A/N: I don't have much warning to give, except for the foul words, possible yaoi scenes, the occasional random crap and whatnots. Not too sure yet.
Disclaimer: I own nothing. Except a few DBZ Mangas, DVDS, cards and a toy Vegeta. And this idea.

Friend or party member

He couldn’t do it…
Tarble pushed himself off the ground where he originally sat; his body moving faster before he could think. “GOKU STOP!”
Tarble’s sudden outburst shocked Goku, stopping him before his lips could make contact with the cup. Tarble had lunged forward and smacked the cup out of his hand, spilling the contents of the cup some distance from the campsite, but it was what happened next that had him confused. Still stunned by Tarble’s unusual behaviour, he watched speechlessly as Tarble as he did the same with the other 2 glasses. Then finally he took hold of the jug with both hands and with what seemed like a resigned cry, Tarble smashed it to the ground; shattering it into pieces. The sound snapped Goku back to his senses.
“Tarble?” Goku stood up slowly.
Tarble shook uncontrollably, staring at the remains of the broken jug as the poisoned liquid spilled everywhere and eventually, was absorbed into the ground. He brought his hands up in a futile attempt to stop the tears that flowed, failing terribly despite his best efforts.
“I’m sorry… I’m so sorry…” he stood at that same spot, repeating the same words over.
Goku came closer, unsure of what to do or what to say. He had no idea what just happened or why Tarble was in tears and apologising… nevertheless, he brought his arms around Tarble, pulling him into his embrace.
“It’s alright…” he spoke softly, keeping his arms around Tarble as the mage sobbed, burying his face in his chest; his tears fell like rain, tugging at Goku’s heartstrings. Goku held him close, soothing him with a gentle caress on his back, waiting, until finally the sobs reduced to light whimpers.
“Goku?”
“Well… looks like we’re interrupting something, aren’t we? We can go another round if you’re up to it”
(Turles HP – 72, 5060/5200)
“Shut up” Vegeta hissed, his face starting a light blush.
“I meant to scout another round!” Turles clutched his stomach, indignant; contrary to everyone’s belief, he was capable of proper conversations too; if the situation called for it, meaning more often otherwise… if absolutely necessary.
Goku looked up at the sound of their voices as his friend returned to their campsite together with Turles. Goku resisted the burning urge to frown and stare at Vegeta; so they were done… Goku perished that thought from his mind immediately; there were other matters to see to first, like Tarble.
“Tarble? What’s going on Goku?” Vegeta asked first.
Goku kept his arms gently around Tarble and shook his head slowly; he didn’t know either. Moments passed, in what seemed like hours until Turles eventually sighted the broken jug. He left Vegeta’s side, walking up to the fragments; carefully, he moved the broken pieces until he found what he was looking for. He picked up the barely intact base, tilting it gently to remove the last trickle of liquid but enough to retain what was left at the bottom.
Colourless and odourless as it was, Turles was skilled in the field of poison and he knew immediately what this was.
“… poison” Turles turned back to his 3 teammates.
“I’m sorry…” Tarble whispered another apology, confirming what Turles told them.
“Tell me what’s wrong, Tarble…” Goku urged him gently. “Tell us everything”

