BANG!
Ranma was hit... that was all he knew anyway, everything else seemed far away... very far away, his pop seemed to have disappeared and been replaced with a panda from his fall into the small pool. The portly guide was blabbering something about a drowned panda when the thing had hit him in a bee-line towards another pond. Time seemed to stop all together for Ranma as he could almost see everything in crystal clarity, from the grasshopper on the cliff over Genma's shoulder or the water drops flying off the wet bear's fur when everything suddenly went white. He thought this was just him transforming into something strange like a duck, pig, cat, or even a girl, he shuddered at the last thought as the world went black and he slipped into unconsciousness.
---------
Genma watched as Ranma started glowing and flashed bright white as he entered the pool, when the light subsided he waited for his son to resurface in his new form... after a few minutes he looked at the guide who had just recovered from the strange flash of light and started babbling like after Genma himself had fallen into the spring.
"Oooo sir! That very strange! it never happen before when sir's fall into Spring of Drowned Girl, very tragic legend of a young girl who drown in spring one-thousand-five-hundred year ago!" the guide droned on waiting for the young sir to resurface as a busty young woman until the panda held up a sign from subspace -WHERE IS MY SON!- "I sorry sir! Sir's son should have surfaced long time ago!" By this time Genma was sweating rivers with only one thought in his head How am I going to explain this to Nadoka?
---------
"Pop?" Ranma said groggily trying to move but finding himself restrained on a table. Feeling the cold pinch of metal on his back told him that his shirt was off and there was a sharp pain in his chest was, to him, unmistakably a scalpel. His time at the hospital after the neko-ken incident was very vivid in his memory and the cold cutting edge struck fear into him as it slowly moved across his torso, splitting the flesh in a splash of red. He couldn't understand why he wasn't yelling out in pain but accepted that he felt little at all from the experience and his eyes soon were able to focus on the multi-colored lights that dotted one wall distracting him for a minute. These movements and the word he spoke must have alerted someone because a bright overhead lamp flashed into existence blinding him as he felt the unmistakable pinch of a needle in his neck and succumbed to the wonton confines of unconsciousness.
---------
Dr. Gero watched the boy stir but had to complete the incision before he could resedate him, thinking quickly he flicked on the overhead lamp to disorient the child and, upon finishing the cut, pulled out a syringe and injected the sedative into Ranma. Hmmmmm.... I must have underestimated this boy's recuperative abilities, the dose I gave him before should have lasted well over 2 more hours, this just means I'll have to be more careful he smiled as he saw Ranma's eyes roll back into his head and breathing calm. Looking over at his perfection, the red cybernetic implants that were being housed in a cryotank My Perfection, even those failure androids and Cell couldn't reach this level! without adieu Gero started dissecting Ranma's innards while implanting the cybernetic replacements for his key organs.
---------
Over the next week Ranma flashed into consciousness on regular intervals only to be subdued by Gero before he could get his bearings, One time he woke with sharp pains in his chest and arms, and looked around to see a flash of deep red before the needle pierced his flesh knocking him out in a matter of seconds depositing him into the blissful blackness of unconsciousness. An indeterminable time later he woke again to feel the pains had moved to his head, looking up he saw the oddest red hourglass on black background. It reminded him of a black widow if it weren't for the size and the odd white marks in the red. Trying to Focus more on the 'doctor' that was treating him and those odd white symbols his eyes suddenly stopped working and he sat there into total darkness before the usual pinch of the needle.
Awakening Ranma was blinded by the difference in climate from the damp dark room of the past indefinite amount of time, First thing he noticed other than the surroundings was the extra weight he could feel on his entire body... second was the odd helmet sitting on the table across from him. He started to stand when he suddenly felt very feint and had to lean against the wall for support, shaking his head to clear it he looked down at himself... and screamed. Trying to pull the odd armor off of him he got up and banged on the door.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME!!!" Ranma yelled at the cold steel when suddenly the air around him started glowing yellow as his aura sprang into existence. "LET ME OUT NOW!!!" Flaring his aura more he suddenly jumped into the air and gathering his energy into a ball he shot his hands upward releasing the massive shockwave. A chuckling rolled out of the damaged intercom beside the door.
