Amigos! I actually have no backstory to this, surprisingly. I just thought this story up and just began writing and voila, here it is. Though there's no backstory, that doesn't mean I posted this impulsively as I do have a few notes or ideas on where to take this and such. And yes for those of you that are tired of Saiyan stories, it's another one. And for those of you that love Saiyan stories, I'm not going to leave this unfinished. There are too many of these that have gone unfinished. Now, I'm not going to promise a weekly update because my real life is too busy for that. But, I can promise to finish it.
Summary-What if when the Saiyans invaded, they had another Saiyan along with them? What if this Saiyan held a power within himself that traces all the way back to the Original Super Saiyan? What if this Saiyan was also the Prince's youngest brother?
Disclaimer-I do not own the Dragon Ball series, but I do own this OC and his backstory and the entire idea surrounding him.
Chapter 1:
Age 761-Planet Shikk-
"Ack!"
"Ugh!"
"Ahhh!"
THUD
THUD
THUD
"Hmph, weaklings" muttered a young man in his 20s as he stared at his 'competition'. Three red alien-like creatures with four arms each and two legs, though a couple of their limbs were bent at an odd angle and there was a green-like sustenance leaking from them.
The young man stood at a decent height of 5'10, with a muscular build, along with a muscular chest and broad shoulders. He has tanned skin and short, spiky black hair with a red tint.[Short A/N: Think Natsu Dragneel Hair but diff color].
He also has a narrowed angular jawline and menacing-looking black eyes.
He's wearing a sort of battle armor, a blue and silver chest plate, with black combat pants, long dark silver armbands, and leg warmers, and silver and black boots.[Short A/N: Bardock's armor, just diff color scheme]
He also has a sort of device over the left of his eyes.
Suddenly the device beeped, catching his attention as he moved his hand and pressed a button on the side.
"Callion, come in." he heard through.
"Yeah?" the now named Callion said.
"We're done on our end but when we tried to contact Raditz, we received a static interruption. Check his last coordinations. He may be a weakling but he is one of our race's last weaklings."
"I'll check on him, but I'm not promising anything," Callion said before he blasted off into the air following the reading he was getting through his scouter.
As he drew closer, he could see pink blasts lighting up the sky, signaling that his comrade was currently in the middle of a battle.
As he got closer, he saw who he suspected to be Raditz, surrounded by more of the beings he killed. The beings stood at a different height, but most predominately around 6'4, with huge muscular builds. And four arms and two feet each. Lastly, their skin was red with black strips.
As Callion watched as his comrade battled against them, he pressed the scouter again as numbers began counting up as he looked at each of the red aliens.
"3,746; 3,785; 5,210; 2,333; 6,780; 8,567" Callion continued commenting as he evaluated each enemy before finishing, "The strongest reins at 10,744. Weak." Callion commented idly before he stuck his hand out as a ball of green energy began gathering in his hand.
With his other hand, he pressed the button on his scouter once more, "Raditz jump in the air immediately." he said firmly.
It didn't seem as if Raditz had heard which as he looked closer, he noticed that Raditz scouter was missing.
"So that's why..." he said as the energy died in his hand.
"Another Saiyan scum, huh?" a voice said behind Callion before he effortlessly turned slightly and caught the strike and saw it was one of the red aliens, "You never should have attacked our home planet, here we are the Gods that reign supreme." the man gritted out as he tried to push his hand further at Callion, whose hand hadn't budged from keeping it at a distance.
Still holding the arm, he pressed the scouter and saw the alien's battle power was at 7,646. A respectable battle power, honestly. Just not near his.
The alien didn't even see the knee strike coming that nearly made him black out due to the power behind. Nor, could he see the blast that ended his existence.
"You bastard!" another voice shouted at him, making him turn around to see a couple survivors floating behind him, glaring at him. Though, they were also shaking.
"You killed him in cold blood!" the other shouted. By their voices, they sounded kind of younger than the others.
"Heh, well better he dies now than when we blow the planet up," he revealed with a malicious grin as the aliens seemed to shake even harder.
"W-why are you doing this?! We didn't do anything to you or your people!" the first one yelled.
