Rise of the Superhumans
"My name is Colin, and this is my home."
Vegeta sat up to get a better look at Colin. He was of average height, with short black hair and a slim build. All around average in his features.
"Hmph, well Colin, I have a few questions for you.", replied the Saiyan.
"Oh? What are they?"
"What is your race called?", questioned Vegeta.
"Humans."
"Why am I not in a treatment facility?"
"A what?" asked Colin, not understanding. "Oh, you mean a hospital! Well, the nearest one is miles away, and you'd probably have bled out by then" Colin replied, oddly cheerful.
"Alright. Last one. Are you a low-class?"
"A what?" 'Low class? What the hell is a low class?' wondered Colin.
"A peasant. Servant. Slave. Whatever you want to call it. You don't seem to have parents, and on Vegeta low-class weaklings are sent away from their parents." answered Vegeta.
"No, I never knew my parents. I don't think it's because I'm weak. Also, what the hell? You send away your children because there not that strong? That's pretty messed up."
"Fool, you're planet maybe filled with soft weaklings, but the Saiyans take pride in our unparalleled strength." Vegeta answered.
"Oh, so you must've gotten beaten up by a bunch of Saiyans right?"
"…"
Colin and Vegeta didn't converse much for a while after that. Vegeta, his Saiyan pride not allowing him to admit that a bunch of soldiers weaker than him almost killed him, sent Colin out the doorway with a Kiai. A few weeks passed rather uneventfully afterwards, and soon enough Vegeta was healed up, feeling stronger than ever before thanks to his zenkai.
"Hey, I never asked, seeing as you blasted me out of your room by punching the air toward me, but what's your name?" Colin questioned, anxious to know what to call his guest.
"Why should I tell you?" Compared to me, you're an ant." Vegeta replied, believing that the human was not worthy to know his name.
"Well, I'm still an ant that saved your life." Colin replied.
"Smartass. Do I need to blast you through a wall?" threatened Vegeta.
"I'd prefer if you didn't, thanks."
'Well, I guess he has a spine after all. If he weren't pathetically weak, he might make a decent Saiyan.' "Fine, I suppose I'll tell you. My name is Vegeta, the Prince of all Saiyans."
"Oh you're a prince? Wow, you must be beloved on your planet."
"I wouldn't use that word, but I am well respected on planet Vegeta, as is the rest of my fami-"
"So wait," Colin interrupted. "You and that planet are Vegeta?"
"It was named after my father." Vegeta said curtly, annoyed that he was interrupted.
"Oh. That makes sense." Colin replied blankly.
…
"You know, on my planet you probably would have been blasted to bits for talking to me like that."
"You keep sa`ying that you'll "blast me to bits" or "blast me into oblivion". How? I don't see a gun on you."
"Fool, Saiyans don't rely on technology. We rely on our natural Ki abilities. Observe." Vegeta told Colin, levitating into the air and quickly blasting away.
"Huh, I wonder where he's going?" Colin wondered aloud.
"I'm right here." Vegeta said, reappearing besides Colin and making him fall down in shock.
"Holy shit!" Colin exclaimed. "How'd you do that?!"
"In addition to flying, we Saiyans can also move incredibly fast, and are incredibly strong. We can also turn our Ki into energy attacks. Like this." Vegeta charged up a ball of Ki and then threw it into the forest around Colin's house, disintegrating the tree's surrounding the blast zone.
Colin's mouth hung open, amazed at what he just saw. "You need to teach me that!"
"Why should I? You may have healed me, but that doesn't mean I should teach you. Besides, I'd still be far stronger" Vegeta arrogantly claimed.
"Well, can you at least give me some of your energy?"
The thought hadn't occurred to Vegeta. 'Could he even handle a small amount of my energy? I might vaporize him on accident. Although I suppose that if it works I could have someone to at least train with.' Alright, I'll try and give you some of my Ki. I'll warn you now, I might kill you."
"Meh, I'm sure it'll be fine. Now give me some Ki, already!" Colin exclaimed, eager to be able to do what Vegeta showed him.
