Out from the shadows

A:N- This is a Dragonball Z story I thought about in my spare time a couple of years ago. I do not own DBZ, I do own Jason, I do own Carl-San, and I do own the right to remain silent 

Enjoy!

Chapter 1- Prologue and Backrounds

"Welcome all, welcome! Welcome to the 22nd Tenchaicki Budokai! For all of you that love martial arts and excitement, you are in the right place! Let's get this show on the road. This tournament consisted of 150 entries, but unfortunately, only 16 were allowed to participate. The old Champion Carl-San will automatically be entered in the tournament. The other 15 spots were decided this morning in a qualifying eliminary round. Now, all 15 fighters please appear in the tournament ring! We have to draw numbers to see who is fighting whom. Will these magnificent fighters come out here please!" The announcer announces excitedly.

"As I call your name please step up and draw a number!" The announcer exclaims.

Everyone chose, and then all of the match-ups were decided.

"Will everyone of you please have a little rest in our fighter's lounge as we will be taking a short intermission to set up." The announcer declares.

Everyone walked into the room, and were waiting to see the first fight. Two people started to talk.

"Do you think you are ready for the match-ups?" Carl- San inquired.

"Of course I am master, you trained me!" The fourteen year old exclaimed.

"O.K, but if you think it is too dangerous, please duck out. I might need you to save the earth with me someday." Carl-San added.

"O.K, thank you master," Jason finished, as he walked to the fighter's lounge café.

"This kid has it in him. I know one day, he will become the super sayiajin." Carl-san mumbled to himself.

The tournament started and the first match up was with Jason versus a martial artist known as Hercule.

"Let me introduce the challengers!" The announcer yells above a ecstatic crowd.

"First there is Hercule Satan! Hercule is a martial artist and has competed in one tournament before this one getting into the semi finals before losing to the legendary Carl-San. Then we have the other challenger. A fourteen year old boy who is very skilled for his age. Some say that he will soon be stronger then Carl-San himself. Jason is the student of Carl-San and hopes one day to become #1 under the sun. Let's hear it for these 2 great fighters!" The announcer screams as the audience roars back in excitement.

Jason walked up to the ring and looked at his opponent. He was big, tall, had an afro, and has slightly bulging muscles.

"So kid, are you ready to lock horns with the second greatest fighter ever lived?" Hercule spewed arrogantly.

"I am, count on it." Jason said rather smugly, because it was obvious he didn't want to go out in the first round.

"O.K, let's get this show on the road! Fighters… FIGHT!" The announcer yells, as the crowd went nuts.

Hercule charged Jason too quickly and obviously, Hercule was unaware of Jason's agility, and Hercule fell on the ground, getting a huge red bump (anime style!) on his noggin.

"Why you little! Too scared to throw a punch? Fight me coward!" Hercuel blatantly spewed.

"O.K" Jason said, and he was so quick, he disappeared and reappeared next to Hercule, and gave him a deadly kick to the neck. He fell, unconscious for at least 10 minutes.

"THE WINNER IS… JASON-SAN!!!!!" The announcer yelled, as everyone else had their mouthes wide ajar.

The rounds continued until the semifinals brought 14 year old Jason against a 32 year old Goku-Son.

Meanwhile Carl-San, unworried was in the lounge reading up on martial arts, when he heard the semi finals were about to start. He went outside and looked at the ring and the two challengers in it. 'Good, at least Jason made it to the semifinals, maybe this older kid won't beat him too bad… or maybe Jason could beat him and I could face him in the finals… mentor-v-student, that would be awesome!' Carl-San thought to himself.

"Let me introduce the challengers!" The announcer yells yet again enthusiastically.

"You know this strong kid! The student of Carl-San who had conquered 3 battles before him with his agility, battle tactics, and strength. The determined 14 year old wonder, JASON –SAN!!!!!" The announcer yells.

