The Broken Saiyan Chronicles..
Part One: The True feeling Of Being Alone.
"You just need to Come to bed, you've been working on the baby all day, he's not going to sleep for you." she whispered through the darkness as I tucked her in. She knew I wouldn't listen, I kissed her n the forehead and Walked out of the room closing the door. Little did I know, that was the lat time I've ever touch that door. The last time id ever walk in that bedroom. The last time.. Id ever do anything with my wife.
My sons Bedroom was quiet with little nursery rhymes going on in the back. Soothing. The same songs that I listened to when I was a child. My son was Silent.. until he saw me reach for him. He knew what time it was. Time for bed. And as every night he wasn't ready. And tonight I was giving my Lovely wife a break. Shed been staying up with him all night just about every night since he's been home. It was my turn, and tonight, was going to be the night: no matter how long it took he'd fall asleep in my arms.
I cant believe this is my offspring. This strong beautiful child. Was mine. He belonged to me. I guess it never really hit me until now how.. this life, is for me to form and grow with, to call my own. To raise. I wish my father were here to see him.. Iw wonder if he'd be proud, as if he would care. He didn't care about me, so why would he care about his grandchild. As I looked into His strong black eyes, memories from my childhood flooded my mind.. With my father. Err well.. The little I have..
"Just stand over there, you get any closer, you could get hurt." His words hit me as if he cared about me. I was so innocent, My black hair hung over my eyes, just like his hair. Identical to his hair. Identical to just about everything about Him. Everyone Saw it.. He was a strong. Noble Saiyan. Just Like His Father. His Father was In The Military, the Saiyan Militia. The Multitudes The Strong The Saiyan's. That was there motto There were everywhere, Ads, entertainment everywhere. My father, now that I look back. Lived in Grandpas shadow. He was a war hero. KIA, saved Hundreds of thousands of Elite Saiyan's at the cost of his life. because of that, we were rich. Grandpa was exalted as a hero and Received millions of Zeni.. Well Grandma Did anyways, After she passed away she gave everything to Dad. And he when he Died, to my mom. And when She died. To me.
My dad Left for the military when I was 4. The Saiyan Militia Sent home a letter apologizing for our loss of Our Father. He was Pronounced MIA, And Had been, After the First Mission he and his squad were sent on. All of Them Were. All Seven of them.
In Saiyan Society, it was a disgrace for a woman to have to work by themselves, normally the men take care of everything. So there was no need. Most women had everything they needed a man, money and a home. My Mother was out Two things, A man, and Money. See my fathers will went to Me. When I turned 18, since my mother and father were never Married, she never got the will. So she had to earn money on her own. However she could. Whenever she could.. All I remember from her is working so hard… She took care of me. Raised me to be the man I am today.
The baby's cry brake me from my flashback. I slowly lifted him into my arms walked back into the baby's room and lay him down to sleep. He didn't sleep in my arms.. Guess not tonight. I thought. The guys. My friends.. They wanted to get drinks and hang out tonight. They knew because of the baby id say no. But lately, he's been going to bed earlier. So tonight I can.
I wrote a note on the counter telling the wife where ill be at if she needs me, I grabbed my coat because I didn't want to Use the Hover.. Guess id just fly, ill be all right. Need to think about some stuff..
The second I opened the door, Merly was there he was ready to go. His hair was windblown, and as the Clock struck 10:38 He was 8 minuets late.
"You're late" I chuckled. I let a smile spread over my face and watched one grow onto his.
"Yeah, I'm here every night, same time, And your never able to come. Didn't think tonight would be any different but.." He looked at me up and down and eyes my jacket that was still folded over my arm. "Seems I was wrong."
"You were." I smiled and slid my arm into my jacket"
"First time for everything eh?" he smiled and turned, Floated up a few feet and looked up to the stars.
"Its beautiful out tonight," he looked down and smirked, "hopefully you haven't lost your quickness."
" Its only been 2 months. As if you could beat me now."
