Hey y`alls, I said I'd do an 'Origin of Alex' and now I am... okay, maybe
I won't be writing most of it, instead you'll be getting it from the one
who lived it. Which means that Alex will be narrating it from here, but I
will be popping in every once in a while to tell you some things she don't
know.
Alex: Yep, I'm writing this. Well, actually, I guess I'm telling him what to write 'cause I don't think I can stand it. Hehe ^.^
Alex Ultra: Well, that's disappointing, oh well, it looks like I'm stuck writing this after all...
Alex: You're not writing it, you're just telling them what I said!
Alex Ultra: And writing it...
Alex: Right!
Alex Ultra: [Sigh] *_*
Alex: Now, what am I telling you?
Alex Ultra: *_*
Alex: Why don't you just tell it and I'll do the acting part?
Alex Ultra: Uhhhhhh, yeah...
Alex: Great! When does it start?
Alex Ultra: Before you first... uh, changed...
Alex: O.o... ... oh, well then, we'll probably need a temp...
Alex Ultra: Well, at least I can write it like it was from Alex's POV. Oh, and just so you don't get the wrong idea, believe it or not, Alex starts this story as an 18 year old boy. That's right, boy. Don't bash it until you know the story though, there is a reason for her, uh, change. And no, it was not of her choice either so don't get that idea.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own dbz or it's world, but I do own the characters mentioned in this chapter, Kinkilla and Alex (by whatever name, all the same)
~~~~~~*** BEFORE ***~~~~~~
What was the year? I can't remember.
What was the place? I never did memorize my address.
What was my name? It's Alex now, but I can't remember what I used to be called. Although back then I had a first and a last name. Now it's just a first name.
But I can tell you this, although I can't remember these things, I can remember what happened on that day, all those years ago...
~~~~~~
I suppose it started because I liked DragonBall Z so much. I tried to fashion my life around it, though that's going a bit far. But I wasn't very strong, I had my natural strength and that was it. But that was okay for me; I didn't want to focus on physical strength, which was perhaps why I was forced to change my name, because I rather focused on my ki or spiritual energy-slash-power. It was my obsession to finally realize the powers I knew I was capable of. And that is the note on which my story begins...
~~~~~~
One day I was just sitting in bed around 8:00 PM, not that I was tired I just liked my solitude. And like many days when I found a spare moment, I began focusing my ki. I would bring my hands together and lightly touch my fingertips together. Usually I avoided stressing any muscles, save my forehead or part of my arm that just wouldn't calm down.
Recently the intensity of the power I had been feeling/gathering had been rising, not sharply, but noticeably at least.
It kind of started in my stomach and spreaded, for me it seemed to be better pronounced in the less sensitive areas like the arms and legs, go figure, I'm sure there's a reason for it, but at the time I really couldn't care less.
But anyway, where was I? Oh, yeah! I was focusing. (I don't like to call it meditating 'cause it makes me sound like a monk or something, and I've never had any training of any sort. I just kind of taught myself.)
After I had gathered a good sum I began (I use the term loosely 'cause at the time I had little real control) to pull it into my hands in yet another attempt at creating a visible ki ball. The entire time I could feel my ki going there, I could feel the pressure and heat often associated with it. Sometimes it felt like my hands might just blow or even just ignite into flames!
After a short while I looked between my hands and saw nothing. My hands felt as if they were on fire (again) and my head was ready to burst! But still, I could not get all that energy to leave my skin and go where I wanted.
In frustration, I put my hands to my sides and sighed, staring at the ceiling.
I felt, no, I knew that I was close! I could feel it just below my skin and could feel it trying to get out, like when you drop your hands off the bed and all the blood rushes to them... except this was over my head.
Sometimes, when I was really bored I would practice trying to develop and attack (like Goku's Kamehameha wave, you know, he could do that long before he could do ki-blasts), and although I never actually did it, I still knew I could.
...
...
Uh... Where was I?
