Planet Earth: 5 Years Prior

A young boy with purplish skin and bright green hair is sitting at a lunch table all by himself. He appears to be the age of seventeen. Suddenly, the ground begins to shake. Everyone begins to panic and run. The boy follows protocol and gets under the table. He can hear the energy beams being fired outside and the sound of fists clashing. Something must be attacking the city again. He catches a glimpse of what appears to a huge robot army blasting energy beams at some fighters nearby.

After the smoke and chaos clears, he emerges from the table to see the school in pieces, and some of his fellow classmates dead. Looking at his watch, he rushes home, to find it in pieces. Amongst the wreckage, his father's lifeless body. This is the story of Vapor Current. Though he may not know it yet, he is one of the most important people in the universe.

Planet New Namek: Present Day

"Oh jeez! I'm going to be late! I knew I should've set an alarm!" I rushed out of my bedroom, putting on my suit jacket and grabbing my bag. While on my bus ride, I took a moment to remember what lead me on this path. It all started with my father's death five years ago. After it happened, I trained a little to try and become a fighter, but I gave up to focus on my studies. And since then, a lot of good things have happened. I know it's not much, but I like my life. Less to worry about.

I arrive at the conference building and take my seat. Several other people begin taking their seats. People of several other races. A fox person approaches me and asks, "I've never seen a species with your skin tone. What species are you?"

"I'm actually human. I was born with a rare skin disease. In fact, my father named it after me. Currentsense disease." The fox man raised his hands, apologising for offense. I assured him it was none taken. With everyone arriving, the conference began.

Everyone mostly talked about new findings in space travel and using Ki to power stuff. And then, the chairman came onto stage to announce the winner of this year's award for excellence. "The winner of this year's Award for Excellence...Vapor Current!"

A wave of shock overcame me. Me? The winner of the award? I came up on stage and shook the chairman's hand. "Wow," I started, "I don't know what to say. It's been a long way. I remember after my father's death, I wanted to be a fighter. I later gave up that dream. No use in it. I did what my father wanted and became a scholar. I studied the effects of different ki on the human body. And I'm glad to be here to give my information to the namekians. As well as a new power measuring tool and a new scale used to measure those with god ki. It's possible to rig up an alarm system that detects godly ki and turns on New Namek's cloaking device."

The small crowd cheered. The namekians standing in the corner walked out. I had always heard they were hard to read. I took the award and moved to sit down. Before I sat down, I was stopped by a small woman in a uniform.

"The Grand Guru would like a word with you. It's very urgent." She took my hand and lead me to a large house. I stepped inside and saw the large Namekian and his attendants looking at me.

"Is...this about the alarm system concept I had? Cause, I don't mind setting it up for free! No need to pay me! I'm not in this for the money." I fidgeted with my hands a bit. I was never good with confrontation.

The Guru began to speak. "Yes. My attendants loved the concept. We can begin work on it soon. However, I was contacted by someone to bring you here. She will arrive shortly. She would like to meet you…"

Supreme Kai Realm

"Are you sure he's fit for the job?" the old blue man said, scratching his chin. "I mean, the other one is already a fighter...plus he seems strong."

The woman with purple skin and a beehive haircut chuckled. "That's the challenge. Plus, he has the most potential…"

The young blue man sighed. "Just let her do it Grand Elder. If it doesn't work, we can use the other one. Let's give this one a shot."

New Namek

"Someone who wants to see me?" I scratched my head. "I...can't really think of someone who knows me."

A knock was at the door and the attendants let the woman in. She was taller than me. Had a very curvy figure and purple skin along with an old style beehive haircut. "Hey! Grand Guru! You look well! Full of color!"

The Grand Guru coughed and smiled. "Pigmente! It's been too long. I brought the one you wanted."

I stared blankly at the woman. "You wanted to see me? Why? I don't understand. I've never seen you before in my life."

The woman named Pigmente chuckled. "Well, I'm surprised you can't see the resemblance Vapor. Though, you do look a lot like your father."

My eyes widened. "You...knew my father? But...how...unless…" An idea spouted up. It couldn't be. But, I was told she died.

"Well of course I know him! He did put a baby in me! Well...sort of. It wasn't intentional. Just...an experiment." She was looking a little nostalgic.

"You're...my mom? So...you have the skin disease as well?" I was amazed. I could finally get answers!

"Skin disease? Was that his excuse? No no no! Your skin tone comes from my side of the family. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Pigmente. Supreme Kai of Color. I created every color in this universe. About 26 years ago, your father was researching near my sector of the universe. While researching, he met me. He was interested in me. I was interested in him."

I covered my ears. "I don't want to hear about this. Really not appropriate. Please stop." I looked up and saw her laughing.

"Don't worry, we didn't do what you think. He noticed when I was around his alien samples, they would react. Using his blood, he asked me if I could create life. Not the first time I was asked that. It was simple. I morphed his blood and my energy into one. Then, you were born. He was amazed. He told me he spent years trying to adopt, but to no avail. He thanked me, and asked if I would be dangerous." She lowered her head.

"Well, I'm not. But, I can't believe it. I'm...half-whatever you are?" I was scratching my head.

"Kaio-shin. In fact, you're the only one. That's what makes you special. All the others I helped make were black and white. Lacked color. Lacked...purity. Most of them died young. But you were different. Full of color. I let your father take you. I told him to raise you into a fine young man. But.."

"But?"

"The time for being a fine young man is over. I need you for something special. To defeat an evil I can't on my own. Us Kaio-Shins aren't fighters."

"Well, neither am I. I tried, but couldn't get any stronger. I was limited."