"The other challenger, is a man who is a disciplined martial artist under the training of the famous Muten Roshi! Goku is 34 years old and is very strong and has competed in a the tournament before the last tournament and fought the great King Piccolo. He became #1 under the sun, until the year after where he didn't show up anymore. Carl-San took the title, and now I am assuming Goku has come back to get his claiming!" The announcer flails.

Carl-San's eye's went wide. 'OH NO!!! Son Goku??? Damn it, this can't happen. I can't have Jason be paired up with him, he will get crushed!'

"Fighters… FIGHT!" The announcer yells as he steps out of the ring.

For a moment Jason and Son Goku looked at each other, their minds locking into a meditative state. For a minute there was complete silence. Then the match began.
Goku lept very swift at Jason-San. He blocked it, and then Jason retaliated with a punch, but it was blocked, and then they were in a web-lock of fighting, punching, blocking and kicking. The magnitude of the fight was enourmous. People's windshields on their cars started to shatter as these two went at it.

'I can't lose, I must show my master I can overcome any fighter! I will not lose. I guess now would be the perfect time to do my surprise attack!' Jason thought.

Jason was focusing all his energy into one hand.

"KAAAAAAMMMMMMMEEEEEEAAAAA" Jason shouted.

'OH NO!!!! HE CAN'T FIRE THE KAMEHAMEHA WAVE! HE WILL DESTROY THE RING!' Carl-San thought.

"HAMMMMMMMMEEEEEE" Jason yelled as the energy ball got bigger.

"Ah! He knows the kamehamea wave? But how?" Goku asked no one in particular.

" DON'T DO IT!!!" Carl- San yelled.

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" Jason said as he fired the blue energy beam directly towards Goku, but he was swift and dodged it. Little did he know, he could control the beam and swerved it back towards Goku, hitting him and knocking him out cold.

"Yes!" Was all Jason managed to say.

The ring was in tatters. The people in the spectators chairs had anime sweat drops. The announcer got wide-eyes and Carl-San then made a startling revelation.

'At age 14 if he can do the kamehameha wave at that magnitude of power, he has definitely surpassed me. Damn, looks like I have no choice but to fight him. But I still have the advantage because he is oblivious to the fact he is stronger then I am, maybe I have a chance after all' Carl-San thought.

"AMAZING! JASON HAS WON AND IS ADVANCING TO THE FINALS!!!!!!" The announcer screams excitedly, still having a few anime sweat drops on his head.

The crowd gaped, then yelled, " MORE! WE WANT MORE!" The announcer grinned wildly.

Then the final round came.

"THIS IS IT FOLKS! THIS WILL BE THE MATCH OF A LIFETIME! SKILLED STUDENT AGAISNT WISE MASTER! DON'T MOVE A MUSCLE BECAUSE THE FINALS WILL BE COMING UP IN 10 SHORT MINUTES!" The announcer excitedly announces.

Jason walked into the fighter's lounge to see very pale participants from other rounds.

"How did you do that???? How can you fly???? What was that light???" Various people asked in the lounge.

Carl-San had no time for this and walked his way into the lounge to talk to Jason. To hush the interrogators, he used a solar flare to daze them, and then eject them from the room as he and Jason talked.

"Hi master, did I do well?" Jason inquired.

"Exceedingly well. I am so proud of you. When I die, you will definitely have to be the one to protect this planet," He said seriously.

"O.K, anyway, what did you want to talk to me about?" Jason asked curiously.

"Jason I have a confession to make. You have surpassed me in strength. I realized that when you fired the kamehamea at such intensity. I could not have done that even with hours to charge up my energy. It has become exceedingly obvious to me, so I just wanted to tell you, that you are now the strongest in the world. If anyone ever comes to Earth, I know you will protect the Earth and it's people as well. Well, let's go and face our last match as Student and Master." Carl-San told him.

Jason was flabbergasted. He was touched but at the same time baffled. He was the strongest? That was impossible. Carl-San was obviously just trying to cheer him up and give him hope to win.