"Amazing, I see that you have already activated the Giga Crush technique... too bad you used your charge up, but then again, that can be shall we say, rectified..." Ranma didn't particularly like the voice or its statement, he had never heard of the Giga Crush technique let alone learned it... but then how did he do it just then... more out of instinct but then how did he learn it in the first place? There were just too many questions that he didn't want answers to but there were a few he did.
"WHERES MY POP!?! AND WHAT IN THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE TO ME!?!" Ranma screamed at the door. Outside the room Dr. Gero smirked at the naive child. He'll do just fine once I've activated the mind control devices... his potential shall be of great use to me in my immortality Again he chuckled into the microphone in front of him.
"I've never seen your 'Pop' before so I wouldn't know where he is, as for what I've done to you... I've just made you the greatest fighter the world has ever seen, project Zero, and soon you shall kill Goku and his brat!" He didn't care about telling the boy his plans, the kids mind was going to be devoid of thought soon enough and he'll follow every order. Ranma on the other hand was trying to quickly think up something to do to get out of this, he wasn't a killer so how did this guy expect him to just blatantly kill this Goku guy? Not coming up with anything and his curiosity getting the better of him Ranma walked over and picked up the helmet and examine it. Gero watched this and waited for the boy to finish what he was doing.
"Why don't you try it on... it fits so well with your new body, y'never know you might like it" Gero said hoping to get Ranma to put the final touch on without him having to resort to the mind control... a willing participant was always better than someone who fought the process. Ranma wasn't known for his big leaps in brainpower but this was one of those odd moments of epiphany and decided to forgo the donning of the red metallic helmet.
"Nahh. It's probably pretty clunky and would weigh me down." Ranma lied... and he was a bad liar so Gero had to resort to plan B. Bringing out a small black remote he hit the first button and repeated his command. To Ranma's surprise, and dismay, he found that the man's voice had suddenly become irresistibly imposing and he found himself following the demand before he even knew he was moving. Trying to question it he found that he was not in control of his own body... like a spectator watching a helmet cam in the Daytona 500 and watched as the helmet spun in his hands and was brought to rest on his cranium.
When the dome was placed on his head it immediately went to work form fitting to the dark haired martial artist and activating the power enhancers. Ranma couldn't believe it, there was so much ki flowing into him he was afraid he was going to burst if the controllers hadn't chosen that time to kick in and he found the ki being channeled through his new makeshift "veins" and could almost feel himself radiate the power. If Pop could see me now, he'd kuso his pants! as his power continued to rise he could feel himself hit a block. Not knowing what to do, or what was happening for that matter, He unconsciously pushed the block out of the way and felt the in flood of ki as he passed into SSJ level 1. This is amazing, I never knew one person could hold so much Ki, even that Buu guy couldn't have had this much Ki! Dr. Gero was watching Ranma's progress with smiling satisfaction as the sensor's recorded Ranma's power level still claming.
"Yes this will do quite well for Goku's downfall... quite well indeed..."
Gero watched as Ranma pushed towards the next level in power.
---------
Gohan sat up in shock as he felt the spike in power, at first he thought it was his dad but there was something wrong with the aura... something he couldn't place his finger on... he was about to get up when he remembered Vegita might make an aura this large and this strange. Sighing he layer back down beside Videl and contemplated the significance of this for the few seconds before he fell asleep again. Elsewhere Goku was sitting up in his bed wondering about the odd power spike but had a different thought, the power seemed familiar to him although he couldn't place it... the oddest thing was that he was excited that he might have a new sparing partner. Little did he know how accurate half of that statement would be.
---------
Dr. Gero smiled as he watched Ranma go through a couple of kata's in his new SSJ state. Remarkable! Who would have thought that this puny human would have so much potential and discipline? Hoping the sayai-jin wouldn't notice the power spike or disregarded it as nothing he set about preparing for the training of Project Zero. The next day Gero opened the door to see Ranma there still doing katas at blinding speeds, knowing that his real name wouldn't do at this time, and that he never found out Ranma's name, he decided to give him a new one.