…
“He gave me an ultimatum… either I do this… or my friends will die…” Tarble cast his eyes down as they spoke in the tent, which was now overcrowded with all 4 of them inside.
“Who did? What did this ‘he’ wanted you to do, Tarble?” Goku asked, encouraging Tarble to tell them.
“The King’s General…”
“Tell us from the beginning, what happened” Vegeta suggested.
“My home… the magic guild… the Master Enchanter… they…” Tarble tried to continue, wiping his eyes dry to stop further tears from flowing; he was done crying. The rest waited for him to continue, patiently; already able to piece together parts of the story.
Unable to carry on a conversation without whimpers and in between pauses, Tarble reached into his robes and brought out a small piece of crumpled paper. Wordlessly, he extended his hand forward, giving it to Goku who took it, straightened it out and read the contents.
Goku’s reaction was instant, his eyes grew wide and then his brows knitted tightly together; he crushed the piece of paper in his hand, surprising Vegeta and Turles.
“Don’t do that, what did it say?” Turles snatched the crumbled paper from Goku’s hand, straightened the already twice crumbled paper before reading it. Turles glowered at the note for a few more seconds before crushing the small piece of paper with both hands, growling as he did.
“What the hell, not you too! Give that here!” Vegeta quickly pried Turles’ hands apart before he destroyed the note, straightening the now flimsy piece of paper with both hands before reading it himself. He glared at the paper, then without warning… *riiiiip*. That first tear was soon accompanied by a second and then the third; no one was bothered to count after the third.
“I’m sorry…” Tarble bowed, practically going onto his knees in front of everyone, refusing to meet any of their eyes; unaware that the other 3 had turned in each other’s direction, sharing a look; all of them with the same idea in mind.
“Where’s your guild?” Goku asked, stopping any further kneeling on Tarble’s part.
“Goku….?” Tarble looked up.
“We’re going to rescue your friends and it’s not going to be that cur’s way” Turles answered Tarble’s unfinished question.
“But he’s got soldiers there… an army maybe… and they got hostages” Tarble looked at all 3 of them.
“There are many ways to skin a cat and I happen to know several” Vegeta crossed his arms, ignoring the raised brow and questioning look on Turles’ face.
“Do you trust us, Tarble?” Goku asked, in all seriousness.
“I do” Tarble answered with no hesitation; of course he did, that question was not ever necessary.
“Good answer” Turles grinned. “Then lead the way. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from all this, it’s the fact that damn good shit happens when we fight as a team”
“We’ll leave in the morning. We’ll start planning the moment we know what we’re up against” Vegeta suggested.
“We might not be able to save the Master Enchanter but we’ll rescue the rest” Goku promised.

After 3 days of travel, they’ve finally reached the borders of the East Continent, some distance away from the Magic Guild. One glance at the 5 guards stationed in front of the guild was all they needed to confirm what they already knew; the guild was indeed captured and likely every mage within.
“Guards, heavily armoured; same uniform at that first village. There might be more inside… I can’t tell” Goku returned to the group with his findings.
“We know they have hostages, but my question is if they’re inside and finding that out means having to go in there” Vegeta analysed their situation. “It could also be a trap and more soldiers could be waiting for us inside instead, if they moved the mages”
“No. I’m very sure they’re there…” Tarble spoke up. “I’ve travelled as part of my training… and I know they don’t have other outpost stations to keep prisoners… except to escort them to the palace. And there’s a lot of mages inside…”
“Makes sense… they might not have the means for transport and having to feed them would cost supplies. I still don’t understand why they’ve left them alive, I’m not wishing that on anyone, but… wouldn’t that be easier?” Turles voiced his opinion aloud, being reminded of his home… the army had torched everything so why not this one too?
“Turles has a point… the Warrior Village was almost burned to the ground too… Tarble and I stopped that from happening… and that first village when we first got here… remember that one, Vegeta? … it wasn’t entirely burned down but it was bad enough too” Goku looked at Vegeta, who nodded.
“Turles’ forest was burned to the ground when the soldiers came looking for me” Vegeta remembered.
“Maybe they didn’t… so they could use me to get to you? And I’m very sorry for that… I didn’t know what else to do… how to tell… but you’re right… they’ll likely still kill them anyway…” Tarble looked away.
“But you didn’t, Tarble” Goku reminded him.
“You could have, but in the end you didn’t. So don’t kick yourself in the ass over it” Turles continued where Goku left off.
“Thank you, everyone...”
“Rumps as pretty as that should get some loving and a good pounding” Turles gave Tarble a gentle tap on his ass.
“AHH!” Tarble swung his staff, partly as a result of the time spent with Vegeta and some of his influence seemed to have rubbed off on him, but missed; he still had a long way to go before he could be on par with Vegeta in this area. “TURLES!”
Turles smirked at a blushing and indignant Tarble, then he realised there were two traces of heavy aura, belonging to Goku and Vegeta. “That’s the spirit, Tarble. Now, let’s start planning a rescue”
Tarble blinked once, still pouting at that little brush on his ass but he nodded; his eyes fierce with determination. “Hai!”
The sudden change of mood was immediate, starting from Tarble and spreading to Goku and Vegeta. The heavy aura dispersed, though their faces still showed their disapproval over Turles’ choice of action for ‘morality boosting’.

