Beefa stopped walking and quickly shove the wriggly worm/slug back into a Dyno Capsule. If Rapini didn't want to be near it nor have it used on Lottus, clearly apparent by how quickly she backed away from Beefa, Beefa was not going to use it. Instead, she'd pull out a Senzu Bean also tucked away in her stretched blouse jacket. She needed to answer Rapini though for her own heel turn nature she was expressing now. The giant Saiyan slouched over slightly and reached down with a massive hand to try and pat Rapini on her left shoulder. It was likely going to be rebuffed, but even if it was she'd state, "Yeah, I hate Lottus with all my guts but the fact that he got knocked into a coma is still rather concerning for me after all if he died from his wounds or never woke up I'd be rather bored. The reason being I'd have no one to taunt other than you and no one to fight on this dingy side of the planet other than Pars. I... don't want to fight him too much though as he's my-" she stopped there as she wanted to say something affectionate and it wasn't the Saiyan way. She knew she needed to be more Saiyan like so she held back her desire to blush too. Instead, she simply stayed quiet until the words Rapini said about "not being in competition with King Pars." sunk in. "Wait," she'd voice loudly, "I can confess my feelings to him then? Would he simply allow me to state my desire to be his girlfriend or even marry him in his presence?" Beefa's chest then swelled at the possibility of being the only Saiyan capable of being a lover of his until she decided to add, "Why then do you hate me?" It was an honest question she wanted answered. Lottus hated her probably because she was reckless and killed beings beyond a reasonable doubt in fights whether they were friends or foes. Yet she couldn't figure out why Rapini hated her. It might be more or less the same reason, but Rapini was a woman with her own opinions so Beefa wanted to hear them before she chose to help save Lottus' life for her. She didn't care she had lied before Pars about Rapini too much as it seemed when she was near the castle's entrance Rapini had come to the palace with the kind of obnoxious tone only desperate people possessed in order to save Lottus when she felt he should have died. That said, she definitely believed that the person doing the killing of him should have been her. She couldn't do that if Retasu got to him first. Thus she waited for her answer before letting the woman prattle on about the Beefa's suggestion before to clean up. Once that was said and done though Beefa followed Rapini to the healing chambers with her words about her own treatment methods for Lottus in mind. Beefa intended to cure him either with her slug or a Senzu Bean. She ducks under the doorway into the labs with her bulky frame and faces the doctor with determination on her face. "I'm going to feed this weakling a disgusting slug that will latch on his body, enter his brain and attach itself to his heart. From there the slug will spew out its inner juices onto the host and boost healing factors like our healing chambers within him. If he survives the potential heart attack that comes after this, well, we can say we cured him after his body throws up the parasite I'll be giving him." She gave the doctor in the room a thumbs up and stated, "I'm sure demon magic will be far better at saving him then these healing chambers are." She'd used them rarely in the past and while they felt relaxing the healing process was slow in her opinion. If Lottus wanted to be smashing in Retasu's head in any time soon it'd have to be quickened. Lottus

The elder doctor looks at Beefa, clearly put off by the Beefa's description.
"...My dear, you aren't making any sense." the doctor tells Beefa, in a flat tone. "I am very confused about how the process works. You feed it to him, and then it latches onto his body? And then it attaches itself to his brain, and then his heart? So how does this work? You stick it in his mouth, it crawls back out to latch onto his body, and then it detaches to drill into his brain? And then it moves on to latch onto his heart, and has the potential to give him a fatal heart attack? And then, somehow, he's somehow going to vomit the creature, when it isn't even located inside his stomach?"
The doctor shakes his head disapprovingly.
"I don't know what you are even suggesting at this point, nor do I even want to know where this nonsense came from." the doctor tells Beefa, "We have perfectly good healing equipment here, and it doesn't need to possibly give the one recovering a heart attack. I cannot and will not condone giving my patients unheard of treatments that are just as likely to kill the recipient as heal them. These chambers may take a few days to do their work, but there is no chance of harming the patient in using them. If you don't have a better way to speed up the process, I must ask you to leave and let us take care of Lottus' treatment ourselves."
Rapini walks down the hall leading to the showering rooms, resting the back of her head against her palms.
"What a weird girl..." Rapini mutters as she walks, referring to Beefa. "Talk about a chick with mood swings. She even throws around words like hate like she doesn't even understand 'em."
In truth, Rapini doesn't hate Beefa, and the girl's question seemed to come out of nowhere. As far as Rapini could tell, Lottus didn't hate the girl either, but he definitely didn't like her much. Disliked her would be the most accurate term here, but Rapini wasn't all that concerned about it. If the girl was so concerned about who does and does not hate her, then she was going to be paranoid for a long time.