"FIGHERS…. FIGHT!!!!!" The announcer yells crazily.

Carl- San lept at him and gave him a roundhouse punch to the jaw, but he easily retaliated with a punch to the stomach, making him vulnerable. They began to lock into a web-lock of punching kicking and blocking. After 30 minutes, they decided to end this.

"Are you ready for the fight of your life Jason?" Carl-San panted.

"Count on it." Jason said smugly, yet panting.

"KAAAAAAAMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEE" Carl-San yelled.

"Oh, so you want a beam battle huh? Well, let's see if my master still has it in him." Jason yelled over the blast, "KAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMEEEEEEE".

"HAMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEE," They both said in unison.

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" The both yelled, releasing large blue beams of energy against each other.

The magnitude of the blast was amazing. People watch in awe as the tatters of the ring began to crack and fly up to the spectator's chairs.
" I HOPE YOU STILL HAVE MORE ENERGY THEN THIS!!!" Jason yelled smugly.

"THIS IS THE END OF THIS LITTLE MATCH!" Carl-san said as he increased his energy ten-fold, which mildly caught Jason off guard. He powered up to full power, and the beam battle took place for 10 minutes, until Jason over powered it and sent an unconscious Carl-San out of the ring.

"HE IS KNOCKED OUT COLD! LADIES AND GENTELMEN THE NEW #1 UNDER THE SUN… JASON-SAN!!!!!" The announcer as well as the crowd goes nuts.

Jason was exhausted. He never pushed his power potential that far before. He was on the brink of unconsciousness. He fell to the ground happily and took the champion belt, the prize money and flew back to Carl-San's training hut in the mountains, while holding an incapacitated Carl-San in his hands.

FOUR YEARS LATER….

Jason woke himself up to a wonderful, yet chilly day. The sun was out and birds were chirping and he has felt content with his strength ever since he triumphed over his master 4 years ago today. His master had retreated into the mountains to train and hideout for 4 years, but Jason was well off with the prize money he received 4 years previous. Another Martial Arts tournament was coming up soon and He called Carl-San and he obliged to enter. Jason was never so excited in all of his life.

The tournament was once again decided by qualifying round and as usual, the two power people easily passed with flying colors.

The tournament went on and the first and second rounds were boring but the semfinals was between Carl-san and King Piccolo.

'Hmmmm this should be interesting I have heard stories about this guy and now I will see him in action.
"FIGHTERS, FIGHT!" The announcer yells.

The two got each other into a web-lock of punches kicks, blocks, and even some energy was thrown until Piccolo announced, " I am tired of this, I am going to end this now."

'What does he mean 'End this now?'' Jason thought.

"SPECIAL BEAM CANNON!!!" Piccolo yelled.
"Fine, play that way! KAAAAAAMMMMMEEEEEEEHAAAAAAMMMMEEEEEHAAAAA!!!" Carl-San yelled as he powered up his well-known blue beam attack.

The beam battle went on for a good 5 minutes, then Piccolo added all of his power and it hit Carl-San leaving a huge hole in his stomach.

" NOOOOOOOOOO MASTER CARL-SAN!!!!!" Jason screamed furiously.

Carl- San was breathing but only for a brief moment to talk to Jason.

"Jason. Remember what we talked about the Earth and it's people. You are Earth's protector now, so don't let me down." Carl weakly said as he coughed up blood, killing him.

The fire was in Jason's eyes now. Although he wanted to kick his green ass, he said something different instead, "I forfeit." And after that, he didn't compete in a tournament since, but rather went back to train in the mountains. One night he was thinking about his possible parents. Also he was thinking about Carl-San's death. He ate his dinner and went back outside and got all of his anger out. But, then he felt his body start to change.

"Woah, what is happening to me???" Jason asked himself in confusion.

He got angrier inside and finally he snapped, transforming him into a completely different appearance. His hair was golden with turquoise eyes and super strength and a glowing gold aurora surrounding him.

He had become the Super Sayajin.
