Living Legend
Another story of mine. Not a crossover this time though but still very expected. I decided to try some of my old-planned stories so to see how is received.
Enjoy!
Chapter 1: Legend
On the Northern part of the Universe within the North Galaxy, King Kai's quadrant, one of the four overlookers of the universe, there were easily thousands of habited planets. It took thousands, millions, even billions of years for the planets to form many of the most evolved and exotic species ever known. One of those planets, however, was the home for one of the strongest races that has ever existed. They were called Saiyans. With natural super strength, reflexes and ki energy command, these mighty warriors stopped at nothing to get into a fight. And the more dangerous it was, the better it would be.
They had very specific assignment: arrive to a world and purge it clean of any inhabitant. Some planets could be easily whipped out. Others, however, might put a challenge. Something the warriors loved. Because once the Full Moon arrived, their true power would show up. Their monkey-like tails had the secret to the Ozaru transformation, a giant ape form, which would boost the warrior's power ten times over the normal amount.
But there was something more. An ancient legend said about the arrival of the mightiest warrior ever. One whose power would dwarf the strongest beings in the universe. The most powerful creäture of the cosmos would have power unimaginable, comparable to the Gods of Creation and Destruction.
That had been the motivation the paranoid Frost demon, and one of the leaders of the Planet Trade Organisation, called Frieza needed. In an impressive bright explosion, the mighty Saiyan race was completely evaporated from the Seventh universe.
Years ago, many thousands ago, on the planet called Plant at that time, a still-alive Saiyan was struggling for his life. Many would say Saiyans loved the thrill of a fight, and this Saiyan was no different. But his fighting intentions were indeed far more different. He was not fighting for the sheer pleasure of punching something, but for the revenge and pay-back feeling he had to satisfy.
The Saiyan had hair, which was standing in a palm-tree way with a scar running through his left cheek bone. He had a typical green Saiyan armor, though now destroyed in some parts. His well-built body had bruises and deep cuts all over.
Planet Plant was under attack. The mighty lord Chilled had arrived personally to destroy whoever had stopped his plans of conquest in this planet. The time travelling Saiyan called Bardock arrived a few days ago, not knowing how. The only thing he remembered was receiving the attack that would decimate his entire planet. Yet, he mysteriously appeared here. He thought that maybe he had time traveled to the past. Scratch that, he knew he had time-traveled. That was odd. But why would he complain? He used to see the future thanks to an alien from Kanassa so anything was possible in his weird Saiyan life.
That same time traveler was lying on the ground, his face against the hard granite rock. A three-fingered foot was pressing him against the hard soil, cracking the rock with little effort. The leg belonged to a four feet tall alien, great-grandfather of Frieza. Lord Chilled looked very much like his future descendants if just for his orange color replacing traditional ivory.
Bardock was feeling weak by the second. His energy reserves were fading. He remembered the death of his planet. Of his friends. The maniacal laugh Frieza emitted when destroying his only home. How his son would one day annihilate that same lizard bastard.
His son! Thanks to him he had changed. That man who looked just like Bardock, made him realise he was better. That his life didn't depend on just pure and brute strength. He was a free man since his birth and no one could deny that right from him or anyone anymore.
"Stop!" A little Plantian child called Berry said out loud, throwing a little rock to the short-sized Chilled. The little debris shattered at contact with Chilled's head. The Ice demon didn't flinch at all. That was very lame, seriously. His murderous purple eyes shone with power as his mouth turned into an evil smirk.
With a wave of his hand, a powerful air ki wave threw the little Plantian back unconscious. His father, Ipana, healer of the local village ran to his son with the medical supply. An especial light blue liquid capable of healing injuries in no time. The main reason for the Ice Demon to conquer this planet. Such a valuable resort would not only made his foot soldiers to heal faster, but it would also prolong his own life enough so he could conquer the entire universe.
Bardock caught glimpse of the poor child blasted away. How? How could this happen all over again? Even after getting stronger from surviving the trip to the past, the Saiyan still didn't have enough power. What was what he needed? His revenge would never come if he just let others die for him.
The memory of lost...The lost of his planet...his friends and comrades. All because he hadn't been powerful enough to do something.