"Well, the slug sort of shrinks and grows as it needs to," Beefa explained while stretching her arms out wide to her sides and then bringing them in closer like how a child might explain it. "This little worm creature is going to latch onto his heart and when all is said and down shrink down to a size that will let it pass through the blood stream. It will then circulate through the um lungs and head right up through our patient's throat as he violently coughs it up through his respiratory system." To put a long story short it would heal Lottus quickly but have a long journey to travel through the brain, heart and lungs. It was likely best for the doctor to push her idea to the side for it was pretty crazy. After all, it did have to travel through major points in the body just to get out even after healing the patient. But... that wasn't Beefa's plan in all of this. Not her real one! Beefa wanted to let Lottus suffer before he regained consciousness. The reason being his disdain for her really irked her because nobody ever openly said stuff to her in a negative mood. She wouldn't let them; save people close to Pars, which he wasn't one of. She'd always come back around and try to push a nasty plot or downfall onto a person that bothered her. Beefa sighed though and decided it wasn't worth it to torture Lottus this way as it was so obvious she was trying to cause him harm here before any good came of it. She rolled her eyes at the doctor and with one final word said, "It's only something a demon would do so just feed him one of those silly Senzu Beans I've heard of or do something else." She'd then turn on her heels and step out of the room ducking once more under the very small (in her current eyes) room's medical bay door. To a normal person it'd look twice their height but with Beefa strutting around the castle at her full height in a transformed state everything was small. She'd pick up on Rapini's ki after this and walk after her to the shower area with the intent of doing more stuff with her. After all, they still had a meal to go to and right now... "GURGLE! GURGLE! GURGLE!" Beefa quenched her stomach feeling her energy rate get consumed far faster than normal. She needed to eat a horse's worth of food or more soon or she'd be really hungry. Instead of going to the showers, her feet led her to the kitchen in the castle where her big frame shocked some Saiyans already sitting around eating in there. They looked up with their mouths full and some of them found themselves dripping their feasts down the front of their body armor as she passed. "That's the little girl or lady that can transform into a non-Saiyan! Why haven't they kicked her out already!" someone whispered loudly. But Beefa didn't have time to respond. She simply headed over to this particular person's table and snatched up up looked like a giant, cooked two-headed bird. Half of it was already eaten but she hunched over the rest and began devouring it until nothing but its rib cage was left. She then tossed the bones back onto the plate of this person who glared at her only to find as they started to stand up her fist was flying straight into their face. Beefa then sat down at the table they had been at and slammed her fists on it. "Food..." she growled, "I want any you can bring me." On the other side of the table the wounded Saiyan was knocked out but nowhere near as bad as Lottus. She remained there while hoping to see if Rapini might swing by and actually take them to a real restaurant/eatery. She really wanted to go and not as her normal self because this form was especially useful for in-taking the amount of meals she wanted today, even if it was awkward or annoying to herself and others.

The doctor shakes his head as Beefa leaves, arching a brow at his colleague.
"What was it she called the other thing? A bean?" the elderly doctor asks.
"Something like that, yeah." the scrawny doctor replies, heaving Lottus up to bring him back to the rejuvenation chamber. "Can't say I'm all that familiar with it though."
The doctors carefully place Lottus back into the chamber, and seal it shut once more. With the healing liquid rising once more, the doctors go back about their earlier tasks.
Rapini heaves a sigh as she dries herself off and pulls her under-suit back over her body. She tosses her bloodied battle jacket into an odd looking machine, and presses a switch after closing the lid. After a few minutes, Rapini retrieves her jacket from the machine, freshly cleaned, and finishes pulling on the rest of her uniform.
The young woman cracks her neck as she leaves the shower room, and makes her way down the hall. The sounds of some kind of scuffle catch her attention, pulling her towards the mess hall. To her surprise, Beefa could be seen accosting one of the Saiyan soldiers and scarfing down their food. Rapini grimaces at the sight.
"The hell is with her..? Gotta be the most ornery chick I've ever met." Rapini mutters to herself, standing at the doorway. "I swear, if it ain't about her, she's gotta make it about herself. Man, what a drag... Ah well, I guess..."
Finished complaining to herself, Rapini approaches Beefa. She stops, hands on her hips, and regards the still hulked-out hybrid with mild amusement.
"Oy, you done messing with people?" Rapini asks loudly. "Let's get going, I ain't having our competition in the army mess hall. You just follow me, and try not to get too impulsive, alright?"
