Chapter 1
Enter West City, the large metropolis that was also the home of the legendary Capsule Corporation. This global corporation supported the world with its brand name capsules and home made items. Each capsule could contain anything from a car to an entire house.
The population of the city was in the millions with all different social classes. The flying vehicles of this age were prevalent all around. The cities citizens ranged from humans to aliens to the bizarre. This was an age of new races roaming the planet Earth, such as Nameks and Meatians. Even a Changelings wasn't a strange sight these days.
The peace on the planet Earth had been stable for over one hundred years. The monster Majin Buu had once terrorized and even destroyed the planet during that time, but thanks to the help of now forgotten heroes, the peace to the Earth has been steady. Earthlings and other races from other planets have learned to co-exist without strife or conflict.
Now then, the center fold of this tale is about a young boy named Gohei. He was about nine years old with brown skin and black eyes. His spiky, black hair was short, but stood out from his head. A pink scar was running down the right side of his face, eclipsing his right eye to his cheek. Gohei was an abnormal youth. He was unusually strong for even someone twice his age. He also had other strange abilities that were highly unusual in this day and age. As such, he wore a black martial arts outfit consisting of black, baggy martial arts pants and a black tank top. He was an orphan, not knowing anything of his past and nothing of his origins. He has spent all of his young life living at a small orphanage in West City.
The orphanage itself was rather small and was getting on in age, as seen in the structure that was slowly falling apart. The only money the place received was from the city, but that was hardly anything at all. There were about twenty kids besides Gohei residing in the orphanage, all waiting for adoption. Their ages varied from three to fourteen years old. Every once in awhile, a new face would show up in the place and every once in awhile a kid would be adopted. But, not Gohei. His strange abilities kept most potential adopters away. His strength was also the reason why the other kids picked on him often. All this has caused Gohei to have a cold attitude towards others, especially strangers. He now feels as if he is the only one that he can trust.
Any who, it was one particular day at the orphanage that changed young Gohei's life forever…
Gohei was sitting on the roof of the orphanage, his usual hangout, staring at the clouds in the sky. He suddenly heard the door that led up to the roof open and cursed under his breath. He knew it had to be trouble. A small group of boys, maybe a few years older than Gohei, approached him. The one that seemed to be leading them was bigger than the rest. He had a red Mohawk, a green vest, and green shorts on. He sneered angrily at Gohei.
???: You…I thought I told you to stay off this roof?!
Gohei: Screw off Darunga. I don't feel like doing this today.
Darunga: Is that so? Too bad. You're face pisses me off. Get up.
Gohei didn't budge. He simply closed his eyes, trying to ignore the group. Darunga growled in anger, grabbed Gohei's shirt, and pulled him up.
Darunga: I'll get your sorry ass up myself. You're a freak. You know what we do to freaks?
Darunga suddenly punched Gohei in the face, causing him to skid back against the ground. The group of boys began to snicker. Gohei groaned and wiped the blood off his face. He then stood, looking towards the ground. He put his hands in his pockets and said nothing for a few moments.
Gohei: You know…I've been trying to keep my cool, but you know what? I don't care anymore. If you all wanna get pummeled so bad, then fine.
Suddenly, a blue, fiery aura began to surround Gohei. It created shockwaves throughout the area, causing the group of boys to fly back. Only Darunga managed to hold his ground, but just barely.
Darunga: *grunting* You…really are a freak!
Gohei: Damn straight. You still wanna do this? I'm in a particularly bad mood today.
Darunga: D-Don't push your luck kid!
Darunga charged at Gohei in a blind fury. There was a loud, smacking sound a few moments later. Darunga hit the ground, out for the count. The aura around Gohei slowly faded away as he put his right hand back into his pocket. The group of boys suddenly ran off in a hysterical manner. Gohei sighed and walked over to Darunga.
Gohei: You're lucky you're not even worth my time. You'll live.
The door to the roof top opened again and Gohei turned his head towards it. This time, a girl, about the same age as Gohei, stepped out. She had long, blue hair, tied into a ponytail. Her outfit consisted of a white blouse and a blue mini-skirt with red sneakers. She also had ring-like bracelets around her arms. She quickly ran over towards him and noticed Darunga.
???: Ah, there you are Gohei. I see you're up to no good again.
Gohei: Tyla. He started it. They're the ones that always start it.
Tyla: *sadly* I know. *suddenly* Are you hurt?
Gohei: No. Thanks. Look, let's get outta here before one of the supervisors shows up. I don't feel like dealing with them today.
Tyla: Good idea. I think you're in enough trouble already.
The two quickly sprinted for the door and went down the stairs. Tyla too was an orphan. She had been in the orphanage as long as Gohei and the two had been nearly inseparable the entire time. She felt as if she was the only one who could keep Gohei out of trouble. She was also the only friend he had. The way the other kids treated him pained her greatly, so she always felt the need to keep a close eye on him.
The two ran to the back of the orphanage, which was a playground of sorts. It was in rather bad condition, like everything else around. The two took a seat on the swing set and began to swing. This was a normal spot for them in which the two often came to talk and escape the realities of this place.
Gohei: Jeez. This place is a shit hole.
Tyla: Gohei! Watch you're mouth! Cursing is bad!