" Haven't lost your quick wit I See. Lets see if you can keep up." he flew off playfully and waited for me. I flew into the air and sped past him, he simply shrugged And tried to keep up, There was no way and he knew it. It felt great, being out Flying again, like I used to. be3ing with the guys, getting ready, For drinks again was going to be great.
"Tonight is a council meeting, were meeting about the Tuffle raids. The recruiter is going to be there." Those words stopped me dead in my tracks, Merly Flew by and turned back to see what the matter was and nearly ran into a wall.
"I don't want to go." I whispered quietly, I know now who he waited to tell because if he would've told me at the front door I would've have come. we were halfway there and he would've been angry that I wasn't able to stay tonight. I was already almost there mine as" well go. Ill just sit in, no need to say anything. The one thing I'm worried about is the fact that almost all the recruiters know who my father is, and expect me to join. And when I say no, They always give me a hard time. ill live. I always do.
"You coming?"
"Yeah, you're smart by the way, if you would've told me at home I would-"
"Have stayed home. I know. But this recruiter.. Knows who you are." That scared me a bit.. A recruiter, who knows who I am.. I didn't know any recruiters. I've never actually come to know one personally. How does he know me? This should be interesting. The one thing I can always look forward to is having a cold glass of Klad. The drink every time I drank it made me tremble from the top of my head to the bottom of my toes. Made me feel all warm inside. Delicious.
As we showed up, near the window, I watched the Recruiter look in our direction, and give both me and Merly a GIANT Smile. He lit up, I looked down, and knew this night was not going to be fun. In his hand the recruiter had a glass of Klad in his hand. Maybe he wont be so hard to talk to. This will go easier than I think. Hopefully.
"Krade! Merly! So Good To see you!" He raised his glass of Klad into the Air and Gave us both Big hugs. No only did he smell of a drunk, this was just awkward. Who is this man? I have no idea who he is, and he knows my name. Meaning. He knows my lineage. Great. Just another recruiter to tell me how imp wasting my talents here instead of on the frontlines.
"Come come, I want to talk to both of you." He pulled to a table, as the entire Diner started to talk as if we never walked in. Id rather it be that way anyways.
"how have you been Krade?!" His eyes focused all over me, as if he was truly happy to see me.
"Good, I never caught your name.."
"Ah! Of Course, How rude of me, I am recruiter, and Commander Railes." He saluted me and took another drink of his Klad. He tilted his head back as he chugged the rest of his Klad. He let out a momentary sigh and Folded his hands across his chest.
"As I was saying, How are you?"
"I'm great, I'm a father as of two months ago."
"so the legacy lives on. The strong blood of K-"
"Please, Id rather you didn't." he seemed kind of set back by this.
"Ah my apologizes young one, I wasn't aware that you took it so hard.." he looked as though I was ludicrous. Yes it had been15 years but that's 15 years of knowing there was a man out there who left you alone with no money to kill people. Learn to prioritize. honestly I didn't really care I just didn't want to hear it.
"Well your brother took it quite well, and he was much closer to him than you were." At first I thought he was joking. But the look on his face told me he wasn't. I don't have a brother.
"What?"
"Revleck, your brother, is currently 5th in command around the nation of Saiyan's, he's leading us in on this entire Onslaught against the Tuffle's."
"I don't have a brother."
"Oh but you do." He chuckled as if I were making a joke. I lowered my brow.
"No I don't. I've always been an only child."
"You mean.. he never told you?" His voice got quieter as he leaned in.
"Who told me what?" I looked at Merly and he got up and walked away he knew it was getting intense. He understood.
"your father, he never told you about your brother?'
"Apparently not.."
"Why didn't he tell you?" His voice trailed off as if he was thinking about something really deep. My patience was growing thin. I would like to know who this man is.
"First off old man you sound crazy," My voice started to raise, my anger growing with it, " I've never had a brother, I don't know who Revleck is, and I Don't know who you are, I
only knew my Father till I was 4, then he went into the military. and Then my mother and I were told he was Missing in Action.. "
"Oh boy. You have so much to learn."
"No, you just have so much to tell." I hissed through my teeth. This old man was crazy.
