Shadic walked into the hotel, carefully opening the glass doors as he did so. His blue and orange gi and spiky hair probably made him stand out from the average guest. He was frustrated, mostly at himself for not owning a telephone of any kind, but also because of what he'd been through during the day. For the past three hours he'd been flying around the city going hotel to hotel in order to find the one his friend lived in. At this point, he'd started to lose hope that he'd ever find this hotel. Even still, he persisted. The hybrid hurriedly made his way over to the receptionist and smiled to let her know everything was just peachy. "Hello there ma'am. Do you know of a resident by the name of Tadeo, uh...?" Shadic never learned his friend's last name, so he just went with what he knew, "yeah, just Tadeo? Tell him Shadic's here to see him. That's S-H-A-D-I-C, if it matters."
While he was now technically a foreigner to all cities, the one in the East was a little more foreign. It had a lot more hotels than South City, and thanks to sheer luck, Shadic hadn't found the one Tadeo lived in. At this point he was starting to lose hope, thinking Tadeo may have moved recently.

At the time Shadic came to Tadeo's hotel, he was in his room, and he just got out of the shower. Penny was working at the stand again, today. It was a busier day than normal. So when Shadic walked through those glass doors in his gi, Penny knew that this had to be one of Tadeo's friends. The man in the gi walked up to Penny with a smile on his face, asking for Tadeo, exactly like she thought. She giggled and reached for the phone. "I knew you'd be one of Tadeo's friends. Your outfit and look says it all. I'll call him real quick for you." Penny dialed Tadeo's room number into the phone. "Shadic...Shadic...Shadic..." The phone in Tadeo's room rang. Christel was also in the room, and she was much closer to the phone, so she answered it. "Uh, hello?" "Christel, is Tadeo around?" "Uh, yeah, he's putting his gi on." Tadeo was in the corner right next to the hallway, getting his gi pants on, looking at Christel in a confused manner. She answered back with a silent mouthing of "I don't know." "All right. 'Cuz there's someone here to see him. His name's Shadic." "Shadic?" "Shadic?" Immediately, Tadeo started putting on his clothes much quicker. Of course, neither Tadeo nor Christel were expecting Shadic this late in the day, but this didn't stop Tadeo from getting ready quicker. "All right, well Tadeo heard 'Shadic' and now he went into maximum overdrive. By the way, why didn't you just call our phones? You have our numbers." "I'm not allowed to use my phone during work hours." "That's a load of bull, you're the boss here. You could do whatever you want here." "That doesn't matter to me. Anyway, just send Tadeo down here." With that, Penny and Christel hung up the phone. Christel turned around to a fully clothed Tadeo, standing right behind her, as if waiting for permission from his mother to leave. Slightly surprised, Christel put her hands on his shoulders and leaned him in closer. "Look, I know you need to get out there if Shadic's practically at our doorstep, but you better come back in one piece and not dying. You hear me?" "Yep, gotcha." "Good, 'cuz I'd rather not hear that you were killed on me out there." "Just don't miss me too much, okay?" "Easier said than done." Christel laughed. Tadeo opened the door, said his goodbyes to Christel, and sprinted down the corridor, to the stairs, down them, and into the main lobby. He saw Shadic at the stand, with his gi on. This made Tadeo slightly nervous as to what he wanted them to do. He stopped in front of Shadic, next to Penny in the stand. "Thanks, Penny." Tadeo's orange-haired receptionist/"maid" smiled to Tadeo and continued her computer work, which is what she was working on before Shadic got here.
"I swear, I'm gonna eat your entire race." - Tadeo
"Tycho is no longer Tycho. Tycho is now little girl. Yes!" - Majin Tycho
"Stupid scouter, coming off my face like that! Where the fuck is it!? There it fucking is! Hah!" - Sarai
Shadic cheered internally, knowing he had finally found the right place. His hard work and dedication paid off again, like it always did. He waited for Tadeo to make it out to the lobby, which took a lot less time than he thought it would. His green haired ally looked a little nervous, which is exactly what Shadic wanted. Not exactly. He didn't want Tadeo to be nervous at all actually, but it's better than nothing.
"Tadeo! I hope your day's been going well so far, because you're gonna have to be on top of your game for what we gotta do. Are you willing to, uh, 'borrow' something from our friend Big Shot?" Shadic was being vague on purpose. He wanted Tadeo to ask questions so he could explain his plan. The fate of humanity might actually rest on Tadeo's shoulders, so Shadic was very excited.