"Sorry," Callion began, though his tone held little to no actual remorse, as he raised his hand back up, medium sized sphere of swirling green energy in hand, "But that requires more time than you have," he said before shooting the ball of energy that was too fast before either could react. They weren't even able to scream as the ball enlarged enough to swallowed them up and when it died down, nothing was left.
When Callion looked back down at Raditz, he saw his comrade was now on the losing end as he defended fiercely against the multiple attacks.
Time for him to join the fray...
-xXx-
With Raditz-
If there was one thing that pissed Raditz off more than anything, it's being reminded that he was one of the weaker remaining Saiyans in existence.
And considering all of his comrades were tons of stronger than him, he was reminded of it almost every day.
First, there was Nappa, a mid-class Saiyan who, before the destruction of their race, was actually assigned to be the bodyguard of the royal family. And earning that spoke immensely of just how strong he was. He liked to remind Raditz of his weaker power level more than anything despite the fact that he wasn't even close to the strongest out of all of them. Last time Raditz checked his power level, it was at 4,000.
Then there was Prince Vegeta, a High-class Saiyan. Of course being the Prince, it kind of was expected that he be one of the strongest remaining. He'd been off the planet-conquering another planet with Nappa, at the time of their race's destruction. Last time his power level was checked, it was at a staggering 18,000. As expected.
And lastly, comes the anomaly. As Raditz has come to know him as...Callion. Or his official title, Prince Callion. Though, he doesn't seem to act like his older brother, Vegeta, as he hates being called that. And though they are brothers, and they may act the same a few times, they couldn't be any more different.
Like his brother, Callion doesn't like or respect weaklings. Unlike his brother, he does appreciate his comrades, even him. Like his brother, he has extreme confidence in his skills. Unlike his brother, he's not blinded by his superiority in the belief that no one is stronger than him. Like his brother, he has pride in their race. Unlike his brother, he also knows his race is mostly gone except for them and has accepted it. Though that also could be because he wasn't raised around the rest of their race like they were, he is the youngest out of the entire group.
Last time he checked, his power level was around the same as that Zarbon guy...
"Ugh!" Raditz groaned as he was knocked into and through a giant rock. "Damn it" he cursed as he stood back to his feet, shakily, as he watched their formation once more surround him.
"You Saiyan scum have always attacked those that weren't able to defend themselves." one of the aliens said as he grinned smugly at Raditz, "So, we've been training ourselves for the day any of you believed us to be easy targets. Now, it will be you who will become extinct." he said before frowning as Raditz barked out a laugh, "What is so funny, monkey?"
"Heh, I just find it funny that you believe that you could possibly eradicate our race when your race itself is so full of such weaklings," Raditz said and instantly was shut up as the next thing he knew, one of the four arms of the alien was in his gut.
"You seem so confident for one on the losing end of the spectrum," he commented to Raditz who spat out some blood before he gripped his forearm.
"Y-you're right. I am losing and as much as I hate this fact, I'm not even close to as strong as any of my comrades whose besides one, their power levels are on a completely different level than any of you could imagine," he said with a bit of a bloody grin.
"In fact, I'd imagine most of your race is dead already." he continued as the alien scowled at him.
"All the more reason to kill you quickly and go help whoever is left. Goodbye," he said as he brought his head up and started to bring it to Raditz head...
"Ughhh!"
All activity stopped as the groan was heard out throughout the area...Only, it didn't come from Raditz. No, it came from one of the other red aliens as everyone looked at them...only to see the bloody hand sticking out through his chest.
"What the-" before any of them could even think of reacting, a green sphere of energy was suddenly launched from the hand and collected two more aliens as their screams were the last thing anyone heard before they all ended just as suddenly as they began with a scorch mark being the only evidence of anything happening.
"And there goes one right now," Raditz commented as he stepped back to the boulder and basked in the horrified expressions of his enemies as they watched 3 of their own be quickly murdered without hesitation.
As the body fell to the ground, they all saw Callion standing there one arm covered in green blood all the way up to his elbow.
"You were taking too long, Raditz," Callion chided.
"Well, it seems like they're stronger than I thought," Raditz said.
"Then why did you not transform?" Callion asked.
"I haven't been given the chance, they know about our tails and won't let me send a blunt waves orb out."
