"Hello" - normal talking
'Hello' - thoughts
Far away from earth, in another galaxy called spiral, an abandoned planet had ten moons orbiting around it. No living being has visited that planet for nearly thousands of years, mainly because the planet was not habitable and did not contain many useful resources to collect. Only the toughest souls ever went there, but few returned safely.
There was no correct history about that planet, but it was surrounded by many myths. Like, Millions of years ago, this planet was the home of an advanced and flourishing civilization of ancient beings called the Ōtsutsuki. Some said they were wiped out because the planet's core went unstable and they could escape the catastrophe in time, some said they were destroyed in a civil war, but one myth dominates the others and that was, millions of years ago two god-like beings wiped out the whole civilization. But they were just myths and what archaeologists found about this ancient dead civilization, it was hard to believe any of those myths.
But what made this planet special for others, was that a single temple stood even after the planet's and its civilization's destruction. Many archaeologists and especially scavengers tried to explore it but they all failed to find anything valuable. And given that the temple had some kind of defense mechanism many had died trying to tinker with it.
…...
A large spaceship was seen heading towards that planet. It didn't show any sign of stopping or changing its direction as its destination was the planet itself. Soon the ship entered the rough stormy atmosphere. Lightning rumbled and hit the ship but it didn't take any damage. Pretty soon the ship landed on the ground. The area they landed in looked like a mountain graveyard. The temple stood tall not so far away.
The hatch of the spaceship opened and a ramp rolled out to the ground. Seven figures walked out of the ship and stood on the ground. They were all wearing protective space suits except one, who seemed just fine breathing in the poisonous sulphuric acid-filled air.
The one with no protective suit looked like an old man in his seventies. His wrinkled skin was white as snow, his white hair was almost reaching his hip, his face was gaunt, and he had wrinkles and old age spots. He had two large horns coming out of his forehead. His eyes were unique looking, the iris were enlarged and yellow and there were no distinguishable pupils. He had black marking running vertically under the outer corners of each eye, which stretched down into his face. He stood at a height of 6'5" wearing only a white hakama-like robe and pants. His name was Nagatsu Ōtsutsuki.
The old Ōtsutsuki took a long breath of the poisonous air and slowly breathed out the air "Ahhh! It's been over eleven million years since I last came here," He looked around downheartedly "It brings sadness to my heart that I wasn't here to save my people."
Six figures behind him looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders in confusion as they could actually hear what the old pale-skinned man was saying. Nagatsu then started walking towards the Temple and they followed behind. When they reached there, they were hesitant to even take any steps toward the temple's door.
The old Ōtsutsuki saw their unwillingness to go inside "By their reaction I can already guess this isn't the first time someone tried to enter the temple. If they only knew this temple is protected by seals that only I can break." He stood in front of the door and touched it with his right hand. Red-eye with multiple rings appeared on his forehead. Black markings appeared all over the temple's walls. It glowed red for a second and disappeared completely.
Soon the door of the temple opened. Everyone was hit by a strong gust of wind "Come inside. The door will close very soon." Nagatsu went inside and the rest of them followed behind him. The door soon closed again. "You all can take off your suits now. The air is suitable for every being in the universe." Six figures behind him nodded and slowly took off their suits. Under their suits, they were all wearing typical black and brown armor of Frieza force and black spandex underneath.
"Where does this fresh breathable air come from anyway?" Raisin looked around the temple.
"How does this temple work? I don't see any devices or power sources at all." Lakasei asked the old man.
Raisin and Lakasi were twin brothers. They are both Beenz from planet Been. Both of them had purple skins and big round heads with small spikes coming out the top of their heads and They were both the smallest members of the group, only standing at a height of 3'8".
"Yeah, I can't detect any kind of device or any power source of any kind here. How is this possible?" Asked Cacao. He was a cyborg. His appearance is marked by cyborg components adorned over his skin. His armor was built by Frieza force and has a large array of weapons built into it.
"You idiots! Even if any devices could filter the poisonous air on this planet, where the hell would it get the power from." Said Turles. He was one of the remaining low-class Saiyans. Aside from a dark skin tone, Turles looked exactly the same as Naruto's father Bardock, even virtually identical height and build. Behind him were Diaz and Amond, who were also Saiyans. They looked like typical low-class Saiyan brutes.