SMACK!!!
*_* Oh, yeah!!!
Well, anyway, there I was staring at the ceiling, (I got off subject, didn't I? I do that a lot, I don't know why... SMACK!!! OW! Oh! Sorry...) brooding on why I couldn't make ki-balls. It was like being just out of reach and knowing that if you just had a stool (so to speak) you could reach it.
"RRRRRRRaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!" Frustrated, I just couldn't hold it in anymore. I was mad, no at anyone or anything in particular, I just didn't know what else to do. It hurt me that I was that close, but it always seemed so... impossible.
So, rather than beating myself up about it, I did something about it. Not that I expected anything from it, but for some reason it made me feel better, I went outside, looked for the first star of the night, and made a wish.
Mostly out of fear of looking silly, but also because I felt no need to yell, I spoke to the stars in a fairly conversational tone. First I said the "Star light, star bright" rhyme I had used so many times, then I made my wish.
"You know, all I really want at this point, is for someone to show me how. Y'know, how to use ki. I want to be able to use energy, but I want no more help than for someone to show me how. I want to do the hard part on my own, or else I won't appreciate it." Big breath. "So, I guess my wish is this: I wish someone from the DragonBall Z universe would come here. I don't really care too much who it is, just the one who is most likely to help me to unlock my power. The one who will push me past my limit to unlock all my power. I just want it brought out. So, if there's any way you can help, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks."
I was still looking at the sky, just getting ready to go to bed (this stuff makes me tired). But just before I had made up my mind to go, I saw a shooting star, and I laughed to myself. A couple minutes later and I could have made my wish to both the first star, and a shooting star, together. 'Oh, well. Nothing I can do now.' And I went to my room, again. Of course, having made wishes to the stars many times before, I went to bed, with no real hope of having my wish being granted.
~~~~~~
Pan to an empty plain-land bordered by mountains on one side and farmland on the other.
~~~~~~
The ground seems to shake and space seemed to distort for no particular reason. No one is around to notice it and the Z fighters are all asleep. While it is day here, it is midnight where they are. So overall, no one even knows anything is happening.
The distortion seems to get worse and worse until it becomes a practical black hole, no bigger than a man. The only difference is that this doesn't seem to be sucking on anything; rather, a face soon pokes out of what serves as a border for an undefined hole.
Soon, an entire body emerges from the hole and Kinkilla dispersed the hole.
Kinkilla looked at his surroundings and smiles to himself, laughing slightly with a voice that any dbz fan would mistake for Frieza, he said, "Finally, yet again, I get to kill those stupid monkeys." Then he laughs yet again, spending so much time laughing that he doesn't even notice that something is wrong.
He smiles yet again, showing his blood-red teeth, and before he even knows what happened, he is taken directly out of the area where he was. That's right, it sounds like he's the guy.
~~~~~~
I was just about to go to bed when I heard some kind of crash from just outside my room. (I lived in a basement so you can imagine what might have been knocked over ^.^) So, out of conscience, I went to check on it. 'Probably just the cats again...' Of course, I was definitely not prepared for what happened next. I would have never thought that my life would take the direction it was about to take.
And, needless to say, I was soon regretting that wish I made.
~~~~~~*** END OF CHAPTER 1 ***~~~~~~
Alex: Was that okay? I sure hope I didn't screw it up...
Alex Ultra: You did fine, for not lifting a finger to help...
Alex: Oh! I'm so glad! I was afraid that I might screw up. You know, like I didn't make you put in enough drama or something.
Alex Ultra: Yeah............
Well, anyways, how was it? Don't worry, all things will become clear eventually so don't worry. Also, don't forget to TELL ME what you think of this story at some point. I won't mind too much for this chapter because it was kind of short, but I would at least like to have two reviews by the end of the next chapter.
Alex: Yep, I'm writing this. Well, actually, I guess I'm telling him what to write 'cause I don't think I can stand it. Hehe ^.^