"Please, humor me, Sit through the Speech and the meeting. We will talk more at the end."
" But I--" As I reached my arm out to stop him, he was already gone. Into the crowd of people he disappeared. I leaned back in the chair and stared at the spot where the old man once sat. I thought over the words that he just spit at me. A brother? What? That doesn't make sense.. how? when? Where.. Where is he? That question hit me the most.. If I do have a brother. Hess not younger than me. Because my mom was never pregnant. Unless.. There was another woman.. No. He wouldn't… Would he?
"Hey The meetings starting, we've got front row seats, lets go,." as if I wanted front row seats, I pushed through the crowd and took the only seat left. The one next to the commander. Great. Merly Smiled and gave me an evil smirk. I lipped the words I hate you in his direction. he simply looked down. The commander stood up and I rushed and sat down at my seat. Its amazing how He stood up and the room Just dies. all the commotion clutter and everything else just stops immediately. He must really be a commander.
"Welcome Saiyan's, One and All! I hope you have all had a great time tonight with your fellow warriors. As you know I am a recruiter. But not just any recruiter, a recruiter for an army that will not fail, I recruit you, if I don't think your material for the army, then you simply wont get in." He got Quiet and waited for anybody t ask questions. No one said anything.
"Good. Now we can move on. Tonight I will focus on three Elements. One. Becoming the Saiyan you were made to be. Two. raising you To fight truffles. And my most important point. Fighting the tuffle raids. As you know, tonight All our Men who are supposed to be watching the bay are here at this meeting, so we have spread out our forces and watched the majority of the bays that we can. They haven't done any raiding or attempted to in about a month. but they can strike at any moment," the entered room sighed, we knew the attacks haven't gone on because wave done such a good job on defending All of us, Including the general Highly doubted any more attacks would make it through, but he was right, we don't know when there going to attack. But the chances of them attacking were very slim.
"Our lives are valuable. Among us, we have the blood of a true warrior, one who refuses to join our ranks, the Son of Krade!" The entire room erupted into Clapping and rejoice, as if I were some super hero. I just Smiled, this is why I don't come to these types of things for the simple fact that, I hate attention.
"He is a great example of my next point. Being the Saiyan you were made to be." His voice got quitter so people would listen, That's ridiculous. How dare he. "He has the gene of A ruler of worlds, someone who is a hero. One that was rumored to be.. Well as if I need to say anymore, you all know the tales." But I didn't, what was he talking about? I cant wait for him to finish. One to Punch him in the mouth, and two To ask him more and more about these speeches.. And my brother.
"He Could rise above us all. But he wont. He contains his energy and stays here, whole his brethren fight, we've all watch him grew up, as a child he was tested for elite Classes and passed all of them. Yet here he sits. Not on the frontlines, Not fighting for our Planet. Not. being the Saiyan he can be." He knew this made me angry. I could feel the wooden chair under my fingers start to splinter under my fingers. One problem I had growing up and still do have. Controlling my emotions. But so did my father. I wonder if My Brother Does..
"My last point is no longer important. We need as many Saiyan's who belong in the army as Possible, Starting with Krade. We Need you. this entire meeting was set up for you." he turned and looked down at me. Suspense.. Tension grew in the room. Every single recruiter. and I Haven't even had a glass Klad.
"As you all know. My Father was a strong and Noble Saiyan. He did what he felt he was Called to. What you all see, on the ads, become a hero, all of this.. This Bullshit the press sells to you. Is nothing near the real Story." Everyone grew Quiet. The commander sat, and I stood. "My father Left when I was only 4 years old. I did not know him. As ALL of you know, It is disgraceful for women to work and Live on there own. My father left me and my mother, with no letters, no notice, No money, And no word of where he was going. It was only a year later that we found out that father went MIA. For you rookies. Missing in Action. You all see the glory he Got Him and His Squad. They all Sacrificed themselves, to save Hundreds of Saiyan elite Warriors. What you didn't see was the pain, and the struggle and the problems I went through life as a Bastard." Everyone in the room was quiet. No one would make eye contact with me. "I just had a beautiful baby boy, he's laying at home right now, Laying in bed. And a beautiful Wife. Whose taken care of my child.. My Child! My offspring. And I swore to myself that I would never.. EVER Put them through the same pain that My mother And I went through.." A man knocked on the window and the Commander Wished him away and he simply looked at the dirt and walked away.
