August 29 Age 852
Chapter 1: THE PROPER CHILD! A NEW HERO EMERGES!
Morning had opened with ease. The air was brisk and the clouds hung high in the sky. But Sadako felt otherwise. It's was this exact thing he disliked, morning itself. It meant that he would once again be forced out of his comfortable bed and out into the world. Though his day would get better as it progressed. Hopefully.
After getting ready for the day he walked out of his room and off to the kitchen. There his mother was cooking breakfast for the family or for the members who were there. Yukino seemed to be the only one at the table with their father and older sister being missing.
After greeting his mother he sat down beside his twin. "Where's Rena?" he asked Yukino who looked half asleep. She had probably stayed up all night again. It was an unfortunate habit that the both of them shared.
Poking her head up Yukino eyed her brother with a tired look. He struck gold with his assumption. "She went on a mission with dad." she said placing her head back on the table.
Sadako sighed. He figured as much. Rena had been on none stop missions sense the destruction of Toki Toki city. It was self destructive. Every time he saw her she looked terrible. Despite only being 18 she looked a lot older than she should have.
He sighed at his own cluelessness. He had no idea why she was like this; he couldn't remember anything before he exited 'that place'. He shuddered at the thought.
A plate of food was placed in front of him by his mother and the same was placed in front of Yukino. The black haired girl raised her head slightly and looked at the meal. She gingerly reached for a piece of bacon and nibbled on it weakly.
Struggling to keep a laugh in Sadako took his fork in his hand. "Thanks for the food." he told his mother. She nodded before walking off to grab her own plate.
Yukino and their mother talked as they eat while Sadako was silent. He was more focused on trying to remember. He felt like it was on the tip of his tongue but every time he came close to it the revaluation would step further away. It was giving him a headache.
"That's right!" his mother said catching Sadako's attention. "Since you both are turning 15 you get to try out for the Time Patrol!"
Sadako had forgotten himself surprisingly. Yukino had always talked about it so it was a mystery on his part. Maybe he was losing his memory? He brushed the thought off before it started scaring him. "I don't think I'm going to join."
He felt his sister's eyes on him. "What? I thought we were going to join together!"
Scratching his head Sadako looked away to avoid her gaze. "I don't think its for me."
It was silent after that. Sadako took his plate into the kitchen and went to his room to get ready for the day. Once he was gone Yukino looked to her mother. "He's... just not the same."
Her mother placed her hand on her shoulder. "I know." she spoke sadly.
Sadako walked down the street towards the school. It was a warm day in Conton city. Many of it's citizens were out on their daily grinds as the teenager walked by. It was peaceful. He liked it that way.
From what he was told Conton was much bigger than Toki Toki city. That meant that the population increased as well with a giant city accompanying the rest of the area. Off to the north was a bamboo forest, a place he liked to be alone in. Beyond that was a Namek portion and the desert.
"Hey!"
His peace was ruined.
He looked to where the voice had come from to see a girl much older than him waving him over. Confused Sadako pointed to himself, in return the girl nodded her head 'yes'. He slowly walked over to the girl not wanting to be disturbed but also didn't want to be rude. It was a weird feeling to be sure.
"You're a Saiyan, right?" she asked when he was within range. "Why don't we go somewhere private and you can 'transform' for me?"
Before he could open his mouth to reject the girl Yukino ran in and grabbed Sadako's arm and ran off. "Stop trying to seduce my brother!" she shouted back leaving the girl bewildered.
Once the twins came to a stop Yukino let go of her brothers hand and turned to see him panting from the run. "Thank you." he said breathing in.
"Geez, you've gotten out of shape." She poked him in the stomach. "Do we need to start going on runs again?"
'Again?' he asked himself. "No, I'll be fine."
"Suit yourself." she said adjusting her uniform. She wore a white collared shirt underneath the black blazer. A gray neck tie was loosely tied around her neck matching the trim on the blazer and the checkered skirt around her waist. Her hands were covered by her signature fingerless gloves; her legs with black ankle high boots. A crimson scarf was the only thing to bring color to the outfit, as it was securely wrapped around her neck. "Come on." she said walking through the gate of the school. "We'll be late."
