Disclaimer: I do not own the following: Sonic the hedgehog, Dragonball Z, Prince of Persia (the Dagger of time), Batman (the car looks like the Bat-Mobil); (I will add more when the time comes.)
Claimer: Bakuda I own. Bakuda was a 'spur-of-the-moment' name a friend and I created for an online game in 1999. I used the name for every game/story character ever since. If you spot anything that may be discreetly connected to another Anime/book/TV show, ECT, it is purely coincidence and not intentional.
Bakuda found himself in darkness; "Am I dreaming? The last thing I remember is looking at a bomb… a bomb in the sky… when the full moon is out! I must have killed someone! Tails will never forgive me… I hope I didn't kill him!" Bakuda put his head in his hands worried of his little brother, but a familiar voice came from behind him; "You didn't kill me and you don't have to apologize for something beyond your control," the voice said. Bakuda whipped around and saw just who he wanted to see, the twin tailed Kitsune, Tails.
Bakuda ran to Tails and put his hands on his shoulders; "Tails! You're alive! Maybe I should explain why we are here and what happened at the stadium…" Bakuda began looking at his shoes. Tails laughed; "No need! The god of hope filled me in and Knuckles told me about the Saiyans 'curse', we are dreaming… since we are brothers and sleeping at the same time… we share the dream!" Tails said happily. Bakuda was shocked; "You talked to the god of hope? Wait a minute… the pact… Tails! you're Saiyan!" Bakuda yelled looking at Tail's now onyx eyes. Tails looked down; "you're angry aren't you…" Tails said holding his arm and rubbing it.
Bakuda laughed and said; "Far from it! I just can't wait for the others to hear about this! Or when my dad hears that he has now got a THIRD son!" Bakuda laughed out load. Tails looked at Bakuda hopefully; "You're not mad?" he asked. Bakuda shook his head; "I am not mad at all, I am happy! I couldn't ask for a better brother! No one understands me like you do…" Bakuda explained. Tails wagged his tails happily; "Oh yeah, I also got this!" Tails said taking out his sword from the new sheath on his back. Bakuda inspected the sword; "Nice, I prefer mine though…" Bakuda said taking out his sword and admiring it, that's when two beams shot out of the sword and landed on the ground! The two chaos emeralds they won were sitting in front of them; "the chaos emeralds?" Tails asked confused.
Bakuda reached for them but stopped and then touched them with his sword… the blade shone a white light… and when it died down the sword had transformed! The blade looked like it was cut from a large green jewel, jagged edges and a dial on the handle where seven small gems were… the green and white were growing!
Bakuda was mystified; "the chaos blade… the gems on the dial must glow when the blade touches the other emeralds!" Bakuda said to Tails who was now inspecting the blade; "Can you turn it back?" He asked. Bakuda gripped the blade and yelled; "Sword of hope!" as soon as he said that, the blade transformed back to its original state. Tails picked up the two emeralds; "Why were these not absorbed 'into' the sword? I felt chaos energy from the sword but the emeralds were not touching it." Tails asked. Bakuda thought putting the sword back; "It must allow me to use the emeralds over long distances." Bakuda said snapping his fingers.
Tails nodded then said worried; "when you were stabbed by the sword of dawn… you turned back to normal, but… the god of hope said…"
Flashback
"Bakuda is in his dark form; the 'sword of dawn' will revert him back to his original form, yet, if you bring light to darkness… a shadow will be born!"
End Flashback
Bakuda put his hand to his face; "a shadow huh… I will think of that later, I think you should meet Vegeta! He would like to meet a new Saiyan!" Bakuda said to an unsure Tails. "O-okay…" Tails said nervously before a white light brought them both to the spaceship where Vegeta trained.
"Vegeta! Come out! I got someone to meet you!" Bakuda yelled with his hands cupped around his mouth. A light noise brought Bakuda's attention and quickly dodged to the side to avoid a blast! Bakuda turned around and came face the attacker… Vegeta… Vegeta smiled at Bakuda; "You HAVE been training… good… but I sensed another person, where is he?" Vegeta asked. Bakuda smiled, "Behind you!" Bakuda said smug, Vegeta turned around before he was met with a foot in the face! Tails smiled as he jumped to Bakuda's side; "This is the prince of Saiyans? I thought he would have seen that coming!" Tails chuckled.