"Zero, time to get started... follow me" He left the door way and waited for his creation to follow him. Ranma, realizing Dr. Gero meant him, decided to go along for now, he could always escape later... if Genma had taught him anything it was how to run away. They exited through a small cave and Ranma noticed that they were in a valley and there was what looked like a large martial arts arena made up of square blocks of white stone... it reminded him of the tenkaichibudoukai a couple of years earlier where he had won the junior division... it was pretty easy and he heard that the next year two seven year olds won it with relative ease... he was pretty shocked considering he was hard pressed and he was 13. Shaking his head slightly to clear it he waited for Gero's order. "Ok then lets see your skills, and if those systems are working" Gero said jumping to one side of the ring he motioned for Ranma to follow. "Now then Zero attack me!"
Ranma didn't get the demand at first but soon started moving towards the being in front of him, leaping he went into a flying kick to test the old man. Gero smirked and disappeared, the second he did time slowed down to a crawl and he could see Gero as if he were casually walking to the place he appeared. Dr. Gero noticed Ranma follow his movements and made a note that the optical systems were working, now for the analysis routines. Forming his hands into a ball in front of him he made a ki blast and fired it at Ranma, again for Ranma time seemed to slow as words appeared in his vision portraying how the ki was manipulated to form the ball flying towards him and the best way to counter. Holding up his arm by reflex he saw his hand disappear and a ball of ki similar in appearance to Dr. Gero's fly from the hole, on contact with Gero's ball they cancelled each other out in a small explosion.
How did I do that? Ranma had only the few seconds thought before another blast was heading his way, this time though he opted to dodge and decided to go on the offensive. Balling his left fist he watched the hand disappear to be replaced by what appeared to be an gun barrel, not knowing what he was doing he started firing the ki blasts at Gero in rapid succession before holding the shot in for a sec and noticing the first light in a three part gauge light up he released the ball only this time the ball was quadruple the size.
Dodging the rapid blasts and the new larger ki ball he smiled to himself. Adaptability and improvisation, he's doing better than I thought! Gero dodged another large blast before continuing the fight.
---------
Vegita knew something was up, last night there was the large surge of power as if someone were transforming into Super Sayai-jin Level Three and now the same power level was spiking as if in a large scale battle. At first he assumed Kakorotto but now he noticed the energy had a darker turn to it, and he wanted to know who had this much power. If it is someone at super sayai-jin three then I want to know who scoffing the possibility that he might need Kakorotto or his brat Gohan he set out from Capsule corp. intent on finding the source of immense power. Half-way to the power he was dismayed to find just the two people he hated the most, Kakorotto and his brat. Powering up enough to close the gap he started flying beside the two.
"Hey Vegita, didn't think you were gonna make it" Goku said cheerfully to the sayai-jin prince.
"You truly think that the prince of all sayai-jin would miss this spike in power!" he sneered back as Gohan shook his head at the feuding sayai-jin... or he should have said the feuding Vegita, Goku didn't seem aware of the ongoing rivalry between the two. "If anything when you and your brat got there you would be too stupid to know what to do!" Vegita seemed angrier than ever at the thought that the two might have made it there first, but it was quickly forgotten as they started to hear the explosions as they neared the small island.
"I wonder who it is dad," Gohan piped up. "I don't think I've ever felt this ki signature before, could it possibly be another sayai-jin?" Vegita's brow furrowed at this new thought, there wasn't any other sayai-jin off planet at the time it was destroyed so where was this obviously super sayai-jin power coming from if the two most powerful, although he'd be the last to admit it, savaging beside him?
