At an unknown place, at an unknown time and planet. A silver looking ball appeared.

"Hey boss look at what I just found" a bandit like figure suddenly spoke.

"What ? Where?" Another voice was heard.

The bandit pointing with his finger at a small crater "There".

*A group of people's voices were heard in a lush forest*

"Hmm ? Now what's this ? Some plain old silver... ball ?"

"Think it can sell for anything?"

"Why not take it, and if it doesn't sell, maybe I have it."

"No way Rogu ! You tricked us a few times in the past. We learned our lesson, you ain't getting anything."

The person called Rogu seemed a bit irritated.

"Hey, you talk like it was my fault you lost that bet." Rogu said with a small hint of mirth.

"Do you really miss your dead brother that much ? How about visiting him !" The person answered with anger.

"There is a fine line between life and death, careful when you cross it bastard !" Rogu said, his voice radiating killing intent.

"Ok guys, this has drawn out for a bit too long, stop it, before I make you" a person sounding like the leader spoke up, in that heated moment.

"Yes mada- I mean Miss Rachel." Rogu spoke, his previous air suddenly gone without a trace.

 "You too Zarth !" Rachel spoke.

"Yes, I mean I'm stopping !" The guy who was arguing with Rogu, Zarth said, his backbone nowhere to be seen.

"So the question remains. What do we do with this?" Rogu finally voiced his question.

"What else other than selling it, idiot." Zarth answered, almost with anger, but managed to stop himself at the last moment. Had he not, he knew how terrifying leader could get, should he ever disobey her.

"Well I wasn't exactly thinking of that. Selling it wouldn't provide us with a lot of money anyways. Besides it doesn't seem just like an ordinary silver ball. So why not keep it Rogu? I still haven't paid back my lost bet." Rachel said with a kind voice, that would be said to be sweeter than honey, but with the taste of crap. Clearly she wasn't too happy about losing, but this moment seemed too great to miss.

And so the silvery round ball went to the hands of Rogu.