Gohei: Heh. Sorry. Just a habit I'm developing I guess.
Tyla: *sighs* I'm afraid to think of what would happen to you if I weren't here.
Gohei: *yelling* Don't say that!
Tyla: *surprised* Oh! I'm sorry! I…I didn't mean too…
Gohei: No…sorry. I overreacted. It's just that, I don't trust anyone else here besides you. If you weren't here…well…I think I'd lose my mind.
Tyla was surprised by his words. She'd never heard him say anything like that before. She felt her face growing warmer by the second and turned her head.
Tyla: Well, that's good to hear. I'm glad you appreciate all my hard work.
Gohei: Hard work? You do that?
Tyla: *annoyed* What was that?!
Gohei: *quickly* Nothing. Nothing. Forget I said anything.
The two began to stare at the clouds in the sky. It was midday now and it wouldn't be long before lunch. Gohei suddenly stood, as if something just hit him. Tyla stared on with a vexed look on her face.
Tyla: What's wrong? Got a tummy ache?
Gohei: What? No! Listen. I've made up my mind. I'm taking you and we're gonna leave this place. Once and for all.
Tyla: Ya know, this isn't the first time you've thought of this.
Gohei: I know, but I'm serious this time. I wanna get you outta this shi…crap hole.
Tyla: Wow. What a gentlemen. But, how do you suppose we go about doing this? Are you going to fly us out of here?
Gohei: Well actually…
Suddenly, a loud siren began to sound throughout the city. Tyla covered her ears a bit. Gohei suddenly sensed something strange.
Gohei: *thinking* What the hell is this?! I-I can't describe it in words.
Tyla: Jeez! Does that thing have to be so loud?! *noticing Gohei* Is something wrong?
Gohei: Huh? I'm not sure. Tyla. I think we should…go.
Tyla: Well, that is the cities emergency siren. I guess something is happening. We should go inside and meet up with everyone else.
Gohei suddenly grabbed her and began to fly into the air. Tyla began to shriek as he soared over the city.
Gohei: Jeez! Stop screaming! What's you're problem?!
Tyla: *hysterical* Y-You're flying! How the heck are you doing this?!
Gohei: I tried to tell you before that damn…darn siren went off. Just a few weeks ago, I sort of…figured out how to fly.
Tyla: Just figured out?! I knew you were a little weird, but this is crazy! Where are we going anyway?
Gohei: I've got this strange feeling about something, but I can't put my finger on it.
Tyla: You have got to be kidding me! What else could go wrong today?
Gohei suddenly stopped. Tyla braced herself as he did. The two looked to see a large group of what appeared to be large, red flying saucers in the air. There had to have been hundreds of them. Gohei looked below and saw what appeared to be the West City army mobilizing below. The cars were being forced off the road by the military and a person on an intercom suddenly began blazing a message throughout the city.
Intercom: Attention Citizens of West City! Please evacuate the city! I repeat, please evacuate the city. It is under attack by alien invaders. Please, evacuate for your own safety. Military personnel will assist with the evacuation. The city will become a war zone in approximately fifteen minutes. Please evacuate the city immediately. I repeat…
The message then began to repeat itself. More and more tanks, aircraft, and soldiers were now arriving in the city below. Gohei and Tyla had no idea what was going on exactly.
Tyla: Alien invaders?! Who could that be? Isn't the Earth neutral with just every alien species out there?
Gohei: Guess not. I think they're the thing I was sensing. I think…
Tyla: Oh no! I know what you're thinking! You wanna go check this out! Well, no way! They said to evacuate the city and that's exactly what we should do!
Gohei: What? You wanna sit back and miss all the fun? How boring you are.
Tyla: Boring and safe! Come on Gohei! Let's just go somewhere safe.
Gohei: Damn. *sighs* Ok. Let's get outta here.
Gohei began to fly a good distance away from the commotion. As he did, the sound of gunfire could be heard picking up. Whatever was happening was just beginning. After a few minutes, he landed in a forest outside of town.
Gohei: Well, looks like I fulfilled my promise after all, eh?
Tyla: This is no time for jokes! We're in the middle of no where!
Gohei: Jeez. I bring you to a safe place and you still complain. What is it that you want me to do exactly?
Tyla: Ugh! Quiet you! Well…I guess we needed to get out of the city anyway.
The sounds of gunfire and lasers was even louder now. Tyla shrieked and covered her ears as a flash lit up the sky. Gohei quickly covered her up as some metal crashed near them.
Gohei: Ah man! What in the hell is going on?!
Tyla: We should move from here too!
Gohei suddenly sensed the strange presence again and it seemed like it was getting closer. He quickly flew Tyla and himself to a denser part of the forest. The feeling was getting closer and closer as he flew. The two then noticed a small village. By that village, was one of the red ships they saw back in West City.
Tyla: Why are we so close to that thing Gohei?!
Gohei: I sensed it again. That feeling.
Tyla: Gohei?! This is no time to go crazy now!
Gohei suddenly began to fly towards the village. He knew he had to do something. He didn't feel comfortable just sitting back and doing nothing. It was as if something inside him knew he had to do this for a long time. Tyla began to shriek as they flew.
Tyla: Gohei, you idiot! What do you think you're doing now?!