With that said, Rapini gestures for Beefa to follow, and begins walking away. It would take a while to reach the eatery she had in mind on foot, so once Rapini gets outside, she flies off in the direction of the city outskirts. Beefa

Beefa turns away from her food and leaves a huge pile of bones on the table and a number of scared Saiyans around herself who are appalled at both her strength, temper, and food consumption. She stares down at Rapini who is speaking to her her and nods her head. "I'm all done. The food here's delicious and the company is nice but your place of choice is probably better." She then stands slapping her hand on the table and sends a small shock wave through the floor. After a few seconds, just to taunt those still not shocked by her, she hustles out of the room after Rapini and shrinks as she exits the door back to her normal size. When she's airborne she follows Rapini and notices her clothes are all stretched so snaps her fingers and refits them as well as repairs them of any tears mid flight. "It's so great having magic from my daddy..." she states to Rapini aloud in a whimsical tone. "I can get anything I want usually with the snap of my fingers as long as it isn't too big or complicated to bring to me in an instant. But... being someone with power is also fun." She giggles and adds, "With my mommy's genes I can literally take a person and toss them through a mountain if they cause me trouble. As you've already heard I beat up Retasu that King of the North so I was just wondering between us girls... What say you to potentially taking over this boring planet? I don't like Retasu at all and I'm sensing Mr. Lottus doesn't necessarily like Pars since he hired me. If you say, um, put me in charge, well, it would be easier to keep an eye on me." What she said was highly treasonous, probably, yet she wanted to initiate her future plans of running Daikondou now that she could feel that she was more than strong enough to wreck both Retasu and Pars. She thought Retasu was a worthy person to kill and while Pars was strong himself the person whom she thought was cute on second glance didn't feel like leader material to her. She wasn't sure how Rapini would think but perhaps she could cover it up with a chuckle and words of, "Oops, my mistake just some whimsical thoughts of what could have happened sort of thing." Lottus

Rapini watches as Beefa fixes her clothes, and shrugs at her when she giggles about having the magic powers.
"I dunno, magic's not something I really get. Stuff like that isn't typical for us Saiyans." Rapini replies. "Sure, having it is probably fun to some point, but it probably gives you problems too."
When Beefa asks about whether or not Rapini would help her take control, and then attempt to cover that up with a rather... unconvincing display of girlish charm, Rapini furrows her brows, and answers the question anyway.
"Look, if you wanna run up and make enemies outta King Pars and Retasu, then that's your deal." Rapini replies after a few moments of thought. "I don't think Daikondu is boring at all, and I sure as heck ain't interested in killing my way to the top, especially if it means killin' the people I'm supposed to be fighting for to protect 'em. And double especially if that's all that motivates you to aim for the crown and what not. Can't say I'd support you either, and I'm pretty sure Lottus wouldn't want to."
Rapini thinks hard before speaking more, crossing her arms as they fly across the sky towards their destination.
"I couldn't really tell ya how Lottus really thinks of King Pars, but I doubt he sees the King in a positive light." Rapini continues carefully. "King Pars took power with an outsider army, and without support from other Saiyans as far as I've been told. The southern regions haven't exactly been united before King Pars took power either, and a lot of us are still getting used to it."
Rapini glances at Beefa.
"And it ain't as simple as anyone 'putting you in charge', as you said it." Rapini tells the hybrid. "That ain't my job, and Lottus ain't interested in all this leadership business either. We're warriors, we fight, eat, sleep, and fight some more. Simple life, sure, but it's what we know and all we need. If you wanna take a crack at claiming the throne from King Pars, and put down Retasu, then you need to prove that you're worth following behind."
Rapini looks ahead of them, seeing the outskirts drawing closer.
"And I can't tell you how to make yourself worth followin'." Rapini finishes, her tone quite serious. "If you can't figure out what it takes to be a leader worth supportin', then you shouldn't even bother thinkin' about it. Anyway, looks like we're here..!"
With that, Rapini would slow her momentum, and descend to the ground below. The building is only modestly large, and the clientele are clearly much more removed from the supposed higher standards and so-called 'Noble' clans. These Saiyans are gruff looking, loud, raucous, and clearly enjoying themselves. Rapini opens the door, prompting several of the customers and staff to bark out muffled greetings through stuffed mouths, or in the staffs' cases, from behind the huge grill that takes up almost a full third of the building near the back.
Powerful smells and aromas of meats being seared and cooked, caked with various types of sauces would almost hit them upon entering the building. Tables are stacked with plates, bowls, and mugs as the Saiyans here gorge themselves on the food and drink. Rapini gestures for Beefa to follow her to a booth, and settles into place.