"Alright, brace yourself." Vegeta said, forming a ball of energy in his hand. 'I hope his body doesn't explode too violently.' With that comforting thought, Vegeta gently tossed the ball to Colin.
What happened next was something neither of them expected.
The energy entered Colin's body, and suddenly a bright, bluish-white light surrounded him. Screams echoed throughout the forest, as Colin felt as if his very soul was being ripped out. He had never been in so much agony! At the same time though, he felt himself getting much, much stronger. He felt like his blood had turned to energy, giving him incredible strength! Finally, after what felt like hours but in reality had only been a few minutes, the light dimmed and Colin fell to the ground.
'What the hell just happened!?' Vegeta screamed in his mind, unable to form any coherent sentence. He had seen other Saiyans share energy on the battlefield, and none of them exploded into a blinding flash of light. Suddenly, an idea came to Vegeta. 'His power level, what if it's increased?!'
Quickly, he ran into the house and grabbed it. He turned it on and measured Colin's power level. Vegeta gasped, unable to believe what he just saw on his Scouter. "T-te-ten thousand…" Vegeta uttered, unable to fully comprehend what just happened. Colin was a weakling when he first arrived, having checked his power level once. It had been 5. 5! And now, here he was, stronger than most Saiyans he knew!
Suddenly, Colin dashed up off the ground. "WOOH HOO! I FEEL INCREDIBLE! I mean, that hurt like hell and I hope that never happens again BUT STILL, THIS IS AWESOME"! he yelled, filled with an almost childlike glee over his new strength. Testing his newfound power, he jumped as high as he could into the air, punching through the clouds.
"This is great, I feel like I could to anything! I bet I could go fight Vegeta and- hey wait, I can't fly." Looking down, he suddenly felt very, very nauseous. He had just been given incredible strength, and now he was gonna die plummeting into the ground! "Ooooohhh shit ohshitohshitoshit-"he yelled as he fell back down to the Earth.
Back on the ground, Vegeta felt dumbstruck. Colin might be stronger than him. He knew his strength greatly increased from the zenkai, but was it enough to make up for- whatever just happened? Suddenly, his thoughts were interrupted by Colin, who was plummeting back towards the ground.
"UUUUUUUUUUCK" heard Vegeta, followed by a loud BOOM as Colin hit the ground a few hundred feet away. Colin slowly walked out of the forest, sore from the fall.
"Well, I lived. Great." Said Colin, oddly calm for someone who just fell from the Stratosphere. I feel really sore though, can I have a sec to relax my-everything?"
'He just fell from the sky had full speed, and he feels "really sore"? What the hell happened?" Vegeta wondered.
"Hey, wait. You have that thing that reads power on your head now. What's mine?
"It's, uh, ten thousand." Vegeta replied blankly.
"Is that a lot?" Colin asked, not familiar with the scale of his power compared to a Saiyan.
Vegeta simply nodded. "Alright! Hey, what's yours?"
"I-I'm not sure. Here, measure it for me." He said, throwing the Scouter over to Colin.
"Ok so I just put it on my face like this aaaand-ok, got it. Now I press this button and-"suddenly symbols started flashing on the screen before finally settling on one. "Uh, I don't understand this. You read it." Colin said, tossing it over to Vegeta.
"My power level is" Vegeta's mouth dropped, and his eyes widened. "Ni-nine thousand and one hundred." He said aloud, before quickly covering his mouth, hoping Colin hadn't heard him.
He had. "YES! I'm STRONGER THAN YOU, HAHA!" he exclaimed, even happier than before.
"Sh-shut up!" yelled the prince, feeling humiliated. "You may be a bit stronger, but you don't know how to fly or use an energy attack!"
"Well than, let's test who would wind." Colin proposed.
"You little-fine, prepare to be obliterated!" Vegeta yelled.
"Alright, here I come!" Colin exclaimed, rocketing toward Vegeta, his newly-formed white aura blazing around him.
'He's gotten so fast' Vegeta thought, quickly raising a block against Colin's punch.
