Rou Dai Kaiōshin's Dark Secret

Foreword

With Goku gone, and no super powerful defenses except for Vegeta at its disposal, Earth prepares for the fight of her life against a gruesomely powerful villain. Can the Z Fighters handle this battle without Goku? Only time will tell…

Chapter 1: The Future Under Seize

An explosion erupted from the Capsule Corporation, and from the debris flew Trunks high into the sky. He turned around and gained control quickly before releasing a powerful ki wave. No effect. Whatever was chasing Trunks was a powerful being, obviously one which Trunks could not handle alone. –This is my last chance to stop it, Trunks thought to himself.

"And I won't FAIL!" he shouted raising his power to his greatest Super Saiyan form. The clouds grew dark and began to encircle the area as if they danced around this very battle. Trunks began to shoot a barrage of ki blasts, destroying Capsule Corp. and the surrounding area in the process. –Good thing I evacuated everyone from this area, he thought. Finally, believing that he had won the battle, Trunks ceased fire and took a moment to catch his breath.

The smoke from the explosion began to rise higher and higher, and a large beam of light emerged from it. The single beam separated into hundreds of flashing beams, which resulted in a monstrous explosion.

"It can't still be alive," Trunks said in awe and disbelief. A black, beastly humanoid emerged from the smolders and charged toward Trunks high in the sky. Trunks braced himself for impact and closed his eyes tight, but felt nothing as he should have. He opened his eyes and the humanoid was gone.

"Behind you, boy," the beast whispered. Before Trunks could turn around, the beast had absorbed his strength and energy and without a moment's notice, knocked the young saiyan into a nearby building. Without his strength such an impact was apparently fatal, but Trunks had some reserves to protect him against the collision.

Meanwhile, on Kaiōshin's planet, Kibitokai noticed the disturbance in the parallel universe on Elder Kai's mystic ball.

"Ancestor, who is this beast that terrorizes the alternate universe?" Kibitokai asked. Elder Kai stood to his feet and walked over to glance at the ball. A feeling of uneasiness befell the old Kaiô when he saw the face of the menace disturbing the universe.

"I have longed feared this would happen," Elder Kai whispered to himself.

"What's wrong?" Kibitokai asked.

"It's complicated really…you wouldn't be interested, in fact--"

"Ancestor, what's going on? Do you know who or what this thing is?"

"Yes, he is Jinzōuningen Kaioshin, or more infamously known as Kaidroid. You see, before my enemy trapped me in the Z-Sword, I made plans to construct another Kai to take my place in case anything should happen,"

"Ah, like a duplicate, or a clone!"

"Yes, but you see the difference was that I gave the android life with some of my own life energy. This made him beyond android; it made him a real Kai. But Kaidroid was disobedient, he played by his own rules and with each passing day, I noticed his powers increased ten fold,"

"Wow, he rebelled against you didn't he?"

"Yes, and I was forced to put him an unoccupied universe of his own to rule. However, we found out that his power had increased so much, that he could literally skip between universes without the need for accompanying machines,"

"So he could just go back in time without a time machine?"

"Not only that, but he also possess the powers of a Kai, to create galaxies, and to absorb energy from living organisms…he is undoubtedly my most horrid creation,"

"Where do you suppose he will go next?"

"Wherever he can to get to me," Elder Kai spoke softly.

Back in Trunks' universe, Kaidroid descended to the ground and walked over to the site of the building Trunks crashed into. Trunks could hear the footsteps get louder and closer, and his heart began to pound wildly. With no energy, if he was found he would be unable to defend himself. Silence. A rattle from afar. Kaidroid blasted the source of the noise with a beam of energy which exploded rather rapidly. It was nothing more than a squirrel.

"He's probably dead," Kaidroid said aloud. And after taking a deep inhale, Kaidroid let out a monstrous yell which opened a portal to another universe. "And now it's your turn…Rou Dai Kaiōshin."

Next: Unsatisfied Appetite

In the next chapter…

The legendary Kaidroid enters the universe containing his creator and foe, Rou Dai Kaiōshin. But before he can reach his goal, he must go through Vegeta, Gohan, Uub and surprisingly enough the reborn Gotenks.