"Well Gohan I guess we'll find out soon enough we're almost there" Goku answered trying to pinpoint the source of the power. Heading towards a large canyon they first noticed the tournament style arena, second they noticed the large amount of ki projectiles being volleyed in the ring. Making out the fighters they saw a boy who looked in his middle teens wearing the oddest red armor, the second feature of the kid that the made note of was the long gold hair that seemed to radiate light. So this is the super sayai-jin? Doesn't look much Vegita was steamed that another younger sayai-jin had somehow become more powerful than him without him noticing till it was too late. Goku on the other hand had an entirely different view on the situation along the lines of Hey new sparring buddy! Gohan noticed these reactions and sweatdropped as facefaulting was impossible at 10 000 ft. Dr. Gero was almost as surprised to see the sayai-jin as they were to see him.
---------
"Dr. GERO???? But you're supposed to be dead?" Gohan stuttered being the only one of the three that could talk. As the android watched them approach.
"Foolish brat #17 killing him was probably just a setup!" Vegita snarled at the boy, feeling angrier at himself for not thinking of this outcome earlier, Gero had probably used the androids and Cell to gather information and the short human's wife was probably still sending him information on them... he might have to question her about that but that would have to be later, after Gero and his new android were destroyed.
"Quite right Vegita, although it was considered a last resort I see the ploy worked! But you three have shown up before expected, and so I'm afraid that I must accelerate my plans... ZERO DESTROY THEM NOW!" Gero yelled as the three were bearing down on their location, Ranma tried to glare at Gero but found that he was somehow being controlled again and raised his arm and aimed it at Goku all the while powering up the weapon. When the meter on his arm had reached the third gauge he balled his fist and let the blast fly.
Goku watched in wonder as the boy's hand disappeared to reveal a hole in his arm.. A few seconds later he was frantically dodging as a large ki ball whizzed by. Taking this new threat more seriously he went super sayai-jin level one and rushed in to engage the enemy. Lets just hope Vegita's arrogance doesn't get in the way Gohan thought as he charged in to help his father powering up to super sayai-jin on the way. Ranma knew that this was a fruitless fight but found himself getting ready for the oncoming attack against his will, feeling some weird sensation he waited for the fighters to get closer before reaching up and slamming his fist into the ground while releasing a large amount of ki. A few seconds after the attack the stone squares erupted from their positions flying high into the air towards the onrushing sayai-jin, all three tried to dodge the large projectiles but each ended up being hit in one way or another.
Vegita was the first to recover and started sending a rapid succession of ki balls towards Ranma's position, Ranma's analysis routines kicked in and soon he was firing counters from his arm gun as fast as Vegita could dish them out. When Vegita finally stopped after seeing the futility of the attack Ranma started firing larger shots at the sayai-jin prince. Hoping the distraction that Vegita was providing to help Gohan flew towards Ranma and engaged him in close combat, at first he seemed successful as his ki charges punches and kicks were connecting but he was soon dismayed as Ranma started blocking and dodging more and more of them as his cybernetic implants analyzed and predicted Gohan's pattern. Goku, in one of his few and far between bouts of intelligence, used his instant transmission technique to get behind Ranma. Ranma's sensors recorded this ki manipulation and as soon as Goku appeared behind him he put two fingers to his forehead and teleported out from between the two as Gohan's punch went right through where he was and connected with Goku's shoulder. Appearing beside Vegita he engaged the sayai-jin and was soon pressing the attack beyond anything Vegita had ever encountered, even with Kakorotto. Vegita was soon but out of commission with a well timed double-fist hammer attack, and Vegita plowed into the ground under him.
"What kind of monster is this?" Gohan exclaimed as he watched Vegita plummet from the sky. Dr. Gero was quietly watching the fight from the sidelines and carefully holding the mind control button on his remote, he definitely didn't want Zero taking control of himself in the middle of the fight. Goku was groaning and holding his shoulder from the impact Gohan had made.
"Gohan that really hurt!" Goku yelled as they watched the two.
"Sorry dad, it was an accident"
"Its okay son, but we need to find a way of fighting him" Goku motioned to the Red fighter Gero had called 'Zero'. Cupping his hands at his side he watched Ranma for a sec before launching his attack. "Ka...Me...Ha...Me...Ha!!!" extending his hands he shot the ki wave at Ranma who just casually copied the motions of Goku.