…
“Alright… here” Goku placed a selection of light armours down, together with a pair of basic wooden daggers and a wooden staff. “These are all I can find at the merchant’s. Any changes?”
“They just changed the guards, they’re taking shifts likely” Turles approached the wares and took a light armour and the 2 basic daggers; the rest of the stuff was for Goku, with the exception of the staff, which, was for Tarble. “Feels like I’m a level 1 rouge now, brings back memories”
“Here Turles… I’ve drawn and marked out what you’ll find in the place… this is the entrance, the dorms, the library, the mess hall, the study, the training hall and the holding cells… I think it’s likely they’ll hold everyone in the cells… if you can… please try to find my mentor… he has green hair and light blue skin… he’ll be able to help you. His name’s Zarbon” Tarble handed the drawing to Turles.
“I got a pretty good head on these shoulders and not just the one between my legs, don’t worry about it” Turles looked through the drawing; it was simple enough.
“Don’t start that again! And pay attention, if you screw up then all of us could die. You’ll have to be quick; the 3 of us will take out any horde that comes out of that place. I doubt they’ll send the whole force out if they’re guarding the mages inside. We’ll need them to help us once they’re freed, so it’s up to you. We cannot afford to prolong this fight, not with their numbers and Goku being the only melee fighter around” Vegeta met Turles’ eyes. “Don’t fail”
“I won’t. Just keep those spiders at them and the fight will turn in our favour” Turles changed in front of them, removing the medium armour in favour of the light one.
“Vegeta, are we all ready?” Goku returned to the group, dressed only in his fire vest and pants with a pair of light armour +5 Def gloves and +3 Agi shoes, armed with his own vibrating sword; which also happened to be immune to the corrode spider’s corrode attack.
“Then I’ll start with the penetration” Turles wore his gloves and looked up, Goku was staring at him with a rather perplexed look; seriously… was this guy really that spotless clean? “Penetrate or infiltrate their defences, either way works for me; it still means the same thing”
“Alright… Tarble will summon the dire wolves first, once we see the signal; the real assault begins” Goku reconfirmed their plan, ignoring what Turles said earlier… willing that he not recall what he saw 3 days back.
“Right. Start counting to 100 once I vanish first… then start with the wolves”
(Vanish Initiated, success)
The rest of them watched as Turles ‘disappeared’ from sight. “Alright. Let’s do it”
“Watch yourself” Vegeta said, unable to see Turles while he was in his vanish stealth mode. He felt a familiar sensation brushed against his lips and just as quickly it left.

