Last Time

Masuto was dispatched to the Namekian moon for some solo training. After three long months and countless hours of training, Masuto only had a single day before his return to the planet. He decided to explore the caverns and ascend deeper than he had ever before. Eventually, he came to a juncture where every part of the network intersected. The area was enormous. It allowed only a small amount of light. Masuto could tell that it was beginning to get dark. Twilight would be setting in soon. He was suddenly attack by a cycloptic giant. All of his attacks proved ineffective. So, Masuto made a final push. The top of the cave had already collapsed and rain was pouring into the cave. He took to the air and used an attack his father taught him called Saturday Crush. All he did was blind it. Badly injured, he had to put all he had into returning to Namek. He barely made it and shortly after he left the Planet with his Master, a Namekian called Norjin.

Chapter 1

Masuto and Norjin had been traveling to a planet that Frieza's forces were sent to conquer. The journey of about a month was coming to a close. Masuto is now 5 years old. "Hey Norjin," Masuto began, using the pod's short range communication to talk to Norjin, "back on Namek, Those large orange gems with stars on them, what are they?" "Those are the Dragon balls," Norjin answered, "They were created long ago by the Grand Elder. If all the balls are together, Porunga can be summoned to grant three wishes." "That sounds amazing," Masuto stated, "I would love to see that." "Maybe you will one day," Norjin replied. They were interrupted by their pods telling them that they'd be arriving on Planet Egyenia shortly. Unluckily for them, Frieza's army had landed days before them.

With the use their scouters, they were able to detect Masuto's power. Norjin's power wasn't detected, because he could suppress his power. Masuto, however still needed work before he could master the technique. A few minutes later, both of their pods made impact with the ground. The planet had an orange sky and Dark Yellow sand as far as the eye could see. As Norjin got out of his pod, he noticed Masuto grab something metal before stepping out of his. Being on an unfamiliar planet, they decided to just fly until they came on to a city or village. Even though Norjin can sense energies, he could only detect Frieza's forces. He was almost certain the inhabitants were already dead, but he did not want to tell Masuto that. Even though he knew that Masuto would find out eventually. They flew in silence for almost an hour, until Norjin broke it. "What was the metal thing you had when you were stepping out of your pod?" he asked.

"Oh it's nothing," Masuto replied as he pulled it out of his shirt, "it's a picture of my grandfather; he died long before I was born. His name was Bardock. This may sound crazy, but when I have this picture with me, I feel that he's close to me. If he was anything like my father, I shouldn't want him close, but for some reason I don't think he was." "Your father, you seem to dislike him, I assume you have a reason," Norjin inquired. "My father works for Frieza," Masuto answered, "he's killed innocent." They flew in silence once again, until eventually they came upon a village. Once landing, they felt something off about this place, it was empty. Some damage had been done to the buildings. "Is anyone here?" Norjin shouted. There was no reply. A light breeze blew through the quiet town. Thinking it was abandon, they were about takeoff, when they came to the village center.

It was littered with dead bodies of yellow aliens. It was not a pretty sight to see. "They're all dead. This is a senseless massacre; they never had a chance," Masuto began, "If only we had gotten here sooner, we could have saved them." Masuto's anger began to swell. Someone started to laugh. Masuto looked up to see who it was. The source of the laughter was from some grunts of Frieza's army. "Looks like we have unexpected guests," one of them stated. "I guess we need to show them the way out," another commented. One of them activated their scouter to determine Norjin's and Masuto's power levels. However, before the scouter could finish computing, Masuto attacked them. The grunts didn't stand a chance. None of their blows even hit. Masuto was defeating them with one hit. He blasted the first three and killed the rest with a variety of blows.

Masuto thought that he had defeated all the soldiers That's when more troops showed up. However, these were elites. The leader of them stepped forward. "A Saiyan?" the leader questioned, "tell me kid, how is it possible for you to be a Saiyan?" "None of your business," Masuto shot back. The leader activated his scouter. "The kid Saiyan has a power of 9,050 and the Namekian has a power of 14,500," The leader said to himself, "Soldiers, take them out." "Yes sir, commander Dodoria," acknowledged the soldiers. The soldiers charged at Masuto and Norjin, and Masuto charged at them.