How did they survive? Well, they were on a mission with their prince and other Saiyans when Frieza destroyed their planet along with the whole Saiyan race. Yes, they knew it was Frieza who destroyed their race. Anyone with half the brain could figure that out. When Frieza called every Saiyans to return to their home planet, their prince suspected something was not right and decided not to return home.
They continued on their mission and a few days later they got a message from the Frieza force that their planet was destroyed by an asteroid and their whole race was wiped out. At that moment their prince realized that Frieza was lying and their planet's destruction has something to do with Frieza himself. Saiyans would have detected any asteroids long before they could hit their planet. They all realized that and believed their prince except Raditz, who was too ignorant to realize the truth.
From that day the remaining Saiyans trained to get stronger and vowed to destroy Frieza and his empire. They even learned how to hide their power level and at the same time sense others' power levels. So no scouter could measure their power. With their prince's power getting closer to Frieza's level it won't be long before they would go against Frieza.
"That's right. No power source can power any device for more than a thousand years, let alone a million years." Diaz explained.
The old Ōtsutsuki chuckled, "You are right, Saiyan. This place doesn't use any device or any kind of power source. This temple is getting powered by a single seal." He explained much of their confusion. "Our people never used fossil fuel or any kind of sustainable or renewable power. We never needed an alternate power source either. We were one of the few beings in the universe who were born with Chakra. While the rest of the beings in the universe used Ki."
"Chakra?!" all three Saiyans asked.
"Yes, Chakra or many know it as the cosmic power, the power that runs the whole universe itself."
"You mean cosmic background microwave radiation. But how is that possible? I never heard anyone wielding something like this before." Turles said as he looked around the temple. It was filled with many beautiful paintings of battles and many of those black markings.
"It will be a surprise if any of you even knew about chakra." He stopped walking making the rest of them stop too. "No beings in the universe knew about chakra at that time. Very few beings even knew about life outside their planets existed, let alone about chakra. Life was just evolving at that point. We along with Namekians, Gauet, Aliche, and Diluot were the only evolved species that held the power of chakra and had the means of traveling across the stars. Although the Namekians can also use Ki too. For some odd reason, their bodies generated Ki and Chakra separately."
That reminds me, In my day, Saiyans were nothing but giant monkeys with a high amount of Ki roaming its planet." He chuckled "It is really surprising how millions of years later your species changed and became strong and intelligent beings. I Am curious, tell me how you Saiyans were able to evolve so dramatically. Can any of you tell me?"
"We Saiyans don't know about our history or about our evolution that much. Thirty thousand years ago After the great civil war, our home planet Sadala was destroyed because of it. Hundreds of remaining Saiyans from the winning side left planet Sadala before its destruction and repopulated in Planet Vegeta. Over time anything related to Saiyan origins was forgotten." Turles explained.
"So what do you know ?"
"The only history we were taught was that we Saiyans were primitive people who lived alongside the Tuffle in Sadala. They were a very technologically advanced race and hunted us Saiyans for sports. But we Saiyans would eventually be able to take the whole planet for themselves and destroy the Tuffle race. Though some Tuffles were able to escape their annihilation. Other than that we don't know about our race."
"That's a letdown. I really wanted to know about Saiyan's evolution. Looks like it will stay a mystery as your Saiyans are on the brink of extinction." Nagatsu shook his head in disappointment. Turles and the rest of the Saiyans gritted their teeth but didn't say anything.
"But how can you tell that we Saiyans were just Oozaru and roaming around Planet Sadala? How can that be? Saiyans can only transform into an Oozaru by looking at the full moon." Diaz asked the old Ōtsutsuki. "Even if you knew, You have to be very ancient to know about that."
"Yes, How can we know that you're not just making this all up?" Turles looked at the paled-skinned old man straight in his yellow eyes.
"Why should I make all that up? I was there to see it myself. I already told you didn't I? I was sealed by my enemies many-many years ago. How long was it ….. ahh ten…. no ahh yes, it few million years ago when I was young and traveling one pallet to another to seek chaos and fun,"
"Eleven million?!" All of them shouted in surprise. "Are you immortal or something?"
The pale old Ōtsutsuki chuckled again "Not quite. Now then come and stand closer to me." They did what they were told. Soon they were all surrounded by those strange markings, aging. The reality around them blurred and became very disoriented and colorful.