"Ka...Me...Ha...Me...Ha!" Ranma's hands shot foreword releasing another blue-white beam at Goku's and they collided in midair forcing a reversed tug of war between the two powers. To Gohan's horror he noticed that the beam was slowly moving towards his father he watched his father yell and the tide turn, but it was short lived as Ranma increased his power output into the wave again turning the power towards the sayai-jin. Goku realizing that he was going to need to step it up a notch, exploded into super sayai-jin level two and the power output almost quadrupled on his end. But much to his confusion Ranma just smirked and let go of the beam he was maintaining and let Goku's power hit him and be mostly absorbed by the Giga Crush Technique, holding his hands out he made a small ball and threw his hands up as the ball exploded blinding everyone but Ranma and destroying much of the surroundings. And to Gero's unknowing hands his finger had slipped off the mind control button, Ranma felt the hold on his body fall and decided it was high time to stop the evil doctor holding his arm out towards Goku he charged up till it was at his max shot capacity but he didn't stop there. Holding out his other hand he charged that one up to capacity and held it ready aiming it at Gohan this time, in his ignorance Gero called down the destruction of his hated foes.
"Go Zero Destroy them!" Ranma saw this as his ultimate opportunity, swinging his arms to bear on Gero he released both shots at once and was surprised when they combined into one larger ball that shot towards the surprised android. "NOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Gero yelled as he was enveloped by the ki and subsequently blown up Ranma, feeling really odd now, fell from the sky unconscious and landed in a heap by where the two conscious sayai-jin were standing.
---------
Awakening from sleep the young boy of sixteen sat up with a start and promptly fell back onto the bed as his head swam from over exertion, not that it wasn't a jumble already. Looking around the room he couldn't recognize anything more than the odd shelving on the wall and the small desk in the corner.
"Where am I?... who am I?... I.. I can't remember" looking around he noticed a red metallic helmet and groaned as memories flashed through his head of him looking at the same helmet than putting it on... a few minutes later he awoke from the odd slumber to see the helmet again and stood up. Feeling the odd heaviness that he was unused to he looked down and saw a flash of something, in the memory flash he saw himself although it was blurred as if looking in a polished metal. Shaking his head he moved over and picked up the helmet, turning it around in his hands he decided against donning the heavy piece of armor feeling that his head felt heavy enough that he didn't need to add the extra twenty pounds.
Moving towards the door he noticed a small sign that had 'Gohan' printed on it, the name felt familiar and he tried placing it. "Am I Gohan?... I wish I could remember" Moving through the door he walked down the empty corridor before reaching a set of curving stairs, slowly walking down them he looked at the new surroundings on what appeared to be the ground floor. "Where am I?... is this my home?" Halfway through the living room he found the tell-tale signs of someone cooking in the kitchen, following the enticing aroma he walked towards the opening in the wall that led to the other room. Moving through the opening he saw a woman with black hair working laboriously over a stove, know knowing what to do he decided to ask the most pressing question on his mind. "Excuse me... um... when will that be done?" (Like he's gonna ask anything other than a way to feed his stomach)
At the voice she turned to the boy, normally the thought of someone Chichi didn't know in the house would have sent her into a fit she remembered Goku and Gohan had brought the unconscious boy in, it was odd how he was still super sayai-jin until his helmet was removed... even Goku powered down when knocked unconscious. The first thing that ran through her mind was the story Goku and Gohan had told her of Dr. Gero and how the boy had taken Vegita out with seemingly no problem and was able to copy their best moves... second thing to run through her head was the realization that he was awake and in front of her. Other people would have cringed or ran away when faced with someone who had the power she had been told that he had... but not Chichi Son, which was probably why she started screaming and pulled a frying pan from out of thin air and tried to whack him on the head with it. Not knowing what was going on further than he was being attacked he quickly put up his arms in a defensive pattern and deflected the cooking utensil, looking at the dent the boy's arm had made in her cast iron pan she finally got mad and started continuously trying to whack the boy. Him on the other hand just kept reflexively blocking and making more and more dents in the frying pan till it looked like a crumpled ball on a handle, by this time Chichi was staring wide eyed at what he had done to her frying pan and tossed the useless metal aside and got into a fighting stance.