"Alrighty Beefa, I get you're used to all that fancy shmancy upper class stuff, but this is a real Saiyan eatery!" Rapini announces proudly. She turns to one of the waiters, who clearly looks more like a bouncer than anything else, and waves her arm at the huge Saiyan. "Oy! We've got empty bellies over here! Let's get crackin'!"
Rapini looks at Beefa, and raises a brow.
"Do me a favor, and don't get up and rough up the others here, I like eating at this place and it would be a real pain in the neck to have to find a different place to eat." Rapini warns, giving Beefa a knowing grin. Beefa

"I guess I will keep that in mind," Beefa stated as she flew beside her. Beefa did not want to jump the gun on becoming a queen of the whole planet necessarily. It would get her possibly killed if she didn't manipulate the right people. It felt like Rapini and Lottus might be good choices though for her to use in her conquest. When they landed Beefa continued to follow behind her until they stepped through the entrance of Rapini's favorite restaurant. She would sit down across from her at a table but look back definitely at the bouncer and a number of bigger, stronger looking Saiyans at the door. Even though Beefa heard Rapini's warning about not causing trouble she felt like she might have to cause just a little. The reason she wanted to was because, well, the place made her uncomfortable. She could feel her knees shake at the fact so many strong Saiyans were sitting around her and the smells of the food in the room were just as bad for her health. They made her nose get clogged with a terrible scent that caused her head to throb. She clutched her window's peak and uttered as her teeth gnashed in disgust, "Need... to... power up. Oh god, smells so bad and the man-manly presence here... Ugh. Place needs the touch of a woman, besides you dear Rapini." She smiled at her even though other women in the room were eyeing Beefa with the same jerkiness. She heard one cry out get the table near us some water first! There's a lady here about to die!" A loud "Bwhahaha!" soon followed from her compatriots and the next thing Beefa knew three complimentary mugs of beer landed in front of her as the shadow of a rather large Saiyan waiter hovered over her back. "DRINK!" the Saiyan stated identifying their as a rather heavy spoken male with an slight edge in their voice. Beefa peered over the edge of the mugs and noticed they were all the length of her forearm. "The hell is this?" she asked looking over to Rapini as she peered up over the top of the pint's rim. She really had not a clue what it was for even though she went out drinking this particular drink, in her eyes, was a deep shade of blue. Ale wasn't supposed to be that color. She'd lift it in both hands anyway, even if Rapini didn't tell her what it was, and take a sip. To her surprise it didn't taste bad at first but then- "Glurg!" "Glurg! "Glurg!" she felt and heard the sound of her stomach rumble before she coughed up a bit of her own blood on the table. Her mug dropped and she shook with digust. "THAT'S not normal!" she enunciated pointing at her own blood. "I shouldn't be puking up my innards!" This was not any normal beer and as a result it wasn't good on her half blooded immune system. The Saiyan behind her simply sighed and walked away muttering, "Clean up for your weak half pal. This establishment ain't seen one of her kind in forever, so yeah, drink her share as I'm sure none of are stuff's meant to kill and I ain't gonna' see it wasted on her." Whatever this beer was Beefa's body couldn't handle it and it was likely going to be the same with the food to an extent. The people here would have to make her weaker stuff. Lottus

Beefa immediately begins complaining about the place, but Rapini just shrugs indifferently.
"Dunno what you're on about. Place is fine to me." Rapini replies, watching the hybrid as she seems to have some kind of barely contained breakdown. "Try not being uppity, and relax. Ain't no one around that's gonna wanna deal with your 'BAM I'm big now!' quirk."
Surprisingly, a trio of large mugs are plopped on their table - a decent drink to whet their appetite before the meal. Rapini grins and pulls one of the mugs towards herself, laughing slightly at Beefa's indignant leer at the drinks and then at her.
"You know, I've never asked what this stuff is." Rapini replies before starting to chug the drink. She downs the alcoholic beverage like a champ, slamming the mug down and letting out a satisfied sigh. When Beefa suddenly has some kind of adverse reaction to the drink, Rapini raises a brow questioningly. "Ah right, you're one of those hybrid people. Must be you're allergic to something in the drink... Maybe."
When one of the other Saiyans mutters at Rapini, the Saiyan woman sticks her tongue out and pulls down on her left eyelid, mocking the indignant patron.
"Ah stuff it, ya mook!" Rapini barks at the other Saiyan as they walk away. Rapini pulls the second mug her way, and jerks her chin at Beefa. "Just whip up a drink of your own, if your stomach can't handle this stuff."