Bardock tighten his hands so hard that they started bleeding. Rage ran through his veins, through his entire body, filling him with a murderous desire to tear Chilled's limbs off. Dark storm clouds covered the Plantian sky, as lightnings started to impact in the rocky ground. The Icejinn was suddenly pushed back by an energy shock wave produced right from Bardock's body. The Frost demon remained in his feet, but now more cautious.
The scar Saiyan rose to his feet, his eyes shifting from black to green. A golden light started to surround him, as his rage was increasing. Lightnings were impacting the ground more often the more his power escalated. Chilled remained with his evil smirk, not surprised whatsoever by the golden flashes or special effects on the environment. He was much stronger after all.
"What do you think you are doing?" Chilled mocked, not realizing the consequences his actions created and would create in the centuries to come. Bardock stared right at him, his onyx eyes burning in green light.
"YOU ARE GOING TO PAY!" Bardock said, fury in every word. A final flashback of his friends run through his mind.
He literally, snapped.
Jerking his head up, The Scar Saiyan unleashed an unholy yell to the dark-clouded skies, his power unleashing at last with bestial wrath. The whirlwind surrounded him as his golden aura exploded in infernal ki, shaking the entire planet to the core. Chilled covered his eyes, now blinded by the golden light. What just happened?
As the light apparently deemed, The Icejinn caught sight of what was in front of him. His jaw fell to the ground. Bardock was walking towards him, his muscles bulging, a golden aura sending high-pitch sounds in jagged appearance. His palm-tree hair fully spiked up now with the most pure golden color. And his eyes...the black onyx replaced with two vengeful shining emeralds, that literally, sent chills through Chilled.
The Ice Demon stepped back, looking totally aghast to this new threat. Who was him? Better question, What was him? That was something to ask later. For the Super Saiyan was walking towards his enemy no hesitation at all.
Chilled grinned, as he unleashed a death beam barrage from his hand. Bardock's faster hands repelled them, no effort needed. The Ice Demon frowned, unleashing even more energy. But the first Super Saiyan of history kept deflecting them with easy. The Ice demon just stared in surprise. What was the golden color and all that?
Chilled would not be going down without a fight though. Charging his left hand behind his back, he unleashed an ascending powerful purple energy cut. Thinking he would hit, Frieza's ancestor never saw the after image he hit. Until it was too late.
A left roundhouse caught the short demon in the left side of his head, sending him sprawling ferociously through many rock formations. He rose after some minutes, rubbing his head. That blow had actually hurt. He couldn't contemplate the pain, however, as a firm hand grabbed his neck, raising him up. His purple Icejinn eyes found the green Super Saiyan's ones.
The Ice demon kicked Bardock's ribcage, following with continuous punches into the Saiyan's face. But all of them did nothing. The golden warrior didn't bulge, nor scream. Chilled was really in troubles. He had put all his physical strength behind those blows, capable of decimating cities. And yet nothing happened.
Bardock's right fist impacted Chilled's guts. The air left his lungs, as he felt the most painful blow he had ever received, his garnet eyes almost exploding out of their sockets. Bardock's left hand left The Icejinn's neck, letting him fall for some microseconds just for a full force right fist that hit squarely Chilled's mouth. The ice Demon's smirk left his face a long time ago. The Frost demon impacted in the ground, miles away from Bardock with purple blood splattered around inside a small trench he caved. The short demon rose again, spitting blood from his losen mouth. His distraction allowed the Super Saiyan to reappear behind his enemy and whipped him into the ground with a swing of the ivory tail. Cracks run aroudn the epicenter, with the short demon slowly raising back tp his feet.
His garnet eyes shone in anger as his purple aura exploded. The Icejinn would not hesitate now. The pest had annoyed him enough! Folding his arms to his sides, the short Frost being let his power explode. Having a bad feeling, the Super Saiyan, forgetting the blinding rage running through him, remained on his feet unsure of what to do. Something wrong was coming, that was for sure.
The Icejinn's body started to bulk as his orange plates were cracking with a sickening sound. Purple lightnings were rippling around his aura, his power escalating. The ground trembled even more, as rocks started to flout around the Frost demon. His limbs stretched out, included his tail, gaining two or three extra feet tall. His face started to morph, now his horns getting longer and pointing upwards.
