Chapter 1: Prologue
Okay, so first off, have you ever been scared out of your mind? Been faced with an enemy that, no matter how hard you tried, you just couldn't beat? That's how I feel right now. Staring death in the face. I, Hikaru, last of the Saiyans, feeling as helpless as a newborn. As I prepared to face my death, I smiled. "I'll take some pride in the fact that it took the strongest in the universe to kill me." My killer smiled back at me before replying. "That's a fine way of looking at it. You'll die with your honor intact." As I shut my eyes, all hope lost, I suddenly felt the ground beneath me disappear. I opened my eyes to find myself falling through...some sort of portal to a planet with a bright blue sky. My attacker must have been trying to vaporize me, for they simply kept up their barrage of energy attacks. One flew through the portal and hit me square in the chest, knocking the wind out of me. Once the portal closed, I sighed in relief at my escape from certain doom, only to realize the NEW predicament I was in. I barely had enough energy left to stay afloat, and I was burning through it like gasoline in a forest fire. I decided the only thing I could do was try to land on a surface that would minimize the damage to my body. Unfortunately, this was the moment said body decided to shut down, causing me to fall unconscious. The last thing I saw before I blacked out was a ghostly image of a little girl. She had long, blonde hair and bright green eyes. She wore a plain white dress, and her arms were outstretched as though she were going to catch me. The hard ground collided with my body, and I saw no more.