Vegeta turned back with a snarl on his face; "Who are you boy!" he yelled. Bakuda then steeped in between them; "Vegeta, meet Tails, my brother and Saiyan." Bakuda said facing Vegeta who had a shocked expression; "At least I know why that kick stung a little…" Vegeta smiled as he turned to Bakuda; "You chose well kid, I suppose you are teaching him the ways of the Saiyan?" Vegeta asked raising an eyebrow. Bakuda closed his eyes then recited; "A Saiyan will seek out strong opponents and try to defeat them even though it means death, a Saiyan will protect a comrade at the cost of ones life and most importantly, to keep the pride of the Saiyan warrior inside him/her for their entire existence in both this world and the next." Bakuda finished opening his eyes, Vegeta taught him this speech as they were on Namek.
Vegeta smiled and turned to Tails; "you got that kid? A Saiyan has to have more than strength; he needs boundaries to break and others to hold, that is why I will never respect you're father, even if he is a super Saiyan!" Vegeta told the eight year old.
Bakuda nodded then turned to Tails; "we should wake up soon, we need to go." Bakuda said. Vegeta was confused; "wake up?" Bakuda looked at vegeta while walking to Tail's side; "We can only talk to you while we are sleeping, we should wake soon, oh and do you know anything about the Shadow of a Saiyan?" Bakuda asked. Vegeta's mouth dropped as he watched Bakuda and Tails disappear; "Here is my advice, keep your friends close if you're dealing with that…" Vegeta warned when Bakuda and Tails 'woke'.
"Hey guys they are waking up!" Sonic yelled to everyone to get their attention, everyone that was at the game but Knuckles, who left to who-knows-where and of corse the crowd and Eggman. They crowded around the pair of waking vulpine who blinked their eyes open and looked at each other; "that was real, right?" Tails asked Bakuda sleepily, Bakuda nodded; "yep, you get used to it after a while…" he replied.
Sonic came to Bakuda; "What the hell happened back there! First you go crazy, and then Tails all of a sudden pulls a sword from nowhere, stabs you with it with no injury we can find, you fall unconscious and turn back too normal and Tails learns the Kamehameha to destroy the bomb even though he has only seen it once!" Sonic yelled in his face. Bakuda sighed and explained; "I do that whenever I look at the full moon, it is like lycanthropy, only I don't turn into a werewolf, I go dark with no idea of who I am. As for turning back to normal, well… Tails used the 'sword of dawn' that he got from a pact to revert me," Bakuda finished sat relaxed on the couch.
Amy then came close to ask her question; "How could Tails make a pact! He was about to get shed to pieces by you and your 'dark form'!" she asked accusingly. Tails spoke up; "when I was about to be attacked, time stopped and some voice that said he was the 'god of hope' said I could save him if I made a sacrifice… I did and received the 'sword of dawn' to revert him!" Tails said while relaxing on the couch in the same position that Bakuda was in.
Chris asked worried about Tails; "What did you have to sacrifice?" Tails sighed and closed his eyes; "my previous blood, I am now Bakuda's brother… literally! The same blood that runs through his veins runs through mine… we are like twins…" Tails said relaxing, smiling at such a good deal.
Sonic looked at Tails pitifully; "Tails… I know you want a real family but…" He was about to finish but Bakuda cut in; "Sonic? What colour are my eyes?" Bakuda asked staring at Sonic. Sonic looked angry at the interruption; "Black, why?" Bakuda then asked; "What colour is Tails eyes?" Bakuda asked again. Sonic was getting a little agitated by what he thought were useless questions; "Blue, you finished?" Sonic asked Bakuda irritated. Bakuda smiled and turned to Tails; "Open your eyes Tails, prove you're my real brother now…" Tails opened his eyes and everyone gasped. Amy yelled; "they black like Bakuda's! It is not possible!"