"Tsk," Callion said before he noticed the others expressions changing from shocked/horror to anger as what he'd done seemed to set into them.
"Y-you monster!" one of them cried out at him and stiffened as Callion shrugged with an uncaring expression.
"It runs in the family," he said before he disappeared and then appeared in front of him with his fist cocked back, the alien only had time to widen his eyes before the fist connected to his jaw and his body was rocketed backward, flying before he crashed onto the ground, creating a trench as well.
He didn't stop there as he next appeared overhead the downed alien before two green energy blast appeared in his hand and he raised his arms back before throwing them forward again...
"Eraser Cannon" he yelled out as a large green sphere of energy shot from his hands before connecting with the downed alien...
[BOOM!]
Raditz had to cover his eyes as once more it seemed like his comrade's bloodlust has taken over if he used that much energy just to kill someone who was already out of the fight. It seemed like it was one of those days.
The other aliens once more had lapsed into a state of shock as they watched one of their own killed in such a merciless way. They quickly snapped out of it as they noticed Callion land onto the ground nearby with a smirk on his face.
"There, all the weaklings should be taken care of. Now everyone of you have a battle power of 5000+, I hope you don't disappoint me." Callion said, "And word of warning, I suggest you use teamwork because otherwise, you'll die a lot quicker than I'm ready for you too."
"Callion!"
All heads snapped towards the air as the shout went out through the area as two new figures appeared.
One of the figures a tall and muscular man. He stands just a bit shorter than Callion at 6'10, with a bald head and thin mustache. He's wearing the typical Saiyan armor that Raditz is wearing with his monkey tail being used as a belt as well. This is Nappa.
The other figure is a man significantly shorter than all of them. He has a slim yet well-built build. His hair is black, spiky and it firmly stands upwards and has a prominent widow's peak. Along with wearing the Saiyan armor, he also has a dark blue, full-bodied jumpsuit with white gloves and boots. This is Prince Vegeta.
Callion looked at Vegeta in annoyance as he was interrupted, "What?"
"I told you to find Raditz and kill the survivors, not toy around with them," Vegeta said as Callion sent him a sneer.
"I finish them my way," he said.
"That may be but we don't have time for you do things, your way. So stick to my way and finish them off!" Vegeta ordered as Callion's sneer turned into a full scowl.
That was another thing, they barely tolerated one another.
Callion tsked before he suddenly disappeared and appeared back in the air with his hands glowing again, "Eraser Volley" he yelled out as he suddenly threw his hands down repeatedly towards the ground, with a different ki blast leaving his hand.
"That idiot!" Vegeta growled as he and Nappa instantly jumped in the air to avoid the attack.
"O-oi!" Raditz yelled as he too managed to jump away just in time as the first ki blast rained to the ground, creating a massive explosion that only increased as more and more blasts hit the ground, catching the unfortunate aliens who weren't fast enough to avoid the raging Saiyan's destruction.
The rain of destruction continued for an entire 5 minutes before they stopped and it took almost just as long for the smoke to finally clear out and reveal an empty wasteland of destruction and a crater that went so far deep within the planet, Raditz could see firey cracks leading out of it, telling him the blasts had reached to the center of the planet.
"Vegeta!" Raditz called out at the scowling Prince.
"I know" he interrupted before turning his back to the destruction, "We leave now or else he'll kill us all as well," he said before blasting off with Nappa following shortly after.
Raditz took that moment to spy the destructive Saiyan just hanging above them all like with his eyes locked solely on the crater with a frown on his face.
Swallowing, Raditz called out to him, "Callion!" he said but the Saiyan gave no indication that he heard him but Raditz continued, "We're leaving!" he finished before seeing if he'd respond but still no reaction so he just decided to fly off, knowing he'd eventually follow.
Callion had no idea how long he stayed looking at that crater but if the quakes from the planet were an indication, he'd say too long.
Wordlessly, he shot off in the direction of his comrades, leaving nothing but destruction in his wake...
-xXx-
Planet Frieza 79-
"...And now we're here." Vegeta said, giving his final report to their Emperor, and he uses that term loosely, Frieza.