After Tadeo heard Shadic's request, he thought it rather confusing. He didn't understand exactly what Shadic wanted, but he was also surprised to hear Big Shot's name again. He hadn't heard from him in a while, and he wondered if Shadic hadn't, either. Even through all this, Tadeo could tell that Shadic was excited for some reason, mainly by the way he greeted him. "So, we finally get a job and it's stealing something from our old friend? All right, I'm down. What's the specifics?" Tadeo had been off the field for a while, and he'd been itching to get to do something. Anything was fine, even this, which he wouldn't have turned down, anyway. Tadeo got himself into the working mindset and attitude. It was time to get serious.
"I swear, I'm gonna eat your entire race." - Tadeo
"Tycho is no longer Tycho. Tycho is now little girl. Yes!" - Majin Tycho
"Stupid scouter, coming off my face like that! Where the fuck is it!? There it fucking is! Hah!" - Sarai
Shadic knew Tadeo couldn't turn down his offer. Before he started speaking he looked around to make sure nobody was listening, and he started explaining regardless, "Lately, Big Shot has been disconnected from, like, everybody. I dunno if you knew Big Shot the way I did, but that's way outta his character. It's almost as if he's a different person."
He started getting lost in his thoughts about what happened to the kajillionaire, but then he remembered what he needed to say. Shadic cleared his throat before continuing, "Sorry. Anyways, I am trying to revive the Brotherhood. With everybody seemingly reappearing at the same time, Earth has gotta be a prime target for intergalatic baddies to take aim at. I may be strong, but there's probably somebody, or something, out there ten times stronger than me. I can't protect this planet alone, and I don't trust a lot of the other 'heroes' to help me when I need it."
"So, I need people I can trust helping me out. And who better than the rising star: you? Nobody, probably." Shadic sighed as he thought about something. Big Shot was the biggest, and only, funder of the original BoB. He didn't want to steal from him, but this was for a good cause.
Shadic continued, "With Big Shot being busy, he cannot supply us with tech like he did before. That's where I need you; for our first mission, I guess you could say. We gotta sneak into one of Big Shot's factories and somehow manage to hijack one of their fancy jets." It sounded farfetched, impossible even. He couldn't fly a jet, Tadeo probably couldn't either, but that wasn't the issue. Secretly stealing an entire jet was likely going to be impossible, especially because Big Shot had robotic guards that never left their posts.
"This'll be far from easy. Worst case: we leave empty handed. But if we can steal one of those jets, and they're as good as I hear, we'll be set. You still down?" Shadic paused, thinking he was done, but then he remembered something else, "Oh, and who knows? If he hears word of this heist, it might bring Big Shot back to hero duty."

Tadeo listened intently to Shadic's plan. He didn't seem to notice the pauses, nor did he mind them. After Shadic had mentioned Big Shot's name, Tadeo went into a bit of reminiscing of what little time he spent with the guy. He may not have known him as long as Shadic had, but they were still good friends at one point, and knowing he's somewhere out there, not keeping in contact with either of them, pained him to think about it. This was a depressing time for the Brotherhood, with Shadic and Tadeo all they had left. "Still doesn't matter to me. As long as there's a slight chance Big Shot will come back out from hiding, and if it's for the Brotherhood, then I'm all for it. No questions about it." Tadeo thought about that scouter he had laying around, which used to be active when the Brotherhood was active. He wanted that back again. He wanted the team, with Shadic, Big Shot, and maybe even Reku again. This was his second family. Outside Christel and Penny, the Brotherhood was the only family that stuck with him, and that he was able to stick with. It being torn apart like this is almost as painful as when his actual family died, many years ago. "I'm not letting us leave empty handed. If this is really what we need to bring back the Brotherhood, or one of the things we need, then let's get to it. I'm not standing by to watch anymore." Tadeo was reinvigorated with a new sense of determination. There was no way he would just let this all end.
"I swear, I'm gonna eat your entire race." - Tadeo
"Tycho is no longer Tycho. Tycho is now little girl. Yes!" - Majin Tycho
"Stupid scouter, coming off my face like that! Where the fuck is it!? There it fucking is! Hah!" - Sarai
Shadic was pleasantly surprised a Tadeo's willingness to go along with his plan. He went into the hotel thinking it would take a little convincing, but the green haired saiyan was ready to go. "Oh, you're actually down? Okay, sweet! I'll explain on the way there, but essentially we gotta snag a jet, fly it away, and remove the tracking device."
He started towards the door, talking some more as he did, "There will be robot guards, but I'm not sure how strong. Chances are I can likely handle them. We'll talk strategy when we get there." Shadic pushed the door open and held it for his friend.
"The factory is on a dirt road just a few miles off the interstate between here and Central City. It's where BS builds a lot of his bigger tech, you can't miss it." He explained, so Tadeo knew where they were headed. As each second passed, Shadic felt better and better about the Brotherhood's revival.