"Be honored, monkey, never I have been pushed to reveal my true form before!" The new Chilled said smirking in confidence. Bardock frowned, as his eyes looked to his enemy. He didn't know how powerful his enemy was now. Chilled reappeared right in front of the gold-main warrior, moving faster than Bardock's reflexes, landing a straight head butt.
The Super Saiyan staggered back, his guard open. The ascended demon started delivering fists and kicks at neck-breaking speeds, the Saiyan too stun to counter. An uppercut sent Bardock up for a mile, as Chilled reappeared up on the way ready with his double axe strike. But as he sent his fists down, the first Super Saiyan catched the attack with his hands. The Super Saiyan was even more bruised now but that didn't mean he had lost power.
"How... how did you do that?" The ice demon stammered. No one ever stood against him with equal power before. Bardock's grip increased in strength, Chilled's wrists cracking under the mighty pressure.
"I know your kind monster, and I won't tolerate you any longer!" Bardock bellowed, his aura going bright again like an inferno. He folded his legs to his chest, unleashing a double kick to Chilled's unprotected midsection. The shock wave rippled through the place with boulders shattering to pieces and flying by the hurricane winds. The ice demon flew out for miles, as the Super Saiyan pressed his advantage, landing crippling blows all over Frieza's ancestor's body. The attacks were powerful enough to bruise the monster and even sometimes one could hear the sound of a cracking bone.
Chilled clutched his teeth in anger and pain, now fighting back the Super Saiyan. Both were equal in speed and strength. But Bardock had something that someone like Chilled would never have: pride of a warrior.
After time that couldn't be measure, hours or maybe days later, both beings landed on the ground panting heavily. They were covered in open wounds and there was no clear advantage on either side of the field. The titans were not giving any ground to their respective enemy.
Suddenly, Bardock acted on pure madness, grabbing Chilled's neck at lighting speeds. But instead of attacking, Bardock started flying up. The Ice Demon hit the Super Saiyan, but the former remained unfazed. His concentration was iron-cladded. Both beings flew out of the atmosphere, right to the endless black vacuüm of the space.
Bardock released his enemy's neck, though without letting him get the advantage. Bardock disappeared in mid space, reappearing a few feet away from his taller enemy with a dash of speed. Chilled's stunned face showed how equaled they were. That...monkey not only was stronger, but could also survive in space. It was time to finish this!
"I had enough of you ape-man, I will crush this entire galaxy because of your insolence towards Lord Chilled!" The Frost demon blurted out his thoughts.
"I will not let you destroy the planet!" Bardock shouted, his golden aura increasing in brightness. Chilled didn't bother in replying. Once the Saiyan had been reduced to ashes, he would personally kill every living creäture from the forsaken mud ball.
"Then came and face me, monkey!" The transformed Chilled taunted, raising both hands up in the sky. The energy started to gather in the form of a gigantic yellow/orange energy sphere. It easily had a quarter size of the planet. Bardock looked to the attack. That energy attack seemed to be something running in Frieza's family, apparently.
But not going to simply die, The Super Saiyan placed his right hand to his right side. Blue/white energy started to gather on his palm, ready to counter Chilled's attack. Both enemies looked into each other's eyes. No words needed to be said, to explain what was going to happen next.
"NOVA ATTACK!"
"SPIRIT CANNON!"
Both spheres clashed faster than light, sending jolts of electricity outwardly. Both enemies put their energies into their attacks. Neither would back down. Neither would stop. Only one was leaving with his life.
Chilled's eyes widened when he saw his most powerful attack been halted by an equal power. No one had ever done that. But yet, he would not lose to a simple monkey!
Bardock's eyes frowned, as he pour more energy into his attack. He wasn't going to tolerate any bastardish creäture that resembled Frieza any more. They were going to die by his Saiyan hands!
From the surface of Planet Plant, the small villagers could see the amazing show of two gigantic spheres clashing for dominance. It was like looking at two suns, clashing in an attempt to overcome the other's light.
Bardock gave one last yell powering up his Spirit Cannon. It immediately pushed back Chilled's attack, inch by inch. The Icejinn tried to counter. He poured what little remained of his energies into a suicidal attack. He succeeded. Chilled's attack, though not overcoming Bardock, halted his way with equal force and might.
But just like a tensile cable, there was always a limit.