Within the next few minutes, trays laden with plates and bowls begin being placed and pushed onto their table. A veritable smorgasbord of food, as much as the table surface would allow, now sits between the two women. Rapini grins widely at the sight, slapping her hands together in a mock prayer.
"Oy! Put this on Lottus' tab, will ya!?" Rapini shouts to the staff behind the counter before turning to Beefa. Rapini has to lean to the right to see Beefa behind the mountain of food between them. Various types of rice, smothered with different spices and sauces rest on the outer rim of the banquet, surrounding larger plates of various charred animal meats, with the dead center of the table dominated by a huge tentacled beast that had been grilled and carefully drenched with a sweet-smelling, semi-solid liquid. "Alright Beefa, time to put your Zeni where your mouth is! Let's eat!"
Immediately, Rapini seizes several bowls and plates and begins devouring their contents with a reckless abandon of a person who had been starving for days. She shows a general disregard for basic table manners, plowing through her food and stopping only to wash the food down with her drink, only to practically shovel more food down her gullet.
---
A loud beeping from the rejuvenation chamber elicits an excited reaction from the elder doctor, who hastily sets the machine to drain. After a few minutes, the chamber hatch swings up and open, allowing Lottus to climb out of the machine. Drops of the healing liquid fall from his hair and form as the Saiyan steps onto a mat, allowing the doctors to run a few cursory tests.
"Good to have you back and concious again, but I had thought that it would take longer for you to recover." the elder doctor says to Lottus.
Lottus gazes at his hands silently for a moment, the fact that he is actually alive still sinking in.
"...How did I get here..?" Lottus asks as he takes a towel from the lanky doctor, and proceeds to dry himself off.
"Your partner, Rapini I believe, brought you here." the lanky doctor answers casually, moving to retrieve a fresh uniform for Lottus.
"Rapini did...?" Lottus mutters, surprised by this. Lottus thinks back to the battle, again seeing that terrible river of blue Ki raining down upon him, right before being consumed in its blinding light, and experiencing more pain than he'd ever experienced before. It doesn't take long for him to put two and two together - somehow, he survived the blast. And rather than leave him behind, Rapini made the effort to bring him all the way back here. He'd have to thank her, somehow.

"Ugh, I guess you're right. I'm going to need a need kind of drink." Beefa stated to Rapini as she watched her pull what was to have been one of her own drinks towards herself. Beefa sat up and quickly wiped the blood from her mouth and then snapped her right middle finger and thumb. Almost immediately a small bottle shaped like an hourglass appeared before her along with a small cup. It was Sake and something her father had gotten her to drink from a young age (even though she was not of age to drink even now) when he brought it from Other World. She took two or three sips of it before feeling a slight buzz and watched Rapini stare at her from behind a pile of recently served rice and meat. The one thing she saw when she looked at her was not one but two Rapini's staring at her from the same angle. Beefa grabbed one of the rice bowls before her and said, "I apologize for the messy eating style I'm about to display but please forgive me Rapini." Beefa totally ignored the fact that Rapini was already eating for while she could eat a truck load of food Beefa could not drink. That said, she decided to catch up to her and started by devouring the bowl of rice in her hands. She simply dumped the entire thing in her mouth and chewed. Three more bowls of rice followed as well and then she gnawed her way through a tentacle arm as well. Beefa's stomach stretched to accommodate the food at their table and few Saiyans at the restaurant for once eyed her with interest instead of disdain from their own tables. They hadn't ever seen a half breed Saiyan ever try to compete with a full blooded one like this. Beefa soon chowed her way through three more tentacles at and this point she stopped to get a breather. She looked down at her own stomach and smirked at it drunkenly as she realized she had eaten enough to turn it into the size of a space pod. "I need to catch up- hic!" Beefa voiced before reaching to grab more rice and other goodies. It certainly wouldn't be long before the table needed to be refilled with something to eat. Anything at all! Lottus

As the two Saiyan women eat, bowls and plates seem to stack on the side of the table endlessly, slightly annoying the staff who have to collect the dishes and place yet even more food as Rapini calls out for more.
"Eat how you wanna..!" Rapini replies between shoveling food in her mouth. She downs a bowl of greenish soup and sets the bowl down on the table with a clatter. She watches with mild interest as Beefa indeed whips up her own drink, and immediately becomes inebriated by it! "Hoo boy, someone's a lightweight..."
Rapini takes a large chunk out of the tentacled creature, and gnaws away at the crisp meat, the sauces making her mouth water even as she eats. Hopefully, Rapini thinks privately, this kind of thing would help get this hybrid to grips with her place on Daikondu. As Rapini eats, she mulls over a question for Beefa - perhaps since she's drunk, she'll be more forthcoming.