"Attention all proud warriors! Have you ever considered joining the Time Patrol?" The question lingered for a second until the lavender haired man raised his hand and finger matter-a-factually. "As a Time Patroller, you'll prevent history from being changed." A clock scrolled by and then was replaced by the Hero of the Multiverse, Goku being pierced by a Special Beam Cannon. Another clock scrolled by this time showing what should have happened, Goku pinned his brother Raditz with them both being hit by the attack. "Our duty is to protect everyone's memories and help history return to the way it should be." Next to be shown were to Great Apes destroying a city on Earth which was later replaced with a defeated Vegeta on the ground, fighting unconsciousness. "But we need your help! The only requirements are confidence in you capabilities," The lavender haired man appeared again. "And of course a strong desire to protect history. We have school for honing your skills and a fully-equipped item shop!" A picture of a man with long black hair pulling a several trains behind him faded into focus. "How about it? Why not use your strength to help out a great cause?"
The black haired man noticed the camera and an angry looked encompassed his features. "Trunks, you better get that camera out of my face before I shove it up your-"
The screen shifted with 'Trunks' clearing his throat. "We are always looking out for powerful warriors!"
The screen shifted once more replacing Trunks with a small impish figure with pink skin and a rosy colored hair. "Okay, then. Listen carefully. To maintain safety here in Conton City, home to the Time Patrol, there are a few rules you must keep. First firing any ki blasts within the city limits is prohibited. Time Patrollers wishing to fly will not on duty are required to obtain a flying license. Please help keep Conton City safe by obeying its traffic laws. Lastly any alteration of history is a grave offense. Our missions come at the risk of changing history. So you mush exercise the utmost caution. Keeping these things in mind, please carry out your missions safely. For the sake of the world and it's history..."
The screen shifted showing both Trunks and a slightly younger version of the pink skinned girl. "We look forward to welcoming each of you to the Time Patrol!"
It was a introductory video that the students watched every now and again. It was practically engraved into Sadako's head. The main figure however wasn't able to work with the Time Patrol however. Trunks was the Hero of Toki Toki City and he had also died in the fight with Demigra, at least those were the stories.
After the battle Shenron remade Toki Toki City into Conton and the population began to skyrocket. And the need for more Time Patrollers was also increased. That's why the school system was changed; instead of students attending school for 13 years they would go for 10 and at the age 15 be able to sign up for the Time Patrol taking on smaller missions. If not then they would go for the remaining 3 years to find a different carrier.
Sadako found that last option favorable. Though he had no idea why.
"Alright class, we have five summons from the Supreme Kai of Time. Please take your seats." Summons were different from applying. Summons were full on requests to work directly along side the Supreme Kai of Time or to join the Hero Society. In this case it seemed to be the Supreme Kai of Time that was summoning. The teacher opened the scroll. "Let's see. Yukino Dorujin-"
"YES!" Yukino cried out in excitement gaining the attention of the entire class. Feeling the leer from the other students her eyes widened and a blush spread across her face. "Sorry..." she said sliding back into her chair.
"Ahem, Mizuki Korama, Kain Cerberus, Gris Vagabond and-" He paused as if rereading it again. Blinking a few times the teacher looked up and squarely at Sadako. "Sadako Dorujin."
This had honestly taken him by surprise. How was he chosen?
Sadako wasn't given the chance to question the summon as the teacher continued. "You five are excused from class, please report to the Time Nest at noon for your mission briefing."
"Hell yeah!" Yukino cried out as she burst through the school doors with Sadako following after her at a more sedated pace. "Come on Sadako!" she said turning to her twin. "Aren't you excited?"
"Your tail is out." he said causing his sister to notice the brown fury appendage moving back and forth, as if it had a mind of it's own.
Yukino lifted up the ends of her blazer letting her tail wrap around her waist. "Thanks."
Sadako nodded before he continued. "No, I'm not excited. I don't even know why I was chosen. I can't fight like you."
"Don't say that! I've seen you pin dad down before!"
"I don't remember that." Sadako deadpanned.
"Plus we could train together to get even stronger." she powered up allowing her ki to shoot out of her body. Her hair began to rise and shift color. Her aura became golden and the her hair. His sisters' power was something that had always surprised Sadako. Out of the three siblings Yukino was the first to become a Super Saiyan. "I could help you become a Super Saiyan too!" She let the power escape her and her hair fell back down. "All I want you to do is give it a try." she said sadly.