"What the?! What is happening?" The Beenz duo looked scared. The rest of them were not doing fine eighter.
"Don't worry. We are just being transported to another dimension."
Turles's eyes widened in shock "Another dimension! How is this possible?"
"Hahaha, anything is possible with chakra little boy." The old man laughed "Now we will be going through five other temples like this. Every temple is located in different dimensions. Our destination is the final temple."
"What are we looking for exactly?" Turles asked.
"Our goal is to find a seed."
"A seed?!"
The old Ōtsutsuki didn't say anything else as they were transported to an icy place. Wherever they looked they only found nothing but ice and icy mountains. The star shone brightly above the sky yet ice rained from the sky.
'What is this place? This place is covered with snow and ice but I can't feel the cold.' Turles thought and followed behind the old man 'I just hope this is all worth it or Vegeta will have my head.' He can't remember exactly why he and his team were even following this Ōtsutsuki in the first place. All he knew was if he followed him, he would get power in return, the power that he and his fellow Saiyans needed as soon as possible. Somehow he was able to convince his prince to let him help this old being for power.
His prince asked why though, but Turles wasn't able to tell why, all he knew was something back of his mind was telling him to follow and help this Ōtsutsuki. The prince threatened him not to do anything foolish that would make Frieza become more suspicious of them. But Turles guaranteed that if something happened then he would take all the blame.
When did this begin? It all started a few months ago.
Two months ago
Turles and his team just finished their mission and headed to a planet called Eris. It wasn't a very hard mission, they were just ordered to conquer a planet that was inhabited by very weak species. They were ordered to get back to the main HQ after the mission but Turles decided to meet with his prince first, before heading back to the HQ. He didn't tell the Beenz duo and Cacao or the captain the reason, because he, Diaz, and Almond didn't trust them in the first place. The Saiyans knew they were put on the team only to spy on them. Frieza clearly doesn't trust any Saiyans, to begin with.
As they were heading towards their destination, their ship started to shake, alarms went off. Suddenly the ship stopped in the middle of the space. [The Bebop Spaceship]
"What happened? Are we under attack?" Dark-skinned Saiyan asked the pilot as he walked to the cockpit.
"I don't know sir. The ships suddenly started acting weirdly and two of our main engines were damaged somehow. It must be a very strong EMP."
"How can that be? The ship's shield is designed to be able to not take any kind of damage, especially from an EMP. Besides, our Scouters are still working." Suddenly the whole ship shook again, this time the rest of the team came to the cockpit. "Check the radar and see if any ships are attacking us."
"I can't see anything on the radar." Suddenly the power on the ship went out "The power is gone. Switching to backup power." The pilot said and turned on the backup power or he thought he did. But it didn't happen.
"What happened? Turn on the backup power or we will freeze to death in the middle of nowhere." Diaz shouted at the pilot. The air around them had already dropped a few degrees. Because they were stuck in one of the coldest parts of the galaxy.
"I Know. I Know." The pilot shouted back at the Saiyan "What do you think I am doing? Whatever hit us, also damaged our backup power system."
Diaz was about to attack the pilot for talking back at him like that. But he was held back by Amond "Calm down Diaz."
"He is right." Turles said to Diaz "We are all in danger right now. Don't make any hasty decisions that you will regret and put all us all in danger." Diaz finally calmed down, but anger could still be seen in his eyes.
Cacao the cyborg looked around the cockpit "I will go initiate the repairing bot and try to fix the damages." His armor made some beeping sounds. "In the meantime, I advise you all to look out for the enemies or whatever causing this."
Turles nodded "You heard what he said. Diaz, Amond you two try to spot enemies, use your scouter." Two Saiyans nodded and went to do what they were told. Turles then looked at the Beenz duo "You two go check out the cockpit and see if something is wrong with it."
"Turles Can you do something for me?" The pilot asked the Saiyan.
"What do you need?"
The pilot pointed at the back of the cockpit "I just remembered there's an emergency battery there that can help power up the cockpit and the whole deck for some time. Can you go there and hook it up please."
Turtles nodded and went to work. It didn't take too long for him to take out the battery and hook it up with the cockpit. The light turned on again and the air also started to get warm. "How long will this battery last?"
"About thirty minutes." The pilot then taped his scouter "Cacao, can you hear me, respond please."