"The only way I Will ever join the army to fight truffles is when they inflict direct damage to me and my family, Until then. I will have to deny your Proposal," with those last words I sat down. The rest of the Meeting went by in a flash. He talked about what we would do if we joined tonight. On the base. Training, Friendships, Battles, Etc, etc. I wasn't listening, I was busy holding back, Destroying this chair.
After he was done he simply sat down and people filed out. No one talked. But after the first person went outside they all flooded with gasps and people running home for this or that. I haven't been to a meeting in a long time so I couldn't l if this was normal or not. Either way, UI had to Talk to Commander Railes.
"How old is my brother?"
"25, But he looks almost identical to you." He knew I was going to ask questions. he was prepared.
"Why didn't my father tell me about him? He's five years older than me, he had to know about me and Him at the same time. Why didn't he say anything?"
"you were young, Very young, And as far as he knew, Revleck wasn't alive anymore."
"Where is he?"
"Base Railes, My personal base, located near here, if you join you will meet him."
"What are the tales about my father you were talking about?"
"When your father led his squad into the Temple Of Graun, The truffles say he was glowing a golden color with electric blue eyes, and he seemed to be super fast, ever since then, the rumors have gone around about your father being a Super Saiyan." He said Super Saiyan as if it were a secret.
"Super saying's are just Myths, a Childs Tale! There Not real!" I screamed.
" We don't know." There was a long silence. I thought about what he said.. A super Saiyan. My father? Like.. The super Siayins? Threes only Two myths. Well Three.. Including my father.
"Did the truffles know about the other Myths?" If they knew about the myths, Then they could've just assumed. But if they didn't..
"No. Truffles have never been educated on Saiyan Culture. They don't care." My jaw dropped. My father.. a Super Saiyan.. No. Its not possible.
"Any other questions?"
"Why doesn't my brother ever contact me, or try to contact me? Does he even Know I'm alive?"
"He does. He talks about you frequently, how he wishes there was another Heirloom, someone as strong as he. Someone he can train, just like your father taught him." My dad taught Revleck.
before I could get out another sentence. Merly sprinted into the door and With super speed pulled me from my chair, and drug me outside, the panic in his body and in his eyes, Frightened me.
"The raids. They- They-- She- He-- There raiding your side of town!" His words flew out and I sped into the air without my jacket, and Sped home as fast as I could. Pleas please please please please…As I got closer I saw the Tuffle Hover Near my street.. And Fires going on behind it.. Where is the Guard?? whose Shift is it tonight? I recalled the Commander.. Less men.. spread out.. The raids.. They knew..
"Shit!" I flew Home and Stopped the second I found my house. The roof was on fire and I sprinted Inside and kicked the door in.
"Look at what we have here.." he held my Wife by the throat with some kind of pistol contraption.
"Hey!" The tuffle looked at me and I flew as hard as I could and hit him with my shoulder in the stomach, he flew into the back wall and lay there lifeless. The pain grew within me. The anger grew as I realized my wife.. Was Naked, and Cut. All over her Body. I balled my fist and cursed under my breath. Then.. I felt a sharp pain. Cut into my Back. I turned to find Two more Tuffle's One with a Knife and the others knife in my back. I let out a yelp and Threw my fist as hard as I could at the Tuffle's Stomach. He didn't have time to react, I hit him so hard, he puked blood not my for arm. He fell on the ground and never moved again. While he didn't have time to react, His friend, did, he threw the knife and stabbed me right on the collar bone. At the exact time, another blade entered my back, and was twisted, this time a little below the shoulder blade. I felt the pain sink in and as I turned around to face my other Opponents, the other Tuffle, kicked the gotten to me. Ever since.. I've been married.. Training was the least of my worries. They blade went in deeper, dropping me to my knees. I'm rusty.. All these years of not training... Has picked me backed up and hit me relentlessly everywhere on my body. I knew something was wrong because.. I started to stop feeling pain. I was dying. One of them picked me up from the ground while the other One Pinned me to the Wall. Just enough for me to see my wife.. And what they Were doing to her. The anger rose up in me.. My blood boiled. As I took a step forward, The tuffle Hit me again with his elbow this time right above the eye brow, I started to bleed, into my eye. The blood smelled thick. I have lost.. so much blood… One of them stopped Touching my wife and went to the other room, and Grabbed my son. The second I saw him.. My Entire body flexed, and I felt how bad my injuries truly were. I screamed at the top of my lungs And He brought him closer to my face. As my son let out a small cry.. I saw the mans hands squeeze.. and start to shake and then.. there was a crack. There was no more Screaming.. There was only silence.