Sadako hated seeing that face. It was one of his weaknesses; a single crack in a house of glass. He couldn't resist it. "Fine, I'll give it a try." he repeated her words causing his twin's face to lit up in joy.
"Yes!" she yelled grabbing his hand once again. "Let's go!"
"Go? Where?"
"To the Time Nest!"
"But the scroll said noon!"
"It never hurts to be early~!"
"We'll be waiting for four hours!"
"When is it going to open?!" Yukino whined.
"I told you. Noon. And it's only, you know, 11:30. Go down to the Recreation Plaza and do something. I'll get you once it opens." Sadako said to his twin, slowly gaining a slight annoyance to his voice.
Looking to him Yukino's eyes were like saucers. "But, the moment after I leave the portal will open!"
Yukino's eyes softened a bit before giving in. "Fine. I'm going to go get some ramen!" She began to walk off before she turned back to her brother. "Do you want to come?"
This took Sadako off guard. He did feel a bit hungry, but at the same time he wanted to be alone for a little while. He loved his sister, sure, but she was exhausting to be around. "No, I'm fine. I'll stay up here."
A dejected look crept onto the girls face but she hid it well. "Suit yourself." she continued her way down the stairs. 'Damnit!' she thought. 'He still didn't let me through. I'll need to think of something different.' Deep in thought she accidentally bumped into someone. "Sorry!" she said passing the person not bothering to look back at them.
Sadako sat his head against the highly decorated wall. His head hurt. He couldn't help it once he tired to remember. Remember anything from before Age 850. All that popped into his mind was a vast white nothingness.
His mind felt as if it was on fire; his temples rippled with pain. But it all stopped when he opened his eyes. The sudden brightness blinded him for a second before it slowly faded back to normal. "Are you okay?" he heard a voice ask. It was male, slightly deeper than his own but it was full of energy? No, that wasn't it.
When his vision returned he saw a boy standing in front of him. His hair was spiked up elegantly with a bang curling down the right side of his face. A small smirk ran across his face, his red eyes observing the half Saiyan.
"Yeah," Sadako told the boy standing up. "I'm Sadako, and you're..."
"Kain." the red head said outstretching his hand.
Shaking the boy's hand he recognized the name. "I remember your name from the list. You were selected for the for the mission as well I presume."
"Yep, I trained really hard to get here! What about you?"
That was something Sadako was wondering. Yukino, and apparently Kain, had worked to get to where they are now. What made him so special to get in without even trying? His power level wasn't extraordinarily high, nor was his actual experience in combat. He didn't know why but he had a feeling his father had something to do with it. The half Saiyan turned his head away from his new comrade. "Dumb luck, I guess." he muttered.
"What was that?" he heard Kain ask.
"N-nothing." Sadako answered turning back. He didn't want to squander his hopes and dreams by his entry. 'Curse my nice side.'
As if a saving grace another one of the selected arrived causing Kain flocking to them. 'Thank God.' Sadako thought in his head, returning to his thoughts. He tired to return to his previous state of mind failed. Before he could try again a sharp ki flashed through his senses. He opened his eyes to see the portal had opened and a figure could be seen traveling through it.
Betraying the silhouette of a man an impish looking old man walked out. His pale purple skin contrasted off of his vibrant red and blue outfit. Silver hair stuck out of the top of his head. Golden earnings were attached to his pointed elf ears and his wrinkled face gave a twisted smile. "Welcome, Time Patrol cadets! You five have been selected for a special mission! Please, follow me." Without another word he turned and stepped back through the portal.
Though it was far from the weirdest thing Sadako saw, the whole situation weirder him out. One by one his new comrades stepped through the portal after the old man. Before entering Kain turned back to Sadako. "You coming or not?" he asked playfully.
He stepped through leaving Sadako alone.
Sitting there for a second Sadako turned away from the portal ready to go home. Then he stopped remembering his promise to his sister. "Damnit." he muttered as he walked through the portal and into the Time Nest.
Dragon Ball Zenoverse: Mira Saga Opening (Harukaze by Scandal)
Wind sweeps a flame forward through the sky. In the fire the words 'Dragon Ball Zenoverse' are forged. When the fire is extinguished the words cool taking color. 'Dragon Ball' turns a polished silver while 'Zenoverse' takes on an electric blue hue.
