Chapter 3 Realization

Upon Boronks' release from his cryogenic stasis and his destruction on planet Vegeta, he was driven away by the same race that created him. However, it was unknown how he was driven away and it took over 100,000 saiyans to defeat this monster. Boronks' power was still new to him and unstable. It was his own instability to control his power that drove him away and once he was driven away from planet Vegeta, he devoted himself in trying to control his power, increase it and soon return to take his revenge upon the ones that created him as a 'servant'. Boronks was an insane individual, much like Brolly, but Boronks' aggression was far more that of Brolly. His destructive rage was what made him a truly terrifying being.

It is unknown to what extent Boronks caused havoc in the universe before meeting his temporary match. In his destructive anger and blinding aggression, he would destroy the populations of entire planets for his own pleasure. Upon landing on a far away isolated cold world, Boronks found himself alone on this world and of no use to him. But he was trapped; even if being a extraordinary powerful being, Boronks was still biological which meant that even he had a limited tolerance to cold and hot. The planet was extremely icy and very cold and it had taken its toll on the mighty saiyan, eventually freezing him on the dark and far away world.

As time passed, Boronks lay frozen on this world cold and isolated world. Eventually, a race of aliens looking to expand and colonize other worlds came upon this world. Seeing the environment was not suited, they began using their technology to try and warm the planet up for habitable purposes. In the process, they had melted the ice and the cold environment heated up; they had freed Boronks. Aggressive as ever and his rampaging ways still high; Boronks began destroying worlds and wreaking havoc on much of the universe. His ability to breathe in space, move at will through planets and his destructive power made him an unstoppable and unprecedented force.

"That's cheating man!" Yoshiro protested as he dropped his controller and crossed his arms, upset at Takeshi. "It's completely legal! You just have to know which buttons to press to get the combo!" Takeshi explained as he denied the accusations. "Oh grow up! Both of you! You're how old? And you're playing video games?" Misaki sighed as she shook her head, sipping her cup of coffee. "She's right you know… and just be grateful I'm Capsule Corp owner and I let you guys use the big screen for games." Katsumi explained as she worked through a few papers with Sora.

In the floor below, Koji and Hikaru were training in the chamber, having set the hologram to maximum speed. "C'mon Koji! Can't we lower the setting a bit?" Hikaru began, stopping to take a short breather in the chamber, "I can't keep up with that thing or even you at that!" He said as his words were met with silence from Koji who continued to move about the large room at high speeds, combating with the hologram with every move. Keeping up with the hologram, Koji saw a chance to deal a lethal blow. Smirking as he floated in mid air just above the hologram with his fist drawn back, Koji let loose a powerful punch only to look ahead and see his hand striking a wall. Quickly looking around, he noticed he was now in the upper floor with everyone else as they looked surprised at Koji and Hikaru who had just appeared.

"What the hell! Katsumi, are you experimenting again?!" Obviously not pleased, koji yelled out in irritation at his sudden teleportation to the other room and having missed his chance to achieve victory against a machine. "Uhh… no. How did you two get here?" Katsumi replied, blinking as the others were wondering the same deal on how they suddenly appeared. Suddenly, Enzo appeared, landing directly on top of Koji who growled immediately in anger, throwing Enzo off. "Get off me! What's the big idea?" Are you behind this Enzo?! I bet you are!" Koji yelled out, concluding facts as Enzo shook his head quickly, denying his involvement in these sudden events. "I was buying a new car and then I suddenly appeared here!" He began, pouting and crossing his arms in disappointment, "Great… now that new sports car will be bought by someone else!" Enzo said his annoyance at the situation.