"So easy." He took his blade, and Cut my Childs Lifeless body. as he cut into his arm. I opened my mouth.. And Screamed as loud as I could. The scream shook the house. The fire started to burn through the roof and my Scream shaking the house wasn't helping, fiery boards fell from the ceiling and crushed my wife.
"NNNRAAAUGHH!!!" I grabbed the tuffle who was holding on to my Throat and slammed his head into the wall. I pulled his head back and slammed again and again.. until I felt the cool liquid ooze from his head and onto the floor. And into my hands. I dropped his lifeless body. And turned to the Tuffle holding my Child. My fist balled.. I felt My heart Beat faster and faster.. My head throbbed and my body trembled. I grabbed my head and began to yell.
"RAUGH!! Nunn.. Aught RAUGH!" I fell to my knees and pounded my head against the ground. leaving an indention on my floorboard. My body ached.. My Life. My love My son..
"RAUUGHHH!!! I WONT REST TILL EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU IS DESTROYED BY MY HANDS! ILL BEAT EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU UNTIL YOUR BLOOD RAINS DOWN FROM THE SKIES! YOU DONT KNOW HELL!" The Knives shot out Of my back, both of them Shot through the wall and I Felt the fire around me, wrap around my body as I breathed in I squeezed my fist and threw them to my sides. I stood Up And felt Pain and anger Flood through my entire Body. Energy Shot Out my head, My fists, My feet and every pore of my Body. Everything moved.. Slower. the Fire, The Tuffle Falling, My Sons.. Blood.. Dripping..
Without thinking I was on top of The tuffle Punching as fast as I could as hard as I Could All over his body. Punching and punching and punching, anywhere and everyone on the tuffle. on the ground and everywhere until I shut my eyes and just screamed and punched and punched and punched.. I Just punched and Punched For what seemed like Forever and Kept my pace fast and hard I never stopped I wanted nothing but him to feel my pain.. To Die. The fire stopped and the roof was gone. I screamed one last Yell and Hit the ground as hard as I could. My eyes closed I screamed and felt energy Explode from my body. The house shook an fell to the ground. I turned and Saw The entire Conference Meeting watching me. I didn't Care. I just wanted my wife I wanted to hold her.
I dug through the Hot coals as they burned and scarred My hand I found my wife. Scarred and Black. I picked her Up. And began to cry. As my tears rolled down my face the cold breeze Brushed away the ashes of my Wife and my house.. Flew away. I let out a final Yell that sounded like a dragon roaring. The entire town trembled. MY yellow Aura Was so big it reached the Commander in the very Back. I stood Up Took my shirt off. Wiped my blood off, and wrapped my child in my shirt. My Hair wasn't in my face, my body.. was in so much pain. I Just wanted to hold my son again. I walked towards the Crowd. And They all stepped back and turned away.. Except For The Commander. He held His ground.
"Are you coming With Us?" Was all He said. tears rolled from my face as I held my son.
" I want nothing more to End every single life, of every single blasted tuffle. I want Nothing more.. Than to Go with you."
"You've ascended. You.. Are a Super Saiyan." He patted me on The shoulder and Smiled.
