles, who had finally broken down the door and the chains, stepped back and let Tarble out of his cell. As soon as Tarble was free, he felt a rush of excitement and adrenaline.

Turles and Enzo released their power level, their energy radiating outwards in a show of force. The ground beneath them shook as they walked out of the cell, their imposing presence making it clear that they were not to be messed with.

Tarble followed them, feeling a newfound sense of purpose. He knew that he had made the right decision by joining these two warriors. Together, they would be unstoppable.

As they walked out of the Hakiri camp, Tarble could feel the eyes of the other rebels on them. He could sense their fear and respect for Turles and Enzo.

"Tarble, my name is Enzo, and this is Turles. As per our deal, we will rescue your wife. But first, we need some information from you," Enzo said as he stood in front of Tarble.

"What do you need to know?" Tarble asked, his voice laced with a hint of desperation.

"We need to know where your wife is being held and if there are any security measures that we need to be aware of," Turles interjected.

Tarble nodded and proceeded to provide them with the necessary information. As he spoke, Enzo could sense Tarble's fear and uncertainty. He knew that Tarble was not a warrior and that he was probably feeling overwhelmed by the situation.

Enzo couldn't help but compare Tarble to Gohan as to how similar they were. He wondered if he should play with his emotions to see if he also hides great potential.

'Should I try to kill his wife after I rescue her?' Enzo contemplated while his face was completely devoid of any emotions.