THOOM! His punch slammed against Vegeta's arm. 'And he hit's like a raging animal!' Colin, taking advantage of Vegeta's amazement, kneed him in the gut and punched him away. Soon he was upon Vegeta, not allowing the prince to raise a defense. He kicked him upward, sending the Saiyan into the sky. Suddenly, Vegeta halted and smirked as he remembered one of his advantages.
Colin couldn't fly.
"Hey, no fair!" Colin yelled. "I can't fly yet! At least tell me how!"
"There is no 'fair' in battle! However, it'd be boring if you just sat down there, so I'll try to tell you. Push your energy out below you."
"That's it?" Colin questioned. "That's all I need to do?"
"It's harder than it sounds." Vegeta said.
Colin began concentrating, and soon enough, he was slowly levitating through the air. He began flying around faster and doing aerobatics in the air. "This is AMAZING. I feel INCREDIBLE!" he exclaimed. Suddenly, and without warning, he flew toward Vegeta, sending him flying with a swift kick. Vegeta, not to be outdone, flew back toward Colin, and the two began brawling in the sky. Colin, with his superior strength and speed, blocked a fair bit of Vegeta's attacks. However, Vegeta was much more skilled at fighting, and Colin soon found himself on the defensive, desperately trying to think of something that would give him an advantage.
Suddenly, Vegeta disappeared from his field of view. "Wha-where'd you go!" Colin exclaimed. "Don't tell me you gave up"! "Fool, I can be all around you!" Vegeta exclaimed his purple aura blazing as he appeared above Colin, smashing him down to the ground with a powerful Axe Handle.
Colin smashed into the planet, tired and bruised but no finished yet. With a loud roar, he flew back toward Vegeta, determined to win the fight. However, without any sort of technique his punches were sloppy and obvious, and after recovering from the initial shock Vegeta had no trouble dodging and blocking his punches.
Colin swung a blow towards Vegeta, only for him to duck and dash around him. Putting both his hands on Colin's back, he charged up twin Ki blasts and sent Colin rocketing towards the Earth, the Ki blasts exploding with a loud BANG! In the middle of a newly formed crater lay Colin, unable to move a muscle. Wordlessly, Vegeta flew down to Colin.
"I guess-I'm still-superior." Vegeta bragged in between ragged breaths. Colin simply looked at him and smiled. "Can we-can we fight again later? Colin asked. "After I learn how to shoot energy blasts?"
"You'll need more than that to beat me" Vegeta said cockily. "But this was the best training match I've ever fought, and if you learn proper fighting techniques"- he paused, trying to think of the right words. "I'm sure you'll make a powerful warrior.
"Thanks, Vegeta. Now can you do me a favor?"
"…What?"
"Pick me up and take me home. I think I'm stuck." Colin said, his smile never leaving his face. Vegeta, floated down, picked him up my his heel, and dragged him back to the house.
"You're a dick." Colin said, his voice muffled by the ground.
"And you're eating dirt." Vegeta replied. "Now shut up."
Hooray, chapter 3! This took me a while to write this, and it's the dead of night for me, so apologizes if it, you know, sucks. I feel like I should explain that whole energy thing though with Colin, so here goes:
While Vegeta might be skilled at handling energy, he's not used to giving it to people to use. He's better at the "I'm going to wipe you from the face of the universe" kind of energy giving. So when he gave it to Colin, the energy he gave and Colin's life force reacted in a way that made him much stronger and able to handle it better. Also, the Ki from Vegeta mixed with his in a way that permanently altered his own Ki, allowing for things that will be revealed later. Although it probably isn't that hard to guess what those things are, in my opinion. Also, I know Vegeta was kinda out of character, but after witnessing what he had, I figured he might be a little less ridiculously full of himself. One last thing, thanks to Gohanmisticssj for being my first follower. You rock!
Colin: Suck up.
Piss off. You're not real.
Colin: And you're arguing with a fake person.
Go train or something. Anyway, thanks for following me, mate, and thanks to all the people who have just looked at it. For a first fanfic, I feel like 130 views is pretty good. Anyway, I'm done ranting. Next time: Colin tries to find someone to train him. Who will he find? Why yes, it is Roshi. Thanks for reading, see ya next time!
