Rise of Heroes Prologue
Earth, or at least I think that is what it is called. From a distance it looks like my planet Meltan, covered with ocean but still has large tracts of land, which one could settle on. I never would have guessed that the Saiyans were settling on this planet. Didn't they enjoy war and conquest? I didn't matter now, besides I would have the time to answer that question soon enough. As I approached the life-giving ball my body began to feel like it was burning up.
Great, an atmosphere, I thought and began to slow my flying speed that was another thing it had in common with my home planet. As I began to get closer I took note of many ruined buildings on the planet. I gulped the Saiyan race couldn't have been destroyed, could it? As I landed in the ruins of what looked like a city I decided to lie down next to a building, hoping my strength wouldn't topple it over, unfortunately, it did I sighed and began to replay what had happened over the past few days in my head.
"Everen," My college roommate's voice exclaimed as I was violently shaken from my slumber, "Dude! We've got a party we need to go to in thirty minutes are you ready?"
I rose to my feet and grumbled, "No, Sevin I'm not. I told you I didn't want to go."
"Anyone who is anybody is going to be there," Sevin exclaimed, "Come on," he gave me his famous puppy dog look, which made me cave in to his stupid demand.
"Fine, let me get dressed," I said and walked into the bathroom. When I shut the door I took a look at myself. My black skin and brown eyes seemed to be doing well. And my short, black hair was in a decent state. Thus, I began to put some clothes on.
"You know, Ziera is going to be there," My roommate said from the other side of the door.
"I'm not going anywhere near her as long as that boyfriend of hers is still with her," I replied.
"He's not that tough," Sevin said.
"The guy is the wrestling team captain and I'm just an average run-of-the-mill student. There is no possible way I would survive if he thought I was talking to his girlfriend."
"He'd be cool with it."
"The last guy who talked to her ended up with a bloody and broken nose."
"But Hyiman deserved it! You don't."
"Whatever," I said emerging from the bathroom fully dressed.
Sevin smiled, "So are we taking my car?"
I looked at the time, "I suppose I could walk," I said.
"Okay man," Sevin said, "See ya there."
As Sevin walked out I went outside and started at the city below from my balcony. It was a pretty sight, don't get me wrong, but it just needed something more. I tried to get a good look at the city below but I leaned too far and the slightest gust of wind sent me plummeting to my doom.
I began to pray to whatever deity was up there hoping for something to happen. I opened my eyes and noticed I was floating two feet above the ground. My heart almost skipped a beat, I was floating, holy crap I was floating! Now it was time to experiment, my body shot up into the air and I caught a view of the city and smiled. This was the kind of city view I wanted to see! I was just like Superguy! My phone rang, upon answering it my roommate told me the location of the party. I found it funny how he forgot to tell me where it was before he headed out the door. Upon hanging up, I sped towards the bar. My landing wasn't as graceful as my flight seeing as I ran smack into the concrete. I managed to hop on my feet right when my roommate's car arrived.
"Dude! How did you get here so fast," My roommate asked me.
"I took a few really good short cuts," I lied.
My friend gave me a look of disbelief just before we walked into the establishment. I ordered a soda before sitting down at a table in the corner while my friend went off to hang with the kinds of nitwits who attend these stupid occasions. My brain went into an observation mode, like some scientist looking at a new animal. I made mental notes in my head reminding myself how much I hated the people here.
"Hey Everen," A woman, about my age with white skin and long black hair, said and sat down across from me.
I sighed, "Hi Ziera."
"Oh come on," The girl giggled playfully, "Can't you have a little fun?"
"Not at places like this," I grumbled, "My senses can hardly keep themselves in check."
"Why don't we go do some Karaoke," Ziera suggested.
I looked around, I knew what she was doing and I didn't like it one bit. But I didn't see her boyfriend and I had nothing else to do. So I agreed. The two of use walked to the Karaoke machine and began to sing a duet. I did okay, given that I had dropped out of the choir a long time ago. Ziera's voice was just perfect, a little too perfect. When we finished the entire bar clapped for us before a burly man, who looked like he could lift about two hundred pounds, shifted his way to the crowd.