With all of them present in the room, a few moments after the weird teleportation's happened, a chubby black genie appeared, floating mid air among them, a smile on his face as he gave a wave. Yoshiro jumping back in fright, he pointed at the genie, "Who the hell is that?!" He yelled out, his heart beating fast as Takeshi stepped closer a bit, "Hey… I know you. You're… uh… Mr. Toto… right? I met you by the base of that weird giant tower…" He said, recalling having met this genie before. "Yes… but my correct name is Mr. Popo." He replied, introducing him by the correct name, taking a small bow before continuing, "I am here because you are urgently needed by the guardian of the Earth, Dende." He explained as it was met by silence for a brief bit. "Shut up you foreign devil! How dare you try to trick us into going with you so you can kidnap us! Is this the new 'in' thing kidnappers do these days?! Use the whole 'guardian of the Earth' thing as an excuse?! Be gone! You do not belong amongst us! Be gone, oh devil!" Enzo yelled out, pointing right at Mr. Popo before looking around at all the eyes that looked at him as if to say 'you're an idiot'.

"What do you mean the guardian of the Earth? Who's the guardian of the Earth and what's this urgent news?" Hikaru asked, curiously raising an eyebrow. "Humph… Well if the Guardian of the Earth has urgent news, why doesn't he just come himself? Who is he anyway? Can't be someone important because I'm the strongest on this planet. Technically, that makes ME guardian if anything should happen to this planet!" Koji said while crossing his arms as his arrogance began spewing out with no one really paying attention to his ego-bulging moment.

"Please… time is short. We must go now. All of you must come." Mr. Popo instructed as he waited to hear their responses while they looked at each other, pondering what to do. Koji's eyes were set on Sora as he was confused at a certain matter. If the Guardian of the Earth had said everyone, that would mean Sora too, but Sora had no special powers and was not a descendant of any Z fighter. This matter was confusing and unusual for Koji. "I say we go. I mean, we should at least see what it's about and all." Takeshi was the first to state his vote in the matter being accompanies by a nod from Hikaru who agreed and soon after from Katsumi. "Yeah. We got nothing to lose and it'll be some get away time, I guess." She said, agreeing to go. Even Misaki, the one who hated weird places and would rather go shopping and fashion had given her nod to go see the Guardian of the Earth. All eyes were set on Koji now who curled his mouth in annoyance, "Fine! We'll go… but I swear if this is a damn hoax, Popo! I'll make you suffer for wasting my time!" Making a sort of empty threat in his anger, Koji nodded to go as well.

Soon after being transported with Mr. Popo to the lookout high above the Earth, the descendants of the once greatest warriors of the Earth began looking around in awe at the giant round structure. Blinking at the height, they were shocked at how such a thing can exist so far up in the air. "Wow! This place is so high in the sky! How can anyone afford this place?! This is insane!" Hikaru said, still surprised at the lookouts size and location. "You idiot… the Guardian of the Earth, the first one that is, made this place! He didn't pay for it!"A voice from a side location of the lookout said.

As they looked down to that side, they saw Piccolo Daichi there; arms crossed as he stared into the sky and soon glanced back at them. "Hey! Daichi! How'd you get here?" Yoshiro questioned as he recalled that Daichi was not with them when Mr. Popo had showed up. "I came here long before you guys did. I was summoned here before all of you. He told me to come through a telepathic link." He replied, his finger pointing into the darkness of the small walk in entrance of the palace like structure in the center of the lookout as an old figure began walking out into the light and slowly descending down the flight of stairs and down the center path that was marked on either side by a set of trees. "Welcome… I am Dende, the Guardian of the Earth. It is a pleasure to finally meet you all." Dende said, smiling as the wrinkles on his face moved out during the smile and a small nod followed.

Surprised and shocked, they looked on toward Dende, dumbfounded at his appearance and quickly observing Daichi and Dende at the same time. "Y…Your… the Guardian of the Earth?" Hikaru began, his sights going to Daichi and then back at Dende, "You're like… Daichi Grandpa or something?! You two look exactly alike! Except… you're like… older…" He stated the resemblance between them and was replied with a small laugh from Dende. "Oh no… I am not his grandfather. I am long before his time, but I do know his father and grandfather. Piccolo Daichi and I are from the same race of beings known as the Namekians." Dende informed the gang who nodded in curiosity, finally knowing Daichi's race. "Well! Why didn't you tell us you're 'Namekian'! I've been calling you Green Man all this time… sorry…" Yoshiro apologized, giving a sheepish smile toward Daichi who shrugged, obviously indicating that he had never taken offense to it.