…
Turles got in easily, slipping pass the patrol unit unnoticed; as long as he didn’t attack, the invisible mode would allow him to blend into the background and surroundings. The building was big, even if he knew the interior of the places, thanks to Tarble’s information; it would still take him some time to find the mages. He checked the dorms first, reason being they were the closest to the entrance, just a floor up, but the dorms were unoccupied… He could hear the fighting taking place outside and more commotion as the soldiers send more out men as expected, though some stayed behind. He picked up the pace, onwards to the next closest venue.
His luck changed the moment he reached the study, finally… he found 2 soldiers and a mage; he entered quietly.
“Don’t play games with me! Who the hell are those 3 out there!?” one of the 2 soldiers backhanded the mage, demanding answers.
The mage’s head moved with the blow, it stung. “I don’t know”
“Do you take us for fools? You think you could send for help?” he yanked the mage’s braid, forcing him to look up. “Deciding to gamble with your fellow mages lives now, are you?”
“You’ve been watching me for days now, if I had done anything; you would have known” he retorted back.
“Why you insolent…” he raised his hand.
“That’s enough” the other soldier stopped the first. “The guy has to be in mint condition at least, you don’t want the general’s wrath or it’s your head”
“What going on out there? Who’s fighting?” Zarbon asked, curiosity pushing him to test his luck for the answers.
“Not your concern, you just behave yourself. We may have orders not to touch you, but the same cannot be said for those other apprentices. One wrong move from you and you know what would happen to those poor sods…” he stopped and fell to the floor.
(Instant kill! Soldier has died)
(Vanish disrupted)
“What the hell! Who the fu…?!” he gagged, choking as Turles thrust his dagger forward, scoring a direct hit into the guy’s neck, following up with a twist before pushing his dagger outwards to his left, increasing the damage; almost decapitating the man.
(Critical! Soldier HP – 308, ?/?)
(Instant kill! Soldier has died)
“Who are you?” the mage looked up, taken aback by the stranger’s arrival and sudden entrance.
“Name’s Turles, you’re Zarbon right? Tarble mentioned you”
“Tarble? Did he send you? Thank goodness! Get me out of these bindings, quickly” Zarbon started to fidget, unable to do much while he was still tied to the chair.
Turles did not hesitate, using his dagger to cut the tight ropes loose. “Tarble’s fighting out there, with 2 others; but it won’t be enough. We need the mages and your help”
“Understood. The others are held in the holding cells but they are under guard; I can lead us there but if we tread wrongly, they could all be killed” Zarbon explained.
“If they’re mages why aren’t they using spells on those fighters?”
“They’ve all been collared with a magic disrupt collar, like this one. We can’t use any magic unless it’s removed” Zarbon moved his braid aside, showing the collar.
“Easily remedied” having said that, Turles picked the collar open and Zarbon let out a sigh of relief.
“Now that the collar’s off, I can help you. You are a rouge, are you not? Could you do that disappearing trick again? I will bring us there, and I have a spell with those fiends’ names on it” Zarbon picked up his staff.
“Lead the way and hurry. They won’t be able to hold them off for long” Turles urged.

…
Turles was impressed. No wonder Tarble told him to seek his mentor out, the guy was impressive. While Tarble favoured fire and earth magic, this guy preferred water and lightning, and the guy knew how to use his abilities to the fullest.
The guy had distracted the guards long enough for Turles to sneak past and unlock the cell door, a little longer for him to remove the collars, but once he had… boy, did it get interesting. His favourite was the Acid Storm spell, it decreased the enemies’ attack and defence and one of them was left with a rusty armour. Turles had gone in for the kill and with an army of mages, apprentice or not, the remaining soldiers were quickly taken down.
“Mages! To arms!”

…
“There’s the signal! Tarble, the spiders!” Goku called back the moment he heard a wolf howl, prompting the dire wolves to howl back in response.
Tarble quickly replaced the dire wolves with the corroding spiders. The spiders began shooting rounds after rounds of that same white goo Goku and Tarble saw at the Warrior’s Village; using the same strategy they’ve learned during their brief stay. The need to change their weapons and armour, one without the risk of rusting, came with the choice of strategy as well. Reason being the need to ensure their own weapons do not corrode as a result of coming into contact with the same goo as well as a possibility no matter how small, that the spiders might not be able to recognise them as allies and the smell and sight of metal might trigger them to use that same substance on them as well. Without the leisure of time to test out Tarble’s new ability as well as this theory, they had to assume the worse possible scenario and be prepared for anything.
They quickly turn the tables on the soldiers, unable to fight with rusty weapons and armours were rendered useless; aka defenceless. The mages did the most damage, throwing spells after spells at the enemies with little to no weapons or defence against magic.
“We’re going in!” Goku charged first, leading the front while Vegeta and Tarble took care of the stray ones. Turles joined them after; this battle was already won.
(Party has gained Party bonus)
(Party gained a +10 bonus to Defence and +5% Critical damage)

