I stared at the floating man in front of me and for a literally a minute I was speechless. Our background was full of stars and even under my feet I was somehow floating in space yet I could not take my eyes off the man in front of me.
I knew the person in front of me yet I did not.
He was a figment of a writer's imagination Akira to be exact and yet I felt fear emanating from me, for he was not the hero of legend but the one who wore his body as was the antithesis of the greatest hero.
"Are you done staring at me?"
"Goku Black"
"You are calling me that even if are 100% sure that I am not him"
"Why?"
"Why not?"
"I mean why did you take that form?"
"You are directly asking me that so let me humor you. I have taken this form as this is person whom you respect most"
"Goku black is not someone whom I respect"
"What difference does it make after all I would be your childhood hero if I had decided to wear orange and blue"
"Yet you wore black"
"I am doing what you humans call foreshadowing or preparing you for what is to be done to you"
"I don't think anything done by Goku Black would by any means be good for my health and sanity"
"You are correct"
"Okay" I mumbled
"I am going to send you to a separate dimension and with only one directive survive for a minimum 100 years and if you die by any chance before that you will be back to square one and all everything you gained in the previous life will be lost to you and your task is to become Freiza."
"Wait What?"
"Yes you heard right create P.T.O conquer planets sell them buy them and exterminate them and all that jazz."
"Wait which universe are you sending me to?"
"The DC universe you know the one with Superman, Batman, Green lantern etc etc"
"What the hell! there is no way to succeed in that universe there too many outliers there Darksied, Parallax and all the Rainbow Corps which are near impossible to defeat even if you give me Brolly's powerset"
"I am not giving you Brolly's powerset "
"What ? Then Regular Saiyan Superman or a lantern ring"
"Nope"
"Namek or Hit or Freiza"
"No"
"Then how do you expect me to survive?"
"Actually I don't. Let me elaborate you know hamsters right?"
"Yes"
"They are very cute to look at from a human's point of view "
"Okay"
"Yet all they ever do is run inside a wheel all day long as many people gush and comment how cute it is and when one eventually dies a new hamster doing the same thing all over again and now I am sure you have realized that you are my hamster"
"I will die "
"Yes you will but I am not heartless I will not send you there without giving you even the slightest bit of power after all it is Superhero universe if and to survive you need two things money or power. I will grant you power as your starting point you will have no value or use for money."
I saw him raise his palm and a ball of light erupted from it and hit me or got inside me and for a moment I felt powerful or high I couldn't differentiate.
"What was that" I exclaimed
"That was KI" he replied
"And?"
"Just Ki"
"What! That is terrible without any non human trait I might never be a able to stronger than Krillian."
"On a second thought" He raised his palm again and another ball of light struck me.
"There now you will survive in space without a spacesuit"
"Is that all?"
"Yes"
"That is not enough"
"Why! Aren't you human, you are of a species that is known for its greatness, creativity, ingenuity? "
"That is used when all human accomplishment are used as a collective not individually."
"Hmm I am done. You are boring me" As he placed an arm on my shoulder and the next second I was on land.
"Good luck" He said as he stood 7 feet above me and gave me one of Goku's famous two fingered salute and he disappeared via I.T.
My eyes widened as I stared at the sky there was a Blue Sun and two Moons.
