(OOC: these quests are a sort of "origin story" for how Sythius got to Earth after he was born. Because of this, the Sythius you're familiar with may be different than he acts currently in the RP. His PL is 24500 in these quests. I'm going to ignore any PL requirements because they're stupid. I also did a bit of improvising with some of the prompts. I'm not done with the questline.)
Name: Six Versus One

Power level Reward: 700
Requirements: N/A
Sythius smashed into the ground. He grunted, picked himself up, and cocked his head and gazed up into the sky. That metal beast is going to chase me down here! He was just born somehow and immediately attacked by saiyan pirates. He did his best to destroy the machine before he ran, but fear still gripped the back of his mind. After a traumatizing birth, what does Sythius do? Ponder the meaning of his existence? Go on an epic adventure with the goal of finding his creator? Something else grand and noble, befitting of such a model hero?
“Dumb metal beasts ruining my day!” (Did you really think SYTHIUS would do anything noble when he has the option to be negative? Really? If that's what you want, you should just go read Tadeo's quests!) The lizardman evaluated his surroundings. He was in a massive crater with deeper holes inside it it. Dust was galloping away from him in all directions. “What kind of place is this?” he hollered. Tumbleweeds. He shut his eyes and tuned out the rest of the world. He was tired confused, and scared. He wanted to roll up into a ball and cry, but he didn't because he isn't a little bitch. (Totally not because he's too scared to let his guard down! The ship could come and eat him!)
After he was done moping and being a pussy, he surveyed his surroundings more deeply. It was a quiet and warm day, and nothing actually in the sky, besides than the sun in the west. The only thing that felt out-of-place was that he could feel some sort of pressure coming from several different directions. All of them were far away except for the one coming from below. It didn't interest him, so he ignored the strange and slightly painful sensation. It wasn't worth his time, dammit!
“That’s dumb! There’s nothing here!” Sythius pouted, sparing a few seconds between words to glance up at the sky. Still cautious, the reptilian plopped down on the ground and crossed his legs. His tail slithered around his body like it was giving him a hug. “Why did I appear in front of an worthless rock?” He flicked a stone with the tip of his tail and it went flying. “Stupid rocks! Leave my crater alone!” he spat.
He waited for the sound of the rock hitting the ground, but it never came. That's just wonderful! How the hell is he going to pass the time unti the scary monster attacks him if rocks are silent! Now he has to experiment! Sythius spent the next hour kicking pebbles about, and in that time he discovered a few things: rocks weren't silent! (Shocking, I know!), playing with his tail was really fun, and there was a very specific section of the where the rocks never... hit... the... ground? (also his belly rumbled, but he tried to ignore it.)
He was stupified. No matter how many pebbles he flung, they never made and form of noise! Now, Sythius just graduated with a doctorate in the science of 'Hearing Rocks Bouncing On The Ground' so he KNEW that this was odd. He was sooo excited! He was unravelling this fascinating mystery! He followed his passion and went to investigate.
Nothing was amiss, other than a massive metal tube that was dug into the ground... Sythius paused. He didn't know why, but he just knew that that wasn't normal. At this point, this whole thing was becoming much more than the stupid experiments of a bizarre alien creature. Something really weird was going on. The ludacris lizardman stared down into the dark tunnel, and without hesitation he jumped.
"I REEEEEEEEALLY SHOULDN'T HAVE JUMPED!!!" his words echoed around him and slapped him with a big ol'pupper headache. He continued to plummet for twenty seconds before the tunnel of terrpr abruptly ended. Sythius crashed into the ground and bounced a few times, before landing in a heap on some kind of floor. Surprisingly, he felt no real pain. He was groggy, but he did his best to get (and stay) on his feet.
He was in the middle of a corridor that went in two directions: east and south. He could hear noise and sense multiple PLs close by, in the south. The eastern direction was quiet and looked like it went down really far. A mixture of fear and excitement possessed him, and he HAD to know what these sounds were. After a short walk he noticed his surroundings changing. Before everything was shiny, metallic, and 'new', but as he got closer to to the noise the walls were replaced with solid rock.
The hallway opened up into some kind of room. The word 'pub' came to mind. There were several figures sitting around a curved surface talking to someone behind the bar. They... they were the same type of creature that attacked him in space! A frightened gasp escaped his mouth, making it's way to the Sayians acute ears. All talking stopped.
His instincts roared at him 'Run Sythius! Run! They're gonna kill you!' but he was frozen. The Saiyans started laughing and then... one of them disap-
A large fist smashed into Sythius' head from behind, sending him into the ground. His assailant stepped on his head and pressed down. Sythius tried to scream, but the ground muffled the sound. He couldn't even breathe! He felt helpless.
"What'cha doing in here, little lamb? Just takin' a stroll?" his assailant mocked him.
Out in space he'd been so strong, so unrestrained... he wanted that power. He demanded it. At that moment he knew that he hated to be mocked. He'd do whatever it took to protect himself from mockery.
A tch-whirr sound erupted around him... and everything began to glow green. Slowly, the ground seemed to move away from him. His ki aura had stopped him from suffocating!
"What?" his attacker pressed down harder and harder on his skull but it had no effect. "Guys, get the scouters!" Sythius despised the sound of this monster's voice. He wanted it gone. His tail lashed out at the man, and before he knew it the spike had jammed itself through something soft, then something very hard.
All pressure on his back released. Sythius manuevered his tail around his body, so he could face his attacker. A large man was hanging in front of the lizard with his tail poking through his body. He knew he was 'dead' but when he focused on him, but the others were still alive. The others laughed at their dead friend. Sythius 'dropped' his corpse.
"We told him to wear his scouter." the strongest said. He was double the power of the dead man. "Hey lizard, that was some fight! You were wicked brutal!" He chuckled and took a few steps towards Sythius. The lizardman flinched and got ready to swipe at the man with his tail.
"Easy, easy! We can be friends. There are a lot of bad people around like that guy, but we could protect you!"
Sythius was so confused and scared... he just wanted safety. He was getting a really bad feeling but he didn't know what to do.
"Y-yes! I'll join you!"