"Loud and clear, what do you need? "
"We have power in the cockpit. I have just run the system check and it shows three of our four power reactors are offline. It's not damaged, it's just not supplying power. I need you to go to the reactors and check if something is wrong with them.
"Copy that. I am re-routing all the repair bots to the reactor compartment." Said Cacao. The pilot ended the communication and went back to check the ship's software and see if there's any problem there."
"Not much. Raisin, did you find any problem there?" Turles asked the Beenz brothers.
"There's nothing wrong with This side of the deck, Turles." Raisin replied as he came out from under the cockpit "What about you, Lakasei?"
Lakasei who was still under the cockpit and checking the components " I think I found something here. Ahh…. Let's see… I got it." He then came out holding a small device "The ship's AI Chip controller is damaged." He threw the device at the pilot who caught it and started to examine it carefully.
"I see. It seems it got overheated somehow."
"Yeah, the cooling system that was supposed to keep it cool is also damaged or it's somehow stopped working,"
Turles's eyes widened when he realized something "All the automated system is controlled by the ship's AI. Then that means we have been traveling through space with a busted AI system. Ship's shield that protects its component from radioactive waves must have been down all this time."
"That's bad. I hope the reactor is not damaged. If it is game over for us all."
"We still have pods, don't we?" Raisin said, "We could use those and get to the HQ."
Turles shook his head "No, it's not that easy as it seems. We could use our pods and get to nearby planets but not the HQ. It wasn't built for traveling that kind of distance, nor does it have any suspended animation system."
As the rest of the team was discussing their possible escape plan, Lakasei was looking outside of the ship through the cockpit's windscreens. He saw something glowing. At first, he thought it was a start near but after remembering this part of the galaxy does not have any stars at all. He tapped his scouter to see what that was. The scouter suddenly show power level as soon it tracked the object,"
"Ahh, guys. The scouter is detecting a huge amount of power level from there." Lakasei pointed outside. Everyone stopped talking and looked at the glowing object. Suddenly that thing released a huge shock wave and got bigger. The shock wave shook the whole ship.
"What is that?" Turles asked, "It's getting bigger somehow, or is that thing coming towards us."
The power came up again "Thank the lord the power is back. Cacao must have fixed the problem. Zooming on the object right now." Everyone looked at the screen and saw a small crack in the space itself, And it was getting bigger and bigger. "It looks like a crack in space itself, I have never seen anything like that before."
"Strange! it's not moving and my scouter is measuring power level above 1000000 from that glowing crack., it's almost unbelievable." Although he didn't need a scouter to actually measure the power, he didn't want the pilot to know about his ability. Turles looked at the pilot "Is the engine ready yet. I don't know what that thing is and I don't want to know eighter. Just get us all out of here."
"Nearly done. The engine takes a few seconds to start."
"Good. we must get out of here as soon as possible."
Cacao, Diaz, and Amond entered the cockpit and Turles explained to them what was happening. Cacao looked at the strange crack in space and put everything together and realized how their ship actually got damaged. "That thing is releasing a huge amount of radiation. My guess is that when the ship's shield went down, it was hit by a shock wave of gamma radiation from that. That's how our ship's power went out along with its backup power. But I can't find any data in my system about that strange thing."
Suddenly the crack got even larger and started to create shock waves after shock waves of Gamma radiation. Thankfully the Ship's shield was back on and it protected the ship from all the radiation. But as it was getting bigger it suddenly disappeared.
"What just happened?"
"The strong gamma radiation shockwaves are gone." Cacao said.
"I don't know eighter. I'm checking it with my scouter." Diaz tapped his scouter to detect power level out there "It's detecting something and its power level is about 5000."
The pilot again zoomed in on the spot where the crack was and saw something white floating in the space. "What is that? It looks like some kind of body….. It is a body wrapped in white clothes."
"That doesn't explain what happened to that crack and how that body appeared there." Turles said "Get the tractor beam ready. I want that thing on the ship right now."
"Is that even safe to bring here? I mean we don't know what that thing is ."
Turles rubbed his chin while looking at the screen "I have a hunch about that thing. Whatever that crack was, it must have been caused by that thing out there. And our scouter was picking that high power level from that thing as well. That's why I want to see what that thing is."
