>"Maybe it was the legendary super saiyan!? This looks like their work!"
>"Yeah, this is definitely something else."
>Head toward the crash site and view it from above. Try not to get a face full of smoke.
>"The legendary super saiyan?!" Hatate roars back, as her hair flies up into physics-defying spikes. "That can't be! Lord Freeza said that was only a myth!">You note that Hatate's ears are twitching slightly. She'd never admit it, but that's a trait she and Aya share: their ears twitch when they get near a big scoop. A hero like you notices these things.
>"You think this could be another one of those...
incidents, boss?" Hatate's flunky asks her excitedly. Hatate's answering grin is practically predatory.
>"If it is, Fuu, then we might just get the drop on Aya, for once!"
>She actually flies out ahead of you as the four of you home in on the crash site, anxious to finally get the better of her journalistic rival. Unless Aya's been there and gone, but no need to menion that to her, it'd ruin her day.
>Following the debris trail and the smoke eventually leads you to.... No way. No WAY. It's a large silver-colored object, highlighted by green and blue stripes, and it looks, for all the world, like a flying saucer. In fact, it looks virtually identical to the flying saucers in the intro to that old famicom RPG you used to play, Earthbound, just smaller. Albeit a flying saucer that looks like it's been shot to hell; gouges and blast marks riddle the superstructure, and the 'dome' in the middle is half gone, likely by an explosion of some sorts. The ship is the source of the smoke, so something inside is still burning, or at least on fire. A large piece of wreckage to the right of the machine is also on fire.
>The smoke is blowing your way with the wind, but you're the freakin' wind priestess. A simple gesture diverts the smoke from you and your comrades. The smell of the fire remains, though, as well as faint hint of brimstone and... curry?
>Two figures are in evidence standing by the left side of the machine. They both appear to be humanoid, but you can't quite make out anything distinct about their forms from here.
>At first, Hatate seems to accelerate again, but then she hesitates, and slows down again, her eyes fixed on the two figures. Her expression, puzzled.