Both attacks neglected each other, exploding in a planet-shattering explosion and releasing pure raw energy into the space's vacuüm, atomizing any atom in its way. The Super Saiyan could only ee how the explosion engulfed not only Chilled but also himself.
The Icejinn had no time to avoid it. Neither he had the energy to do so. The explosion caught him inside the radius, blasting him with pure destructive force. The already-drained frost conqueror was propelled back by the maelstrom, his body wounded beyond measure scorching his orange skin. His unconscious body was floating helplessly in the middle of the space, just outside Plant's gravitational pull. His biology allowed him to survive on the void airless, so he would not die for asphyxiation. His wounds, however, were not that appealing.
A big space ship came near the knocked down demon, entering him to the medical chamber.
Bardock lost himself in the middle of a swirling vortex. Everything was shaking. He was shaking. Was it fear? Was it expectation? He didn't know what it was. But whatever the feeling was, it was exhilarating him. Something was telling him this was the best thing ever.
He couldn't wonder in further details, as his body slept into unconsciousness through the dimensional shift.
"Warn my family" The death-injured Chilled said inside the medical bay. He didn't have much time left before life would finally slept away from his body.
"What is the message Lord Chilled?" one of the many soldiers asked. Chilled detached himself from the breather he had, trying to say his last words.
"Beware... of the golden Saiyan" His last words were just too much for his body. His head fell limply, air no longer entering in his lungs.
His warning would echoed through the Cold family through the forthcoming centuries.
On a different time and on a blue and green planet in the north quadrant called Earth, a palm tree-haired warrior was doing one hand push ups in the middle of a forest. The man had a lot of resemblance with Bardock. But he didn't have a scar on his face, or any murderous desire towards anyone. Killing was something he always regretted to do and avoided unless there was no other way. He was wearing an orange karate gi, with the 'Kami' insignia on his back. His wristbands, boots and undershirt were black and weighted a lot. If one could weight the five objects, one could see they weighted all together more than a two hundred tons.
And the man was doing his ten thousand rep!
Near the man, a young child was hanging upside down from a tree branch, using his especial fifth limb. A prehensile monkey-like tail. He had a red-green outfit, with a little red hat on his head. It was framed with the amber-colored four star Dragon Ball. His hair was reaching the back of his neck in little locks like every Saiyan. The young half human Saiyan had his eyes closed, a little line of saliva coming from his sleeped mouth.
The earth-raised pure-blooded Saiyan called Goku flipped to his feet, sweat running through his body. Sure, training was hard but worth it. He now had a son to protect, along with friends and the entire planet. They were his family. His only family left.
"Hey Gohan" Goku said to his young son, who snapped from his nap. "You wanna go to Kame House?"
"Yes, Daddy!" The young half Saiyan said smiling, running to his father. In a second, he was already in his father's shoulders.
"Nimbus!" Goku said to the blue sky. A golden cloud arrived next to both Saiyans. Goku jumped on it, still with the little child on his shoulders. The cloud took off in west direction. Both father and son smiled and laughed when the wind flew back their hairs.
Notes from Chapter 1:
When Chilled appeared in Bardock's movie, I think he was at his (only) restricted form and the second form is actually his true form (Frieza, Cooler and Cold are more powerful, which means they have more restricted forms than their ancestor)
Just like Goku before fighting Frieza and Vegeta after fighting Recoome, Bardock received a massive Zenkai beyond the normal Zenkai multiplier.
If you are wondering, Bardock and Chilled's clash of attacks created a wormhole that pushed Bardock to the future (For those people who can't read between lines)
Chichi died on Gohan's birth (That cause of death is considered natural, so Dragon Balls couldn't revive her).
The following power levels are something I invented.
I don't know Gohan's power level at the time, but as Chichi wasn't around Goku could train him a bit.
Power Levels:
Bardock:
Base form (Bigger Zenkai): 60,000
Super Saiyan: 3 millions
Clash of attacks: 4 millions
Unconscious, injured through the time vortex: 1,000
Chilled:
Restricted Form: 1 million
True Form: 3 millions
Goku:
Training with weighted clothes: 900
Full Power without clothes: 1,300
Gohan: 350
Well, hope you like the first chapter. A Super Saiyan is arriving and his power totally outclasses Goku and his friends. Will he be friend or foe?