Everyone started to discuss what they were going to do, and agreed with Turles, and decided to bring that floating body on the ship. The pilot gilded the tractor beam to bring the body into the ship. When they saw a body of a frail old man and heavily wounded. Although they couldn't recognize what species it was. They kept that thing in the medical deck where they put it in a healing tank.
"I have never seen any species that look like this before." Turles said, "What about you guys?"
Everyone shook their heads "Negative. after analyzing its blood my system is unable to recognize its race." Cacao replied. "Whatever this thing is, it has the self-regeneration ability and ability to survive in the vacuum of space."
"So what should we do now?" The pilot asked.
Turles thought about a second "We should head to a nearby station and get our ship fully checked. We can't risk it, with our ship still damaged, we might get in trouble again." He looked at the tank "And as for that thing, we will hand it to Lord Frieza. He might even reward us for this."
"Good thinking. It will take roughly twenty-three days to reach the nearby station." Amond said, "But what about after that, should we meet with Vegeta as we previously planned or we go straight to the Hq?"
"For now I am not so sure. We will decide once we reach the station and our ship is fixed." Turles then left the medical deck and went to his personal quarter. Everyone too went to their own quarter and the pilot went to the cockpit to launch their ship to its new destination.
Unknown to them the wounded being in the healing tank opened his eyes and a few seconds later it went to sleep again.
…...
It didn't take long for them to reach their destination. In Fact, they reached earlier than they expected. The station they are currently at was one of the many stations of Frieza force. There are countless stations like this throughout all the galaxies Frieza has conquered all these years. Only members of the Frieza force were allowed to use the station's service, from ship repairment to medical help were given here for the forces.
Currently, all the members of Turles's team were in the cantine area, waiting for their ship to get fixed. Everyone was eating except Turles who excused himself and went elsewhere to do something. Diaz and Amond gave him a look, knowing what he was going to do.
Turles went somewhere distant from the canteen area, where he looked around to find to spot if any was beside him there or not. After looking around for a minute he pulled out a communication device. Usually, every member of the Frieza force communicates with each other by their Scouters. Each scouter was equipped with the latest communication equipment that can be used to communicate with others at any distance, but it has a limitation. It cannot communicate directly with the receiver if he or she was in another galaxy. But it can transmit any message at any distance even if the receiver was in another galaxy, though it takes time to reach the receiver, it depends on the distance.
Turles wasn't just using another communication device for his Scouter's limitation. Another reason was that he didn't want Frieza to know about his conversation with his prince. Every Saiyans knew the scouter they were given was being monitored by Frieza himself to know if they were plotting against him."My prince, can you hear me?"
"Turles where the hell are you? You were supposed to meet us two days ago." A deep angry voice came from the other side.
"I am sorry my prince, we were on our way to your location. But we ran into some problems, our ship was damaged." Turles replied back. "Ships Ai and its cooling system were damaged and because of that we were traveling without any shields around our ship."
"How can that be? Didn't your ship go through a maintenance check-up before you went on a mission?"
"Yes, my prince. That's why I think Frieza was the one who ordered his men to mess up our ship again before we went on a mission." It wasn't the first time someone attempted something like that with them "It's getting frequent lately. But this time I think he wanted us to die in space."
"Yes, Frieza has been giving us very long-term missions lately. He is also pushing us to take some of his best men on my team. I think he is up to something." The prince said, "It looks like we have to move our plans faster than we thought."
"My prince, is it a wise move? I mean no disrespect but aside from You, Nappa and Shugesh, the rest of us are not powerful enough to face Frieza's elite fighters." Turles said "Even if we turn into our Oozaru form, we will still be at a disadvantage. Knowing the downside of turning into an Oozaru, will only bring us our downfall. Also, we have to look out for King cold and Cooler too. We need more time, my prince."
"You are right, Turles. Taking out Frieza is one thing and taking on his whole army is not possible for us at this time. Frieza is always with his elite fighters after all. And his family is not so far away." The prince became silent for a few seconds. "Say Turles, have you been hearing some rumor in HQ, About Frieza wanting to find a Planet called Namek."
"Yes my lord. I heard that Frieza is trying to find Namek, the home of the Namekians. He has been sending men to raid many of the galactic patrol's space stations to get its location by hacking their data system. But so far they are not able to get the location of Namek."