Tadeo listened to Shadic's full plan as they walked out the door. He started getting excited hearing about this, even though he had no idea how to steal a jet, let alone how to pilot one. He didn't care. After all, this was for the sake of the Brotherhood. "Okay. Infiltrate guarded factory, take out multiple guards, fly away with jet and take out tracking device. Doesn't sound hard at all." Tadeo's sarcasm was expressed to show his excitement. He could hardly keep his Saiyan blood under control. He was itching for a good fight. Walking out the door, he immediately took to the skies, hovering above the ground and looking towards Shadic. "All right, lead the way! Let's get this going!" Tadeo would follow close behind Shadic, not wanting to miss a single beat of the action. He was determined to revive the Brotherhood, and get back into the game, as well. It's been far too long.
"I swear, I'm gonna eat your entire race." - Tadeo
"Tycho is no longer Tycho. Tycho is now little girl. Yes!" - Majin Tycho
"Stupid scouter, coming off my face like that! Where the fuck is it!? There it fucking is! Hah!" - Sarai
Shadic, too, took to the air with his friend and started blasting towards his desired location. He could not go close to full speed, since Tadeo would get left in the dust, so he traveled at a pace just slightly faster than the green haired one, "This shouldn't be too hard for us, but it's well worth it. I mean, basically, it's low risk, high reward." As they zoomed through the sky, Shadic watched the ground below. He knew he could defend Earth, and he would, but it was only getting tougher and tougher by the day. Ever since Reku showed back up, the enemies got a lot stronger and so did everybody around him. Defending Earth was far from a one man job, especially when that one man had a huge target on his back.
"This jet that we're going for is sort of going to operate as our makeshift base of operations. If I heard correctly, it has autopilot and access to Big Shot's network, which is just what we need to jump start the Brotherhood. We might even be able to wrangle in a few new members before Big Shot ever returns to the fighting scene." Shadic eyed the horizon as he flew until finally a large hangar-like building appeared.
Shadic pointed, assuming Tadeo was looking, "That's the place. Factory 17-C. It should have what we're looking for." He touched down on top of a rock formation just a couple miles away from the factory. From there, Shadic was somewhat able to see what was going on. Of course, the sunset in the background did not help any, but he could see a few robot guards patrolling the area as well as a few on the rooftop watching the skies. They may or may not have already been spotted, but no alarms were sounding or anything so everything seemed fine for now.

Tadeo watched Shadic blast in front of him. He smirked and kept pace behind him. Listening to Shadic while he was keeping up behind him, a few questions flew through Tadeo's mind. However, he only spoke one of them. "This jet better be huge, if it's gonna act as our base of operations." Tadeo liked the idea of a high gain, low risk deal. It's less of a hassle trying to complete the mission. The young Saiyan was feeling more pumped up for it than ever. Of course, if there's anything that he could do to even have a slight chance of bringing Big Shot back, he'd do it on the spot. Tadeo looked in the direction Shadic pointed when he got there. He scanned the factory as best as he could, but had to shield his eyes from the sun, since his eyes were pretty sensitive. Unable to look any longer, he closed his eyes and touched down to the ground. Blinking a few times and looking to Shadic. "Saw some guards there, but not for long. There's probably gonna be more, anyway. What's the plan now?"
"I swear, I'm gonna eat your entire race." - Tadeo
"Tycho is no longer Tycho. Tycho is now little girl. Yes!" - Majin Tycho
"Stupid scouter, coming off my face like that! Where the fuck is it!? There it fucking is! Hah!" - Sarai
