The Kamikaze Chronicles:
The Kamikaze Chronicles:
Saiyajin Destroyer
In Japanese, the word "kamikaze" means "divine wind". On the Planet Earth, it means something along the lines of "suicide bomber" or "destructive force". Sadly, these people know nothing of the rest of the universe, which has one definition for the word kamikaze: Harris.
Harris was a Saiyajin, one of a warrior race feared across the universe. But Harris, in particular, became very well-known. He had several nicknames, the most prominent of those being "The Kamikaze" and "The Saiyajin Destroyer". And would you believe he was only 11 at the time?
His father was Brusse, the most powerful Elite-Class warrior they had, and one of King Vegeta's personal advisors. Yet, when Harris was only 7, he bested his father in a sparring match. When King Vegeta heard of this, he thought it must be a fluke, and challenged the boy to an all-out sparring match. If Harris were to win, he would be given the princess's hand in marriage. Of all the Saiyajins Harris had ever met, Caulifla was the most perfect. The only problem was her strong desire not to fight. But he didn't care. This was still a very high honor. Not only did Harris strongly hold his own, but he won that match, using for the first time a move that would later become his namesake: the Kamikaze Cannon.
Harris immediately began working, clearing off planets like the rest of his race. He was sent to clear Planet Cawrolth, a job that would've taken 2 full grown Elites 3 days to complete. Harris did it in half that time, by himself. Thoroughly impressed, King Vegeta invested in a special space pod for Harris, with built-in AI and a temporal stasis generator. Harris would only ever age when he was outside his pod…
Harris was 14, at least physically anyway. The computer kept track of it for him. Last time he'd been awake, he'd heard that the bastard of a creature, Frieza, had, not long before, destroyed the entire Planet Vegeta, including his parents, Brusse and Hominey, and even King Vegeta died. As far as he knew, only he had survived… He had also heard that Frieza had heard of the Saiyajin legend, the Super Saiyajin, and had become scared. Harris knew, in his heart, that Frieza thought that a Super Saiyajin could defeat him, and he was determined to do all in his power to do just that. Become a Super Saiyajin and defeat Frieza. But first, he'd set a course for Vegeta, to prove the story right or wrong. He had come out of temporal stasis already, so they were close, but he couldn't see the planet. "Computer, run a scan on the surrounding area. Is Vegeta anywhere in its orbit?"
The computer made an almost sad, melodic beep. "I'm sorry, Harris… Vegeta's gone."
Tears began to fill Harris's eyes. It couldn't be true, and yet it was. Caulifla was gone, his mother, his father, and everyone he'd ever known. All gone, because one monster was scared that someone would get too powerful and overthrow him… Harris could feel the rage growing, and the tears stopped. Images of his friends and family flashed through his mind, and his body began to tremble. His rage was shaking him to the core, and he could feel his power growing higher and higher. He swore he would use this new power to avenge his race. When he couldn't take it anymore, the tears began to flow again, faster than ever before, and he screamed out in rage. He didn't realize it then, but the computer did. His hair had gotten longer, and his eyes had disappeared. He had, for the first time, reached a level beyond that of the ordinary Saiyajin. He was a Super Saiyajin. The computer let him calm down before saying anything, and once Harris had calmed down and settled back again, the voice spoke. "Hey, Harris?"
Harris looked up. "Yeah?"
"You know… I think you can beat him. You're a Super Saiyajin, I'm sure of it. Let's go get him. I'll keep the scouter program running on the external sensors. You want to go back into stasis?"
Harris shook his head, and the computer was shocked by this. "No, I've gone into stasis too much, and I need some real sleep."
The computer beeped affirmatively. "I understand. You get some sleep; I'll let you know if we get a contact." And so Harris slept. The computer did its best to search for Frieza, communicating with other space vessels for possible leads, but none had them. Finally, the computer found a lead. Frieza had been seen heading towards the Beta quadrant. The most likely planet for Frieza to go to there was Treval. Treval was a planet that Frieza had been wanting to conquer for a while now, but he'd never gone there to do it yet. If Frieza was coming to this quadrant, it was to come to Treval, the computer was sure.