"Oy, Beefa, I know you weren't kiddin' earlier." Rapini says candidly after downing more of her own drink, completely ignoring the possibility of being overheard. "So I gotta ask - what would you do if you had that fancy title as ruler, anyway? Can't really be just because you're bored of the way things are. And even if you did manage it, what do you even know about our people? Simple crap like how fighting is our bread and butter ain't enough of an answer."
Lottus pulls on his new body glove, boots, bracers, and battle jacket as the doctors see to another Saiyan. The warrior touches his left hand to his chest; multiple scars now litter his chest and shoulders, and a single long scar runs from under his right eye and along down his cheek and neck - reminders of his arduous battle against Retasu. Normally, the healing fluids would heal fresh wounds and prevent scarring, but apparently there had been an interruption with his time in the chamber, allowing the scars to form.
Just as well, the Saiyan decides; the scars would be worn as a morbid trophy. Proof that he had fought against a King and survived, and serve as a permanent reminder to Lottus... He curls his fingers into a fist, and feels his body slightly shudder. His battle against Retasu had felt... somehow fulfilling. He had been terrified, and utterly elated at the same time during the entire back and forth. It made his blood boil! And not only did he survive the battle - it had not entirely been a one sided fight. Retasu didn't just arrive and mop the floor with the warrior, Lottus made Retasu take him seriously. He held his own against the Northern King.
And now... he could feel it. His survival came with an incredible boon - his power had grown. And not just a bit, it grew considerably. But this level would not satisfy Lottus - he felt the urge to grow even yet more powerful, to aim higher. He desires to surpass Retasu. To surpass King Pars. Lottus smiles to himself, feeling the excitement welling up within him; he doesn't care about thrones, or who rules what. He only wants to continue growing. The warrior leaves the hospital, but still feels his body having a bit of trouble. He had spent everything he had against Retasu, no doubt his body needed more rest before he could call himself recovered.
Lottus stands outside, feeling the breeze wash over him. His tail twitches for a brief moment before wrapping around his waist, and without a word, Lottus starts walking for the first place he knew Rapini would be, completely ignoring the need to report to King Pars what he had discovered during his battle against King Retasu...

Beefa gnawed through another tentacle as she listened to Rapini speak louder than she would have liked on the subject of her ruling. She quickly then put said like down when she felt she'd eaten enough and wiped her mouth off before answering her. Beefa was a clean Saiyan, as far as clean went for them, she wouldn't leave her face dirty for example if she could help it but definitely wouldn't mind burping in public. She felt like she actually wanted to let one out now but instead breathed in and then replied, "It's rather simple why I want to rule. Have you ever heard our Saiyan ancestry and history before? Male Saiyan fought him, Male Saiyan fought that. One main reason I'm bored with this place is not only do we have king candidates never finishing the wars they start, well, to be frank it's always about them and the men at their side I feel. I know we're strong women the both of us and their have been strong women in the past of Saiyan history but- and I say this strongly..." She'd pause before uttering, "One wrong step in the wrong direction for us ladies and our time in the spotlight is through. You see, we're kind of seen just as potential mates I think in the eyes of male Saiyans almost like those swanky human women." She'd then slam her fists on the table loudly and state, "Yeah, I know I dress like them and such from time to time and I don't fight like I mean it as a Saiyan would sometimes, but I'm coming to realize my cutie Pars is rather dull. I, oh I can kill King Retasu already by myself; if we hurry and he doesn't get stronger. Yet the thing is, um, I haven't cause I was saving it for Pars to do. I see it just needs to be done now by me so peace can reign. Your boss, while a little annoying, seems to want to get that job done too, but won't or can't." She'd breath in heavily and glare at Rapini with determination in her eyes. "I may be a half breed but full blooded, male Saiyans can never get the jobs they need to done. We'll be fighting the north forever if we don't break every bone in Retasu's body, bury him six feet deep and pulverize the grave site into dust. I can do that. Only I can can do that." Lottus

Rapini leans back in her seat, chewing away at her food as she listens to Beefa's take on things. She waits for Beefa to finish her speech before answering, and even then she takes a rather evasive stance.
"I dunno, never really cared about that stuff. Sounds more like an Earthling female's concerns, personally." Rapini replies, downing the chewed tentacle with a swig of her drink. "You're really not gonna get my ear bent to that kind of argument - I don't really care who is in charge, as long as they don't get everybody wiped out doing some stupid stunt."