"why are you hitting me?" was all he could get out before she started going into a series of kicks and punches which his analysis routines easily caught onto and he was able to block or dodge every one, which consequently only served to make her angrier. What was worse, in her mind at least, was that he was only using one arm, the other devoted to holding the helmet. He just couldn't understand it, he had just walked into the room and asked a simple question when she started attacking him. "Did I do something wrong?" This was the one thing she wasn't expecting and paused in the confusion.
"You mean you don't know? Who are you and what are you doing in my house?" She yelled picking up the attack with new fervor causing him to start his rapid blocking again.
"You don't know who I am?" he slumped to the ground still blocking and dodging all of her attacks with his freehand while looking solely dejected. The statement again confused her into stopping. What happened to the killing machine Goku had talked about?
"What? You don't even know who you are?" in that moment she didn't see the armored person who had effortlessly blocked her best attacks as if they were wisps of air. But instead she saw the small frightened boy and her maternal instincts kicked in. "Can you remember anything?" Although she was feeling sorry for the thing in front of her she still held her defenses up incase it decided to change its plan and attack.
"No, I remember walking up and seeing the word Gohan on the door but everything else draws a blank... sorry about this," Standing he walked towards the door.
"Where are you going?" she didn't want something that potentially destructive just wandering around but didn't know how she'd stop him if he decided to anyway. "Your not leaving are you?" This time she was thinking of what Goku and Gohan might do if the thing was missing when they returned.
"Sorry for bothering you," opening the door he started running into the forest seeming as if to float over the ground being propelled by nothing... not that that would be all to strange to her knowing her family.
---------
In China, About 200 ft away a giant panda was busy running from a group of women harboring various weapons from blades to bludgeons all seeming to try and get the panda for, to him at least, no reason.... the large roasted pig under his arm didn't count in his mind...
---------
He stopped moving as a sneeze threatened to off balance his mode of transport, Where did that come from? Feeling that it was an isolated incident he returned to his movement. A few minutes hence he stopped again but this time by a large lake that seemed to spring from the mountain, kneeling down he looked at his reflection in the calm water. But to his dismay the face staring back at him was as unrecognizable as his surroundings, running his hand through the reflection to dispel the image he cupped one hand and gathered some of the water. The cold liquid felt good sliding down his throat but did little to comfort him other than to relieve the little bit of thirst, he was also angry at himself for his lack of memory but knew he had no control over it.
Sitting against a nearby tree he pondered his situation while spinning the helmet over in his hands hoping to find something in his mind that he could grasp onto and remember but anything that seemed close ran like quicksilver through his mind's hand. Getting frustrated at his lack of progress he almost threw the helmet into the wilderness but stopped when his hand wouldn't listen and let go of the object, when he ceased his murderous attempt of the helmet his hand opened of its own accord which only continued to baffle the martial artist. Realizing that he couldn't throw away or leave the helmet, not that he truly wanted to since it did seem to go well with his attire, he thought that he had might as well put it on.
Well here goes nothing... His thoughts rang in his head as he flicked the black ponytail behind his back and slipped the metal dome over his skull. At first nothing happened but a tingling sensation as it sucked air in to form the innards to his head then he felt the jolt, it felt like his head had just been struck with a lightning bolt of ki as he felt his power and awareness rising beyond what he had thought possible. The second change he noticed was that his ponytail had grown down to his feet (ever notice how zero's hair stays in the perfect shape instead of splaying all over the place) and turned a golden color almost glowing with the energy he felt coursing through his body. Then, at the same speed it occurred, the process stopped leaving a very confused and very disoriented young man, then as if on its own accord images flashed quickly through his mind as if his memories were returning but again he was let down as they were fleeting and uninformative. He still felt that his Chances of remembering were better but resigned that they weren't showing up anytime soon and set off to recover his memory in any way possible.