"Hey, Harris, wake up!" Harris came to slowly. "We're at Treval."
Harris looked around sleepily. "Huh? Treval? What are we doing there?"
The computer beeped in a sigh-like sound. "I heard that Frieza's spaceship had been seen going into the Beta quadrant."
Harris shrugged. "Oh. Well, that makes sense, I guess… He's been wanting Treval."
"That's what I figured."
Harris nodded. "Good work. Well, go ahead and descend."
"Alright. Descending to Treval. You'll get Frieza for sure, I know you will." Harris gave a half-smile, but didn't answer.
The pod shuddered as they began to enter the atmosphere of Treval. Finally, they hit the ground, a small crater forming around the pod. "This is your stop, Harris. Good luck."
Harris chuckled. It still amused him that his computer would wish him good luck. "Thanks. With this fight, I may need it…"
Harris began to hover, moving forward slowly. After getting used to the gravity, he began to move faster, and rose up into the air. Pressing a button on his scouter, he scanned the area. His scouter was top of the line, able to identify unique energy signatures. The problem was, he'd never met Frieza before. He did, however, see something he'd never expected to see. It was a Saiyajin energy signature!
"A Saiyajin? But I thought they were all destroyed!! Well, I guess it makes sense that some of them would have been off the planet and didn't get killed…" He flew in that direction, hoping to make an ally in the fight against Frieza. He would need it, he was certain.
The signature was below him now, and he landed. Looking around, he saw the Saiyajin. He was leaning against a tree. Wait, leaning against a tree? He'd never seen a Saiyajin just lean against a tree.
The Saiyajin laughed. "Well, well, well… It took you long enough!"
Harris was confused. "Wait, you were waiting for me? How did you know I'd be here?"
The other Saiyajin apparently thought this was funny. "Oh, because I planted the information your pod got, Harris. I brought you here to destroy you. I'm going to become the new Saiyajin Destroyer! And, since I'm a Super Saiyajin and you're not, that should be easy." And the Saiyajin in front of Harris yelled out, his hair turning gold and standing on end.
Harris knew this wouldn't be easy, but he wasn't worried. They blocked each other blow for blow. Finally the onslaught ended, and the other Saiyajin gawked at him. "But… but how??"
Now it was Harris's turn to laugh. He screamed, his hair growing longer and his eyes disappearing, and the other Saiyajin's eyes widened. "You can't hold back on me, kid."
The Saiyajin was completely shocked. How did Harris know he'd held back? That was a question even Harris was asking himself, at the moment.
An all-out war ensued, neither Saiyajin holding back even an ounce of energy. Before long, Harris had been injured. His left side was bleeding out, and it was something he wouldn't be able to heal without serious help. He was pissed, and he screamed. His hair turned gold, and his eyes turned green, and the two fought again.
He stood there, helpless to the following onslaught, after which he was sent flying into a tree. He hit his head on the tree, and everything went fuzzy. He took to the air, flying as far as he could as fast as he could. Seeing his pod below him, he landed, and crawled into the pod, his right arm holding his wound. He could barely think, and everything was going black.
The computer seemed worried. "Oh my God! Harris, what happened? I thought you'd be able to take Frieza on, no problem!"
Harris shook his head. "Not… Frieza… Super Saiyajin… Get me… somewhere… safe…" After that, Harris passed out. The computer immediately initiated the temporal stasis field. That way, he wouldn't worsen on the way. The computer set off in search of an inhabitable world that was neutral in the affairs of the universe, preferably one that knew nothing of the surrounding universe. The computer had all the time in the universe to find it, because of the temporal stasis field, so it took its time, being selective about the planet it picked. It was a search that wouldn't end until years later…