"Ziera, what are you doing with this wimp," He asked.
Oh great, I thought.
"I'm just having more fun than I'd have with you," She smiled wickedly.
Great, She's just using me to get revenge on her boyfriend, I thought, She's just like the rest of the scum here.
"Is that so," The man smiled and grabbed me by the shirt collar, "Why don't I show this man what true fun really is."
"Look," I said, "I did not intend to steal your girl neither do I have any interest in her," I replied.
"I trust that statement about as far as I can throw you," The man growled.
"That must be pretty far," I remarked before getting slugged in the face. My blood began to boil. Not only was I at a place I hated and that I was just used by a girl to make her boyfriend angry, but I was going to take the fall when that slut over there is the one who deserved it. I clenched my fist as a hidden power began take over me before I punched the man straight into the wall, "You want a fight? Come get some!" The boy ran towards me. I dodged then kicked him. The boy swung again. I blocked the attacked and punched him again. The boy grabbed me; I kicked him in the nuts. As the boy hit the ground I jumped into the air, did a flip and zoomed toward the boy. My foot began to give off a blue fire that enveloped my body as I landed a blow to the face. Ziera's boyfriend's head hit the ground and was no doubt bleeding. I gave a huff and walked out.
Okay, how the heck did I do that, I said and looked at my hands, "There is no possible way a guy like me could have done that fancy kick, much less beaten the captain of the wrestling team!" I recalled that I could also fly, just like Superboy, who discovered his powers by accident. And if anyone could answer the question of who I really was it had to be my parents, I began to fly to my parent's house when I got there I called out to them.
"Hey champ," My father called back, "What brings you here?"
"Why don't you come in," My mother said.
"I would but could you open the door for me," I asked.
"Of course," My mom said and opened the door. I walked in and relayed the story of what had just happened to my folks who looked at each other and sighed.
"It is time we told you the truth champ," My dad said, "You see we're not your parents."
"What do you mean," I asked.
"You see, twenty years ago, we found you in some kind of pod in Mantago Park," My mom said, "We didn't see your parents so we decided to raise you as our own."
"So I'm an alien, huh," I sighed, "Too be honest I'm more shocked than I am angry. I mean, what if my real parents are still alive? Maybe they're on some planet in space?"
"We don't know how you'd be able to find them without a rocket ship," My mom said.
"I'll find a way," I smiled.
"You always do champ," My dad said with a tear in his eye, I went outside and looked up. I took a deep breath and flew up into the atmosphere, it seemed like a crazy idea to fly straight into space but I had that gut feeling that it would work. Upon exiting my planet I was still breathing normally, my gambit had paid off. I began to wander the stars for the next several days until I could find some place to rest. That moment came when I found myself in some kind of asteroid field. It looked like something had been here once, but it had been shattered by what looked like a big explosion. I landed on a good chunk of land and drifted off into slumber. Soon I began to hear voices in my head.
"Meiran, You know what Lord Frieza will do once he finds out we had a son," A male voice exclaimed, "He banned Saiyans from having kids!"
"Calm down, I have a plan," A female voice responded.
"And that is," The male voice asked.
"We will do what Bardock is planning to do should our glorious revolution fail," The female voice said, "We will put our son in a pod and send him to another hospitable planet, away from Frieza's empire! The planet will be like Earth, where Bardock's son is going."
"But our boy isn't like the others, without a proper Saiyan training him, he'll be weak."
"Don't worry," The female voice said, "I have a plan for that too," I heard what sounded like a baby crying, "Hush now little Everin, and remember your mommy and daddy will always love you."
I woke up all of a sudden when I saw what looked like a bright red headband fly past me. I grabbed it and put it on. I smiled and decided to make my next move. I was going to this planet called Earth to find this son of Bardock. With that I took off, somehow I instantly knew where this planet Earth was and how to get to it. Which brings me to where I am now, sitting in this ruined city, waiting to see the Saiyan Empire. Or perhaps meet my parents for the first time.