"So it seems as if your adventure was exciting." Frieza said with a taunting smirk before he waved his dismissively, "Take a few hours rest and then head back out." he said as the four left the throne room.
As they walked out, Frieza's eyes stayed on Callion's back with a calculating look in his eyes...
As they walked out and down the hall, Vegeta suddenly grabbed Callion and slammed him into the wall, which to anyone who paid attention would look hilarious considering the height differences.
"What the hell was that out there?" Vegeta growled at Callion who gave him a frown, "I give you an order and you damn near blow the planet up with us still on there?!"
"I knew what I was doing. If I wanted to kill you, I would have already. " Callion snapped back as Vegeta kept a hold of him.
"You are running on thin ice, Callion. Thin ice, brother or no brother, I give you an order, you follow it as if your life depends on it because, by this point, it almost does!" Vegeta yelled before Callion suddenly grabbed his brother by the armor and slammed him into the wall.
"In case you've forgotten brother. Out of the two of us, I am the strongest. Remember that." Callion growled back before he released Vegeta and stormed off with Vegeta glaring at his back heatedly.
-xXx-
Later-
Callion set in his room, lying on his cot, staring up at the ceiling with a frown on his face as the confrontation between him and his brother ran through his head.
No matter what he did, he could never get his brother's approval. For anything.
He'd spent most of his life trying but every time it seemed like he'd earned just a little recognition in his brother's eyes, something or another would set them back to being at the other's throat.
And he hated it.
He didn't understand how it was that the person he was supposed to be the closest to was actually his biggest enemy. They were coming closer and closer to the day they would come to blows and Callion just knew when that day came, a lot of blood would be shed and whatever bond they have as siblings would completely shatter.
Which he absolutely wanted to avoid because as much as Vegeta was a pain in his ass, he was his last relative. At least closest one to him.
His mind briefly wondered how his other older brother was or if he was anything like their oldest brother...
[Knock, Knock]
"Come in" he called out as he set up to see Raditz come in, "Is it time to set out, already?" Callion asked.
"Not for you but for me, yeah," Raditz said as Callion raised an eyebrow at him.
"What are you talking about?" Callion asked.
"Well, it's just occurred to me that the coordinates here are actually close to a planet called Earth." Raditz said as Callion nodded, "Well, I just remembered that my brother, Kakarot, had been sent to Earth just before Planet Vegeta's destruction to conquer it."
"I'm not seeing your point."
"I was just thinking, maybe we could bring him with us to help us conquer the next planet," Raditz explained as Callion scrunched his brows up.
"Wait, isn't Earth one of the lowest tier planets in this region of the galaxy?" Callion asked, trying to rack his brain to remember what he'd read about it.
"It is, but having one more Saiyan with us couldn't hurt. Plus, he could help us when we eventually rise up against Frieza," he whispered the last part, not wanting to be overheard.
Callion didn't respond verbally as he studied Raditz or more accurately, his expression of hopefulness before giving a small grin.
"Raditz, if you wanted to just see your brother, you could just ask. I wouldn't judge you for it," he said as Raditz blushed in embarrassment.
"W-what? S-stop talking nonsense! I just want to check up on him, that's all." Raditz said in denial as Callion barked out a small laughter.
"Fine, I won't make you say it." he said before looking at his longtime comrade, "I also won't begrudge you of this. You haven't seen your brother in almost 20 years, right?" Callion asked as Raditz nodded, "Go, I'll make up something and tell the others that you had another mission to take care of."
Raditz turned around and was about to leave before turning back to Callion, "Thanks, Prince Callion." he said before leaving.
Once he was gone, Callion sighed before laying back on his cot, "Well. at least someone's making the effort to be a brother."
-xXx-
A Few Days Later-
Once more Callion finds himself standing amongst a wasteland that he had created as he and the others finally eliminated the last of the enemy race.
"That took longer than it should have." Nappa commented idly as he and Vegeta stood by their ships while Callion began walking towards his, "Think it would have gone any quicker with Raditz?" he asked, mostly in an effort to get either of the royal siblings to utter a word since they've barely even spared the other a glance since being assigned this mission.
"I'm not a fortune teller, Nappa." was all Vegeta said.
"Doubtful, like the last race, they seemed to know about the power of our tails and seemed intent on making sure that we weren't able to use them. Not that we really had to, anyway." Callion said, making to his ship.