---------
The short strip of yellow was an odd contrast to the green foliage of the forest the boy was in making him stand out like a sore thumb, and the purple shirt didn't help all that much either but the boy didn't seem to care.
RANMA THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!!! When I find you I'll make you pay for running out on your man to man... his ranting was cut short by the odd appearance of a panda knocking him over the cliff into an odd pond filled valley...
---------
Walking towards the large grouping of buildings he started seeing more and more humans, although them seeing him could have been a better description. His audio receivers picked up bits of the conversations that sprang up from the people around him.
"...What's that?..." came from one person to his right.
"I don't know and frankly I don't want to find out" was his partner's reply.
"Funky suit... where would you get something like that?"
"Looks like a robot or machine..."
"But what about the head and face?"
"Maybe its one of Dr. Briefs' creations?" that piqued his interest and so he walked over to the person who had uttered the comment. The woman noticed the movement and cowered behind her boyfriend from the thing that was getting progressively closer. The boyfriend was starting to sweat, it wasn't often that something that looked almost like a Cell clone walked up to you. About to speak to the man in the manor the father who he didn't remember had taught him when something clicked in his head and his mouth started talking of its own accord.
"Where is Doctor Briefs?" his body inquired while his mind was more like,
What's going on here? the oddest part was that something answered him.
-Tactical Analysis Sub-Routine R2C554 installed in unit ZERO active-
Wha...? he would have continued but the couple finally got over his appearance enough to answer his non-threatening question.
"Uhhhh.... He's at Capsule Corp... Uhhhh.... That way?" he pointed into the heart of the city before them. Looking that way he nodded and stared walking that way after a brief 'thank you' and the couple sighed heavily in relief.
Okay now tactical whatchamacallit 9700 sub-whatever what the hell are you doing in my head?
-Error, Tactical Analysis Sub-Routine is installed in upper chest plate section
H25R-
Your in my chest?
-Correct-
Why?
-Tactical sub-routine is to provide information and probability options to preserve unit ZERO-
What is this 'unit ZERO' you keep talking about?
-Unit ZERO is the active carrier for Tactical sub-routine-
active carrier... ME!
-Correct-
I am... ZERO?
-Correct-
Do I have a last name?
-Danger, conversation cease-
Zero looked around to figure out why the thing had said there was danger only to find a large Ki ball moving towards him. Time seemed to slow for the boy turned machine as probabilities and options flashed incomprehensively past his vision until coming to an ultimate conclusion and printed the choice onto Zero's vision.
[Deflect at vector 832.654] with the message came an animated demonstration and highlighting of the point of contact with a countdown timer. As if on instinct he quickly reached out and swung at the flashing point in his vision, his hand flashed with energy and the ball moving towards him was deflected far into the air away from him and the innocent bystanders watching in horror. Looking past where the ball was he looked upon his attacker the spikes golden hair was accented by he bandages he was furiously trying to remove, the damage to his body could easily be seen by both Zero's eyes and sensors. Trying to ignore the injured and Ki drained man Zero tried to walk past hoping that the show of power would have been enough to discourage him, the tactical unit pointing out that the man was at less than half of his fighting potential and less than that compared to his level right now. The man, on the other hand, attacked as if insulted that Zero has decided not to attack. Almost on instinct Zero's hand shot out hitting the man with little force but causing him to fly into a wall across the street.
-Too much force Zero-
Sorry what was I supposed to do? He wasn't gonna listen to reason
-Use a little less force, force used almost deemed lethal-
I said I was sorry!
Moving on he missed the Ambulance with the Capsule Corp. logo on the side pull up and retrieve the man, who now had black hair. Moving along the street he stopped often to survey his surroundings, not noticing the virtual map being created to help guide him. Soon he was in front of an oddly dome shaped house with the words Capsule Corp of the side, he was finally there. It didn't take him long to have knocked on the door, and been greeted by a smiling blonde woman.