Tooku e itte shimau mae ni tsutaenakya to omoinagara
The words fade away as Sadako walks into the family dinning room. As he walks past the table Yukino throws him a piece of toast and sits next to her father. Yukari and Rena look to Sadako as his mother tells him 'Be safe'.
Sekki is the only one who does not acknowledge Sadako's presence.
Kyou mo sugiteyuku jikan Waraiatte sukoshi muneitamete
Sadako continues to walk through Conton as Noodle and many others wave to him. He steps through the gate leading towards the Time Nest where he is met by Chronoa and the Elder Kai. A statue of Trunks can be seen in the background saying 'Hero of Toki Toki City'. The three get to work.
Harukaze ga fuku yoru "Hanaretakunai naa" tte Sonna koto wo omotte nanka yokei ienakunatte
From the Time Scroll Sadako is given Yukino is shown transforming into a Super Saiyan before hopping in the air in excitement. Rena is shown doing the same with a worried yet determined look on her face. Sekki's long hair raises and turns gold as Sadako watches on, lowering his head in shame as he cannot transform like the rest of his family.
"Ashita ne" tte sayonara shite Hitori aruku namiki no shita de
The fire returns only for when it dissipates Mira and Towa are revealed in a destroyed city. Behind them stands an army of shadows; all waiting for the right moment to strike. A glitch hits the image as a close up of Mira's face takes focus. Behind him we see the Masked Saiyan.
Futo omou, yume no ato
Sadako continues to look into the Time Scroll only for him to stare at it in fear. He closes his eyes but reopens them with new found courage. He accepts the mission.
Maiochiru hanabira hirahira
In the destroyed city Rena slashes he sword down on the Masked Saiyan who catches the blade and tosses her asside. Yukino transformes into her Super Saiyan and shoots several ki blasts at him in hopes of slowing him down. The Masked Saiyan jets towards her.
Kokoro no sukima surinuketeku
Down on the ground Sadako runs at Mira charging a teal ki blast in his hand before unleashing it only for his target to vanish behind him. Before Mira can attack he is kicked in the jaw by Sekki.
Sunao ni nannakya
Sekki smirks at the clean hit he had delivered.
Donna itami ga mata boku no kokoro osottemo
Back in the vision of the time scroll Sadako walks forward towards the darkness with his eyes closed. He brings out his aura, brightening the area around him and opens his eyes. His aura intensifies and his iris' begin to shift.
Tozasareta doa no
The four other members of the family look on as Sadako changes. Yukino looks happily at her twin as Rena is a bit skeptical about it. Yukari looks on with motherly worry. Most interestingly Sekki is smirking.
Mukougawa wo mi ni iku kara
Sadako faces his father with a saddened look while Sekki's face is unreadable. Reaching out Sadako tires to grab his father but he is consumed by the light before he can touch him.
Hey it's me, Sadako! As we begin our training to become Time Patrollers something weird occurs and our opponents go berserk. Not to mention they are a lot more powerful to boot. We might want to get serious here. And what's this ominous power I'm felling?
Next time on Dragon Ball Zenoverse "THE TEST BEGINS! AN ELITE TIME PATROLLERS TRUE STRENGTH!" Don't miss it!
Authors Notes
I should probably start this off by thanking every single person who has taken the time to get this far into the chapter without dropping it. And I honestly do not know what else to say...
Let me try again...
Thank you for reading the first chapter of the continuous (hopefully) series of Zenoverse! What is that you may be asking? That's not how you spell 'Zenoverse'? Well that I know and have done it intentionally. You'll see why as this saga continues.
Speaking of which this is a loose adaption of the Xenoverse 2 story. This all started when me (Sparxxs32) and my friend (HaruSutomutaiga9900) started to play Xenoverse 2. Some time after we began we decided to make a loose strain of events and create power-levels for our CAC's and soon we both thought to write a story about it. Since I started my journey in Xenoverse 2 I decided to start here. It was only fitting. And though many, and I mean many, things many be different it will stick to the same core plot.
As for questions fell free to ask and I'll answer them when we next update the series. And, since we did all of them, we'll be posting the power-levels for the characters as they become relevant.
And now that I am just rambling I'll leave it at that. Until next we meet dear reader!
*PLEASE SEND BETA READER! I'M BEGGING YOU!*