"That's where I come in. You see, I can share a little of my power with you. You can use it to fight. And to awaken your own power. However, at your current state, too much of my power can kill you. However, I have some exercise tapes her. It's meant to train saiyans to contain their super saiyan abilities, but you could use it."

I stared at the cover of the VHS tape. On it was a very fit and muscular woman. She was obviously saiyan, I could tell by the skin tone. She looked like an old style exercise instructor. The tapes were probably old. "Alright...uh, I don't know. I mean. I have this alarm system to help set up…"

The Grand Guru shook his head. "Don't worry. Just send us the blueprints. We will have our builders set it up. This seems more important."

I sighed. "I...don't know. I guess. I'll do it. I guess I'll watch this first tape when I get back to my hotel room. Just, let me know when we head off for...wherever we are going."

My mother smiled. "We're heading to Earth. There's a city there that's a bit of a hub for fighters. There is where the real training will begin. I'll see you in 24 hours."

I headed back to my room and put one of the tapes on. The same woman on the cover showed up.

"Hello dweebs! I'm here to show you how to control your energy when you are in a Super Saiyan state! So, let's say you were just given a large power boost or unlocked one by some emotional force. You want to find out how to control like me right!? Of course! So, let's start with some focus exercises. Take a seat like me!" She sits down, the tight exercise clothes really hugging her body. "Now for all you men out there, I'd recommend closing your eyes for this part. With a girl like me sitting like this, you may lose focus. So close your eyes you little devil you!" I did as she said and closed my eyes. "So, focus on my words. Feel the energy within you swell. Hold on to that for as long as you can…" I focused on what energy I could detect, and held on to it. "Now...expand it! Unleash your power!" I made my power burst. But nothing. "Now that you're in a powered state, let's do some basic exercises! Boys, open your eyes. Let's get started!" I opened my eyes and saw she was in what is considered a 'Super Saiyan' state. Her hair was spiked up and golden. "Now, let's lift those legs and those power levels!" The rest wasn't much, just basic exercise. After I finished, I took a bath and changed for sleep.

I woke up the next morning. Sore and exhausted. I got up and changed. After stepping out of the bathroom, my mother was right there. "Well, are you ready to go?"

"I thought I would have some more time, but sure. Let's go." We stepped outside and my mom put a hand on my shoulder.

"Hold on, the first ride is the roughest."

In an instant, we arrived in a busy large building filled with people of a variety of races. Namekians, Acrosians, Humans, Saiyans, etc. "Woah! Amazing! There's so many people here! It's incredible."

My mother smiled and lead me to the largest building. "This is Conton City. And we are at the home of it all. The Time Nest. Home to my sister and her crew. The Universal Patrol. They were originally the Time Patrol. But then The Grand Priest locked time travel. So now the evil is here, in our time. That's where you come in."

"You need me to defeat this evil? But, surely others can do it!"

"Well, you're the only Kaio-Shin that can fight. And we need a Kaio-Shin."

"Why is that?"

A different voice said something. "Because only Kaio-Shin Ki can damage demons. And that's who we are up against."

"Who are you?" I turned and saw a short, pink skinned woman.

"So this is my nephew? Nice to meet you! I'm Chroana, Supreme Kai of Time! And your aunt! And these fine folk…" People appeared. "Are the Time Patrol!"

One had rubbery looking purple skin and a weird hairstyle. "Hey, I'm Grepe. A majin. Fourth best Time Patroller. I mean, Universal Patroller."

A saiyan with red scarlet hair waved. "My name is Sin! I was supposed to introduce myself first, considering I'm the Fifth best Universal Patroller!"

An Acrosian cleared their throat. "I'm Snowy. As you can tell, I'm an arcosian. I also prefer if you use they and their pronouns. Also, I'm the Third best Universal Patroller!"

Then, a familiar saiyan chuckled and stretched her arms. "I'm fitness star Steme Veta! Maybe you've seen some of my tapes!? I'm the Second best Universal Patroller."

I nodded. "I'm familiar with your work. Watched one of them last night."

She smiled. "Is that so? Which one? There are some that I'm a little embarrassed about."

I scratched my chin. "The...energy control one? I think the title was Energy Control and you."

She laughed. "Oh I loved making that one. The studio let me finally let me acknowledge the fact that some guys enjoy my videos a little too much. You closed your eyes when told right?"

I covered my face. "Y-yeah. I did." My mother was chuckling. "He did, I saw."

A saiyan with a strange aura coming off of him cleared his throat. He had snow white hair and wore a fancy piece of clothing. "I am Virtue. Brother of Sin. Father of Grepe. Hero that has saved time, but...I'm retiring soon. And I am THE best Universal Patroller."

"So, Steme will take your place?" I asked, ignoring the fact this saiyan was the father of a majin.

"Not quite...I was hoping you would." He looked at me.

"W-what!?" I was taken aback by his statement. I look at my mother and she nodded. I looked at Steme. "What about you?"

She laughed. "You haven't heard the test, you'll have to face me in a fight! If you win, you'll be the best one out of all of us. If you lose, you'll face Snowy. If you beat them, you'll be the second best. Lose and you'll face Grepe. If you can manage one win, you'll join us five. If not, you'll have to keep training until you can beat one of us."

I shuddered. "But...I don't know if I'm ready."

Steme laughed. "Too bad dweeb! Off to the arena!"

We arrived at an arena crowded with people. Steme steps up to the arena. "Come on up Vapor. Let's go!"

I stepped up. "I...don't think I can do this. I'm not strong."

"I'll share my energy with you son! It's the only way you'll be able to fight and possibly win!"

I was suddenly flooded with energy and my aura flared. "Woah, okay...let's go!" I lunged towards Steme attempting to punch her. My first fight has begun.
