Author's Notes: Now, you may be thinking, "hold it, he hasn't finished the original fic, and he's already starting a sequel?" Nope. This is more of a side-story, rather than a true sequel... But it'll act as a sequel later. You'll see.

Chapter 1: Birth

Day 1 of Project Legendary:

I've done it. Project Legend has been born.

The creature stirred from its slumber, waking for the very first time. Nothing but liquid surrounded him, making the being wonder where he was. His eyes slowly opened. Two figures he could see, but his vision was blurry. But they were talking. "Well, he's finally awake... Sure, he looks tough, but..."

"Trust me, he has the potential to become the strongest being on this planet! It's only a matter of time."

Before his vision could clear, he blacked out.

He only stirred for less than a minute. Yet so incredible... So I decided to let him out.

The being hit the cold, wet floor. Coughing up the liquid that had previously sustained him in the chamber, he struggled to get onto his hands. He wiped his eyes, as he looked up at the figure standing over him. "How do you feel, being able to breathe for the first time?"

The being blinked. The man standing in front of him had a strange choice of black and red clothing, but his grey moustache was rather impressive. Somehow, he could understand this man's words, and somehow was able to speak for the first time. "I..."

The man watched with interest, as the being rose to his feet, slowly becoming more and more comfortable with his posture. It was now obvious that the being was taller than the man by at least a foot. The room was dark, due to only a single light illuminating it.

"Now, I will explain everything. My name is Doctor Eggman Nega. I created you."

The creation raised an eyebrow, acknowledging his creator's identity. "Doctor… Eggman... Nega? Who am I?"

Eggman Nega smiled, before he answered this question. "You are Project Legend. You are a Sayian, a member of a long-near extinct race. Before I say anything else, I want you to try these clothes on... After all, you're not going to be standing around stark naked all the time."

Soon after, Project Legend was standing in front of a large mirror, intrigued by his own appearance. Part of his black hair was tied back behind his head. A semi-robe covered most of his lower torso and his legs, as well as bronze boots. "Not bad, I suppose."

Eggman Nega cheerfully admired his creation. "Wonderful! Now, there is someone who I'd like you to meet. She will be your training partner. I'm sure you'll get along like a house on fire."

Legend turned around, to see a young woman standing at the door. What species she belonged to would be terribly difficult to tell, though she seemed like combination of a cat and a hedgehog. Mostly black and with red eyes, most of her body parts had red stripes on them. Several dread-like quills went down the back of her head, each with a red stripe. A white vest she wore on her chest with a green emerald attached to the front of the vest, her shoes looking rather high-tech, and she had three rings attached to her tail.

"Meet Project Mirage. I created her as well. She's obviously nothing like you in physical terms, but I'm sure you'll get along like a house on fire. Oh, dear, I said that twice, didn't I? If you excuse me..."

Nega was quick to dash out of the room, leaving the two alone. Both projects stared each other in the eyes, creating tension on who was going to speak first. Mirage smiled, taking a step forward. "So... The Legend breathes for the first time. Pleased to meet you."

Legend flexed his muscles, studying Mirage. "Another... Project? What exactly are you?"

Mirage slowly turned to the side, looking straight at the wall. "A Hedge-Cat. The doctor gave me the pleasure of naming my own unique species, but I am also what is called an 'Ultimate Life Form', as well. I was created to be able to control the power of Chaos, with this..." She turned back towards Legend, looking down at the gem on her vest. "This is a piece of the 'Master Emerald'. Using this, I can fulfill my purpose... To destroy my other counterpart, Shadow the Hedgehog, whose blood I was created from."

Legend somehow understood all this talk, besides his lack of understanding of Chaos, and his unfamiliarity with Shadow. "Interesting."

Mirage then lead Legend out of the room, to a bright corridor that expanded to other parts of Nega's laboratory. "As much as I'd like to test your skills, Nega instructed me to not do so till tomorrow. You have to get used to your body, after all."

"What skill? What exactly can I do?"

Mirage lead Broly to a balcony. The entire laboratory was situated on a island in the middle of nowhere. The ocean view was absolutely beautiful. "You'll find out. I wanted to show you this, first. Isn't the outside world-"

"Incredible? I can hardly believe my own eyes, myself."

Nega peeked out from behind the door, laughing. "Indeed... Oh, there's something on the news that's just come on. It's interesting, that's for sure!"

A television screen appeared from out of the wall, showing the assault on the HQ of the Raving Rabbids. Mirage groaned, as she watched. "Bunnies. That's just pathetic..."

As soon as she said that, a bunny came screaming out the door, with a plunger. "DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-"

WHAM. Legend kicked the little bugger into the horizon. Realizing his own strength, Legend whistled. "I didn't know I was this strong..."

Nega was very entertained. "I don't know where the Rabbid came from, but your natural Sayian strength was quite a sight!"

Legend stared his creator in the eyes. "Doctor… What is the Sayian race? Am I the last member?"

Nega shook his head to the last question. "The Sayians were a proud race, feared throughout the cosmos. However, their planet, and most of their own species, was destroyed by an even more powerful being… Whose power was nothing compared to yours. Only a few Sayians survived the catastrophe, due to pure luck. These remaining survivors and their children live here on Earth. I gathered your DNA from the remains of the planet Vegeta."

Legend understood all this, looking back out to sea. "I wonder if I may meet these fellow Sayians…"

Author's Notes: Ah, goody. Now, Mirage is certainly a fan-character, but Legend certainly isn't. He's a DBZ character with a mostly re-worked backstory, and he didn't appear in the manga, making such a thing much easier to achieve. If anyone can guess who he is, I applaud you.