Koji growled at all the nonsense chitchatting as he stepped up to Dende, standing face to face to him. "So why are we here? Hm? I've got better things to do than to be here so speak what you want to say and we'll be on our way!" Koji said, his anger and self-centered nature clearly not held back even toward the Guardian of the Earth. Dende gave a small smile to Koji at his words and was not annoyed at the way Koji talked to him. "Ah yes… Koji. You're just like your ancestor, Vegeta. Strong will and mind and heart of a warrior." Dende commented before nodding, "Very well… I'll explain your reasons for being here." Dende said, taking a couple steps past Koji who crossed his arms and kept eye on Dende as he walked passed him.

As silence took over for the moments after, Dende took let out a sigh as he stared into the sky before turning to face them. "I have already explained this to Daichi and he understands fully. You're the descendants of once the greatest warriors on Earth. However, as there has been a long standing peace on the Earth, you all have not had a reason to train. Koji trains because he wants to but even he knows that he has no particular reason to," Dende began as his glance went to Koji for a moment as who curled his lip up and turned his head the other way at the last remark, "But now… you have a reason to train. And that is… to protect your home." Dende explained the first part as a small sense of shock came to the others, raising an eyebrow at the last statement.

Taking a step closer to Dende, Takeshi was the first to speak in curiosity of this news, "Protect our homes? W… What do you mean?" Takeshi replied, wanting to know more about this as well as the others. "I have sensed a powerful force coming to Earth. I cannot explain what it is or even how truly strong this force is, but it is definitely someone," The guardian explained, his sights going back to the sky above, "And this force… I have sensed a great evil and disturbing darkness within it." As he further informed them of the impeding danger, they could not believe what they were hearing. Koji growled in anger at this, partially annoyed at the fact that he had said that one day something like this would happen and training for such an event would be smart.

"A… an… evil person?" Katsumi questioned in a frightened matter by this news. "Yes… A dark person that wishes to destroy your homes. Your ancestors devoted themselves in protecting this planet against all evil and you all would not be here today if it weren't for them. It is now your turn to do the same and protect your home from those who want to take it over or destroy it. I do not know when this force will arrive. It is not immediately, but it is soon and so… you must train to increase your powers in order to defend against this foe. Your powers that were passed on from your ancestors must be awakened so you can combat for this planets survival. We will teach you the techniques of training and help you learn your powers well. It is not mandatory and you can choose to do what you wish… but decide the right thing…" Dende explained, seeing the looks on their faces. Looks of fear, confusion and doubt as they looked amongst themselves.

Sora suddenly stepped out and spoke out to Dende in her doubt. "But… Dende… I do not have any powers. I am not sure if I descend from anyone in particular… but… I know that I am not from any of their family blood ties. I am not powerful in anyway…" She said, her head lowering down only to be brought back up by Dende's finger who smiled at her. "On the contrary, Sora, you have a special power within you that you are not aware of and we'll help you bring it out." Dende explained, slowly putting a small smile on Sora's face as she nodded.

Silence amongst the young warriors remained only to be broken by Koji. "Well! I for one am in! My powers are massive and I can defeat this evil by myself! However! All if you should now believe my words and train! Take the initiative and do what is right and we can increase our powers together! I'm sure Daichi is already in. Do it for our ancestors who gave tears and blood to giving us a home to live in." Koji said, looking to the others. "I'm in!" Hikaru replied, standing tall, nodding toward Koji. "Me too!" It was Takeshi this time that nodded to Dende and grinned at Koji. Soon followed by Katsumi and Yoshiro and even Sora nodded, willing to train and learn of her secret powers. Misaki was hesitant and reluctantly agreed to go through with it, but knowing that she would not know a thing about this all.

It was now time for them to step up and protect their homes.