(Some things never die… 'It is not possible!'…)
Tails and Bakuda turned to everyone and then looked at each other and grinned, having a mental discussion. Bakuda turned to Chuck and said; "Are you able to do a bio-scan? Check Tails and my DNA and see if it is identical." Bakuda asked. Chuck seemed wary but said; "Follow me, I need to get a sample of blood,"
After an hour of Tails running around screaming; "NEEDLE!" and Bakuda yelling; "get back here Tails!" Chuck got the blood…
"Now we just have to wait for the results to come back, thanks to Chuck's equipment, he should be back in 5 minutes." Bakuda explained to everyone while holding Tails in a one armed hug, who was upset of being kept down to the ground by Bakuda so Chuck could get a blood sample. "Why did you have to do that?" Tails asked Bakuda rubbing his sore arm. Bakuda looked at Tails and said; "Only way to prove it, this will show how you can do the Kamehameha wave so easily and why you have onyx eyes." Tails suddenly grabbed his stomach and moaned, Bakuda laughed; "you probably got my appetite too!' Bakuda said while bending over too, having similar pains of hunger. "Oh yes! More cooking for me! The others don't eat as much of my cooking as the others do and they still compliment on my cooking after every serve!" Ella thought happily. Ella made her way to the kitchen; "I will be back soon with some food my dears." called Ella from the kitchen.
Bakuda looked relieved when she said that; "thanks, Ella!" Chuck came in with a laptop; "I just got the results," Chuck announced, Sonic grinned; "aright, lets bury this illusion in the ground!" he said smugly, looking at Bakuda. Chuck opened the laptop and opened up a window showing two DNA Double-helix's (DNA code). Chuck then pressed a button on the laptop; "This will tell if they are brothers…" the two images were brought together and seconds later… Chuck's face suddenly got pale; "it's not possible… not possible at all!" he yelled looking at the results and then too the fox's who were symmetrically sitting next to each other. Chris looked at the results but couldn't make sense of it; "What is it? Are the brothers?" Chris asked.
Chuck shook his head; "it's not that… it's that they are completely the same! Every detail of the DNA structure is identical! They are not just brothers! They are like the same person!" Chuck yelled to everyone's surprise. Sonic looked in shock to the fox's on the couch who were grinning ear to ear looking directly at each other. Bakuda then looked to everyone and said smugly; "Told ya so! Ahh! FOOD!!!" he yelled when Ella came back with a tray of food, enough to feed the whole mansion about a week. Tails and Bakuda bent there heads before eating… then dug in… leaving nothing left five minutes later! Amy smiled at Tails who just finished an entire mountain of food; "yep, they are definitely brothers alright!" she commented at Tails appetite.
Bakuda got off the couch and said to Ella and the others; "Thanks again for the food Ella, now," Bakuda pulled Tails off the chair; "Bedtime! Big brother says so!" Tails was already asleep though… Sonic then remembered something; "Hey! where are the chaos emeralds?!" Bakuda turned to Sonic "here…" he pulled his sword out and said; "blade of chaos!" Soon he was holding the jagged blade in his hands and he pointed it to the table, where the two emeralds appeared. This scared the living daylights out of Sonic and the others, Bakuda explained; "I got the chaos blade when it touched the emeralds, it has the ability to hold anything I want and to control the chaos emeralds over long distances, but only the ones that I have touched. I think it best to have them in the sword, since only I can use it," Bakuda then pointed the blade to the emeralds again and said; "Return!" The chaos emeralds turned into pure light and flew back into the blade.
Tails woke because of the commotion; "what's going on?" Tails asked. Bakuda looked to Tails who he was holding; "nothing, just showing the chaos blade, now bedtime for you, you continue you're training tomorrow and next… you have to spar with me!" Bakuda said to the defiant kit. "But I am not… yawn… tired yet…" and he fell asleep again. Bakuda chuckled as he put Tails to bed and hopped into his own. Bakuda looked at Tails; "Good night… little bro, I owe you big time…" and he fell asleep himself.