“Tarble, you’re alright”
Tarble came forward, giving the blue skinned man a hug; happy to see his mentor again. “Hai… thank goodness you’re alright…”
“We lost a few friends… but the rest of us will be fine. Thanks to you and your friends… I thank you all” Zarbon nodded to the rest. “You’re travellers?”
“Me and Vegeta are… I’m Goku, this is Vegeta and you’ve met Turles” Goku introduced, a little late but better than never.
“Good to meet you all, though this is hardly the best circumstance or place and I thank you all for your aid. You’re travelling with them, Tarble?” Zarbon asked, concerned for his pupil.
“Actually… I was going to ask if you could go with them... enchanter...” he confessed.
“Tarble? What are you talking about?” Goku asked, confused by what he just heard; Vegeta and Turles were not far behind.
“I realised one thing travelling with everyone… I’m… more of a liability… but my mentor… he’s way better than I… I can’t even aim well and I… I just don’t know if I could really help… even if I want to…” Tarble looked away, ashamed.
“I see…” Zarbon nodded. “It is in everyone’s best interest that this ongoing conflict is resolved as soon as possible. If you require my aid to do that, then I will gladly offer my magic”
Silence filled the room…
“Your magic’s pretty good, I admit…” Turles spoke first. “But Tarble’s been on this journey with us for some time already”
“Tarble, you helped us come this far and I see no reason why you should leave. If you have reasons to stay here, to rebuild… then I can accept that, but if this decision came about because of ‘that’ incident. Then know that I won’t accept it” Vegeta made his reference to the poison incident.
“Hey Tarble… remember that time? You know when we were looking for Vegeta and we stopped at the caravan?” Goku asked.
“I do… why?”
“Remember what you said that time before we went up to Bandit Hills?”
“… I remember…” Tarble took a glance at Goku.
“What was it, Tarble?”
“I said… I’d go with you… until such a time I’m either dead… or we’ve won… right?”
“Right” Goku nodded. “Vegeta’s right, Tarble… If you want to leave, I will respect your decision… but I don’t want you to leave over that incident. You still came through in the end… that says a lot about you. I believe in you and it’s you we travelled with, fought alongside; shared our ups and downs with…”
“Everyone…?” Tarble looked up, blinking back tears.
“I told you I don’t intend to lose a friend like you; that also meant to lose you altogether, not just because of death. We need a mage for this journey, but what we want is someone we trust; Tarble, that person is you. I hope you would be there to see it through with us to the end”
Tarble ran forward, feeling lighter than he had for days now and hugged the closest person, who also happened to be the one dearest to him; Goku. “Thank you…” he buried his face in Goku’s chest.
(Tarble is now a potential love interest)
(Goku and Tarble has scored +15 Love points, relationship improved)
(Vegeta and Tarble has scored +10 Love points, relationship improved)
“You travel with good company. Go with them if you want to, Tarble” Zarbon encouraged him gently. “I will stay here, clean up this mess and ready our people. The next time you call, we will be ready to fight by your side.”
(Gained Loyalty: Magic Guild)
(War Assets +15%)
“There is another matter that might be of importance. Just 5 days before you arrive, the man in charge of this assault left in a hurry after receiving a tip from one of his soldiers. I was unable to hear all of it, but I managed to make out a few words and I’m confident the general’s on his way to the Ranger Outpost. He left with haste, leaving half his men here and took off with the rest. That man is a ruthless bastard, please excuse my language; and while I do not wish to throw any of you in danger’s path, I cannot disregard there might be a reason for his untimely departure. That, and the possibility that he might burn the outpost to the ground as he had attempted here… whatever the reason for him to leave in a hurry, he had no time to do that and for that I am grateful. And I am aware of what he wanted of you, Tarble… he stole my messenger bird for that purpose. He would have killed all of us whether you helped him or not and I’m glad you didn’t do as he demanded”
“So am I… so am I” Tarble speak softly.
“Then our next destination is decided”