This remark, if Beefa took the hint, was regarding Beefa's careless attacks that willfully caused the deaths of their own warriors - if a warrior died at the enemy's hands, that was considered to be either an honorable death, or a stupid death, depending on the circumstances. But when a warrior kills their own allies just because they can, well... Lottus had already given Rapini his opinion of how he viewed people like that.
"And Lottus ain't my boss, by the way," Rapini adds, in a somewhat salty tone. "He's my buddy; we've been fighting alongside since we were kids. Ain't been one time he's acted like my superior, and I ain't never been his inferior. 'Course, that said, he's way stronger than me, but that gap's just because he keeps getting himself messed up."
Rapini motions to the staff, who take away the empty dishes and supply them with another round of seared, sliced meats - barbecue by the smell of them - and generously smothered bowls of rice. And then, almost like an afterthought, Rapini poses a challenge to Beefa.
"And it's all well and good that you think you can kill Retasu, but Saiyan's don't just talk. If you've got the power, then you need to go through with it." Rapini tells Beefa. "If you can kill Retasu, then just do it, don't waste time posturing and saying you can, ain't nobody around the Southern Regions that are gonna take you seriously if all you do is say you can. Challenge Retasu yourself, by yourself, and prove you can beat him. But I've seen that guy in action, and he's no slouch. You'll have a way bigger challenge on your hands than you think you do."
---
Lottus eventually arrives outside the usual eatery he and Rapini frequent, and overhears mutterings and laughter - some of them seeming to be amused by some prim and properly dressed girl with silvery hair. Lottus grimaces, as he only knew of one Saiyan that fit the description. Still - his stomach growled loudly at him, especially when the scents of cooked food reaches his nose. Lottus pushes the entrance door open, and is greeted by the sight of a crowd of cheerful, bantering Saiyans. Towers of dishes are seen in the back, even as more foods are moved around the main floor.
Glancing around, Lottus spots Rapini and, to his surprise, Beefa. Lottus sets his jaw, and makes his way through the haphazardly placed tables and to the booth where Rapini and Beefa are seated. Rapini looks up, and a wide grin appears on her face.
"Oy! Look who's finally awake!" Rapini grunts, pushing over on her side of the booth, giving Lottus enough room to sit. Lottus wordlessly obliges, settling into the seat and looking over the still sizzling food. "Eat up, survivor! You're paying for this anyway!"
"Wha- again?!" Lottus says, looking over at Rapini with a mix of amusement and horror. "I thought you said that you would take the next bill..?!"
"Yeaaaaah... that was before you went and got all messed up by Retasu, ya loser." Rapini replies in a playfully challenging tone. "I had to carry you back like a sad sack of potatoes. You owe me at least another meal."
Lottus grimaces, but doesn't argue. After a moment, he grins and lets out a hearty laugh - a side of Lottus that Beefa most assuredly would not have seen before. Rapini notices the long, fresh scar carved from below Lottus' right eye, down his cheek, and almost the length of his neck, and furrows her brow - though she makes no further motion or statement about it.
Lottus reaches over, taking several plates of thinly cut pork slices bathed in barbacue sauce, and two bowls of rice. He mixes the dishes together and begins devouring the food, only showing Beefa acknowledgment after downing the dishes and getting a large mug of the blue liquid for himself to wash it down.
"You're the last person I'd expect to see here, or around Rapini for that matter." Lottus says to Beefa. The look in Lottus' eyes are sharper than when he looks at Rapini, showing a clear sense of distrust for the hybrid girl.