Before any of them could say anything, they suddenly heard their scouters beep and a transmission went coming through...
"Is that Raditz?" Nappa asked as they heard Raditz talking to someone he kept referring to as Kakarot, who apparently didn't know what a Saiyan was, didn't have his tail, and didn't conquer Earth.
"This Kakarot sounds weaker than even Raditz." Vegeta piped in and for once Callion was actually in agreement as they now heard Raditz declare that his brother apparently has a son, who he kidnapped.
"Well, this seems interesting, at least," Callion muttered as they now heard Kakarot and someone begin to battle Raditz, who at first easily beat them into the ground...Before he screwed up and got his tail grabbed and then they heard him beg for his life.
"This guy sounds like even more of an idiot than he does," Vegeta said as they now heard Raditz get the upper hand...only to once more lose it once more as the son of Kakarot broke out of his entrapment before smashing into Raditz, apparently hurting him enough for his brother to capture him once more, only this time long enough for...
"Damn it" Callion cursed as they heard the attack hit Raditz, critically hitting both him and his brother, Kakarot...
"Raaaditz" Nappa called through the device, finally announcing to whoever was listening that they were here, "Guy who's as strong as a Saibamen says what?" he mocked, an age long taunts that he used on the lower class Saiyan.
Upon not getting the typical response, Nappa spoke again, "That usually gets him. I think he's dead this time, you guys."
"Big shocker, nobody cares." Vegeta said indifferently, "We're 10x stronger than him anyway. We'll go to Earth, find the Dragon Balls and kill everyone. It shouldn't us more than a year to get there from here." Vegeta said, and Callion doubted he knew that he said that into the transmission...he also doubted his brother cared either.
"And then we can wish back Raditz, right?" Callion asked though he felt he already knew his brother's answer. He also took the time to end the shared transmission.
"Are you kidding? That would be a wasted wish." Vegeta spoke to his brother for the first time in days, "Raditz was a weakling and a fool. Any Saiyan who could be defeated so easily doesn't deserve to live." he finished cruelly.
Callion looked ready to rebuke his brother but Vegeta spoke again before he got to, "No, I have a far better idea in mind." he began as a smirk crossed his face as he turned to look at his brother, "How does the idea of eternal life sound to you?" he asked as that stopped Callion cold.
"Yes, I see it going over in your mind. A life of battling forever, a life of enjoying the life only we, the Saiyan Elite, should be allowed to live. Not under some pint-size emperor." Vegeta spoke to his brother, but in a way that found his brother unable to come up with any kind of response whatsoever, mostly because for once in his life...he was listening to his brother.
The thought of not dying...of having eternal life. An eternal life of him living forever, fighting whoever, doing whatever he wanted! That...that sounds...horrible.
As Callion looked at his brother as he spoke of the possibility to wish for eternal life, he felt something he hadn't felt since the very first time he met Freiza...
Fear
Callion didn't know how he was going to do it, but no matter what, even if he had to destroy Earth himself, he knew one thing...
He could not allow his brother to grant himself eternal life.
And that's where I'll have to end it at. I think that chapter went somewhat like I wanted it to. I honestly was just trying to set things into motion with this chapter and I think this did that wonderfully. I hope.
Now, I kind of dropped heavy hints in there to basically allude to where I want to take my Saiyan as in terms of DBZ OC characters, I haven't actually seen many or any of these. However, having said that, I realized the problem with creating an OC like this and have plans in motion to basically build him up instead of depowering him for the plot...Though, I guess that's depowering for the plot in a way, huh?
Anyway, as you might have figured it out, I already have the pairing picked out but I am not stuck on it, quite yet because I do want to give Krillin some kind of love but, I don't know whether to keep it canon and have my OC pair up with someone else or kill Krillin off. And let's be honest, he's died the most out of everyone, it wouldn't be that bad...
Considering the Arc I'm in, I have plenty of time to figure it out before then. And for those wondering, yes, I will add other Arcs in the story to make it longer.
Tell me your thoughts in the comments...
Until Next Time-
P. S: I will hopefully be updating Bullworth Tales next. So be on the watch for that.
