Videl was just here for a nice relaxing swim in frigid ocean water. Climate controlled pools were great and all, but they had nothing on the cold, merciless ocean. Half the struggle of survival swimming in an emergency situation was dealing with cold shock, and Videl wanted to test her limits. (And also, it wouldn't hurt if her boyfriend noticed how great this swimsuit looked on her. He wasn't usually perceptive of these things.)

Her plan was all well all good until she reached the shoreline and saw the large black -- dinosaur? Reptile? Winged…. thing? -- frolicking in the surf. The sight gave her pause. Sure, she'd seen dinosaurs before back home -- but not frequently, since she grew up in cities and dinosaurs seemed to shy away from civilization.

Not far from Videl, closer to the creature than her, lounged a man she recognized only as a fellow Legionnaire. “You not scared of the wildlife?” she ventured.