Throughout Rapini's entire monologue Beefa slowly finds herself annoyed. She raises an eyebrow at Rapini's non-concern over their position as female Saiyans in an empire run by incompetent men. She then begins to drum her fingernails on the table as she goes on about Lottus, Retasu, and her and how she needs to show them her power by doing the deed rather than speaking of it. She also hears a hint of distrust in Rapini's voice (at least that's what Beefa thinks it is) when she mentions her killing of other Saiyans off hand. This finally causes Beefa to really dislike her new friend just as Lottus comes in speaks with her, sits down and after some conversation starts taking on the same meat she'd just been eating with her new girl friend. At this point, Beefa slams her hand against the table and quickly rises from her chair as Lottus expresses full disbelief in his eyes over her being in the same room with Rapini. Her massively full stomach jostles the table as she finds its weight pulling her towards it and she grits her teeth. "I-I can't believe you'd say all these things to me!" she shouts. Her voice raises more and she continues, "I-I'm working hard out there culling our Saiyan species in an attempt to get only the strongest under my belt when I take power. I will do so, and it will be today, or I will rip every bit of stone apart in that stupid northern empire with my bare hands by the end of the year!" It's at this point she feels a need to show her power. Her demonic, ruby locket glows against her chest and a red aura covers her being. Muscle balloons from every part of her body from her neck down and the fatty looking, short woman rapidly returns back to her hulking transformation state. Many Saiyans glare at her as they find themselves interrupted from their meals by a giant, angry woman. "All Saiyans here! I am Beefa Baste and I will be your queen today! I will take out Retasu before Prince Pars does and when he is murdered insert my father's 1,000,000 year claim to this planet post haste!" What she was referring to was a time long ago when demons from the Demon Realm exiled her father to the Living Realm on account he caused trouble there they didn't want to deal with. When he got here though he found he'd been placed in the depths of the earth where he was made to wait out his days in boredom until Saiyans came about. They were interesting at first because they fought each other but years and years passed and he slowly came to find as he watched them from within the depths that they were boring people. Thus he decided to sleep until they either calmed down or he could wait to find a way out and eventually conquer the planet in his own way. Beefa had been born expressly for this purpose but in having her the demons from his own home clearly knew what he was up to. They took her away from him after she caused a small debacle alongside her mother. Both Beefa's parents went on their way to Hell and Beefa was left wandering the wilderness until the more uncouth Saiyan Pars had his subordinates recruit her for a multi-species army of half Saiyans. Beefa was grateful for getting this far thanks to Pars but now she was bored of it all. It was time to kill the northern army's silly king and when she was done with that depose of Pars or exile him. It was her time to shine as the queen of it all. Beefa had no plans to stick around so after her hissy fit yet again she tried to leave but looked back at Rapini, Lottus and the others as if to say to "Follow her." in her attempt to kill Retasu. LottusNote: I'm going to have Beefa move to another thread to fight Retasu unless we all want to do it here. I intend to make a death enabled thread though soon. Sorry for the wait though.

Beefa's statements take both Rapini and Lottus by surprise, but not in a good way. Both of the Saiyans' expressions turn from surprise to a venomous anger.
"Culling..?!" Rapini growls as she listens to Beefa's blasphemy. Both she and Lottus stand up when Beefa decides to hulk out again, with the two of them leaving the table, and Lottus stepping between Rapini and Beefa, his expression showing the half-breed girl just how little he thinks of her. All around them, other Saiyans, interrupted by Beefa's childish display, also stand and glare at her.
When Beefa makes the rediculous claim that her no-name father has some deluded claim over the planet, many of the Saiyans can't help but laugh at the girl's insane declaration. Not one Saiyan takes the hulked out Beefa seriously, some even sitting back down, dismissing her as a psychopath. Lottus takes two steps towards Beefa, glaring at the half breed with a mixture of hated and distrust.
"You are a delusional fool. You are not worthy of ruling anything, much less your undeserved claims." Lottus replies, not intimidated by her form - he'd seen her using it constantly as a way to intimidate, and now it mean't nothing. "But if you want to face Retasu, then be my guest. But you will face him alone, and there won't be anyone there to save your wretched hide."
Lottus' fingers curl into fists, and the Saiyan grits his teeth.
"Even if you did somehow win, I would NEVER follow a prissy, unhinged rat like you, who has no issue killing her own allies!" Lottus barks, getting several of the Saiyans who had lost interest to look over at them again. "Beat it! You're no Saiyan, and you're not fit to rule mud. I hope Retasu gives you what you have coming."
Rapini looks at Beefa, her eyes showing utter disappointment in Beefa - she had tried to reach out to the girl, and the half-blood only seemed to grow more unhinged. Being insulted by things that aren't even an insult, and her constant mood swings, show that Beefa was a lost cause. Rather than add to Lottus' angry bellowing, Rapini just turns her back on Beefa and takes another long swig of her drink. Beefa

"I suppose then I'm going to have to go and beat you all up next. I'm sorry Rapini and Lottus but that's how it'll have to be unless I change my mind." Beefa stated turning to look at them with pure rage in her eyes. For a moment the nine foot tall woman got even bigger. She towered over them in the most bizarre way ever for her body's energy output caused her to grow a foot tall just for a moment causing the giant woman to have to look down at all their faces even more than usual. "Seems I can get bigger," she says aloud to all the Saiyans there. "If I can get bigger and retain this mostly human physique rather than turning into a dumb Oozaru I have an advantage over you all. I'll crush you all if I choose to later and make you all serve under me. But for now, I'm going to rid all of us of this planet's dumbest problem. King Retasu!" With that'd she'd turn and leave the room as her nine foot tall self and head for the landing. It was time to rule this planet by destroying its dumbest leader. It was time to make her stake on this planet. LottusNote: I'm going to turn this in now.