"They didn't but I did." The prince chuckled a little when he heard a gasp from Turles "On my last mission me and my team encountered a high-level Galactic patrol officer. Knowing what Frieza was doing, I took it upon myself to find Nameks location. We got all the information from that officer's ship."
"But my prince, what are you going to do with the planet Namek location?" Turles asked the prince.
"For now nothing. Frieza is ready to send us on a new mission. But when I'm done with this mission, I will personally visit that planet to check what got Frieza's attention. I want to see what those Namekians have to offer."
"My prince, There's something else I have to tell you." That's for the prince's attention and told turles to continue "When our ship got damaged we encountered something… "
For the next few Minutes Turles told about the strange incident that happened to them and about the pale old man they found after that "Should I recruit this old man, I am sure he would be in debt to us for saving his life. Or should I hand it over to Frieza force?"
"Hmm… first try to find out what that being is then recruit him. From what you said that thing might indeed be stronger than you think, he was badly wounded when you bought him in your ship after all. We need strong members on our side, even if they are not Saiyans. I Am secretly raiding resourceful planets to gather large amounts of money to hire thousands of mercenaries to face Frieza and his army, so more the merrier."
"As you wish my prince. I will inform you when he wakes up." Turles said and turned off his communication and went back to the canteen.
…
The pilot was returning to his ship to check if the mechanics found any other problem in his ship. When he reached his ship he saw there was no one around the ship. "Hmm, where are all the mechanics? I saw hundreds of them working here when I last saw them. Maybe they are inside."
He slowly went inside his ship to check on the mechanics, but when he reached inside what he saw terrified him. He watched in horror at the corpse or whatever was on the floor. It looked like one of the mechanics got everything in his body sucked dry from his body, leaving an empty husk.
"What happened to him?" He checked the body confirming that he was dead, then he pulled out his ray gun for his holster and got ready for any sudden danger or enemy. He slowly but carefully went ahead. The more he went deeper into the ship the more he saw the same kind of corpses lying on the ship's floor. "My god. There's more than half of the mechanics lying dead. And looking at their body positioned, they were certainly running from something, but from what?"
"I better call the others." He said to himself and tapped his scouter but no one answered his call "Darn it, they switched off their scouter. Darn my rotten luck. Looks like I have to do it myself." he went ahead following the trails of corpses. "It led me to the medic deck…. Ohh! No, I hope that thing is okay, I better hurry up." he quickly rushed to the medical deck.
A few minutes earlier
Inside the healing tank, the old man opened his eyes. He looked around with his yellow pupil-less eyes, but his vision was blurred by green heeling chemicals inside the tank. "W-W-Where am I?" He said to himself "Was I able to break out of my prison?… or is it just another dream?….. Am I hallucinating again?" He moved his body, the thick healing liquid made it difficult for him a little.
He then realized that he was inside some kind of tank made out of metal and glass, filled with liquid. He was naked, his body was old, frail, and was exposed and his lower part of the mouth was covered by some kind of mask pumping air into his lungs.
"NO, this is real, IAM FINALLY FREE" He started to thrash around in the tank. The glass of the tank broke and he fell down from the healing tank. He stood up on his feet but fell on his knees. He felt weak. But that didn't stop him from standing up again. Looking up as if he was looking at the sky, a single red eye with several rings in it on his forehead appeared "Hehehehe hahaha Hahahaha HAHAHAHA. I'M FREE FREE FREE. I TOLD YOU KAGUYA, I TOLD YOU NARUTO. I TOLD YOU, I WILL GET FREE! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA AHA HA HA HA! Nothing can keep I, Nagatsu Otsutsuki down."
Looking around he found many different types of equipment lying around that helped him to figure out he was in an infirmary. "Tenseigan" He called out to activate his chakra mode. "In this weakest form, my Tenseigan will give me enough boost to take on any problem for now." but to his surprise, nothing happened. Then he remembered that he had sacrificed most of his power including his immortality in order to get out of the prison.
"Damn it! My Tenseigan would have been a great asset right now. My body has become very frail too. I need to consume at least ten divine fruits to get my former power and immortality back" His yellow eyes glowed again "Byakugan" he whispered. Now he could see everything through all the metal walls. He was getting a 360-degree view without moving his head or body around. After scanning everything with his Byakugan, "Hmm, I'm in some kind of vessel, interesting. There are a total of two hundred creatures on this ship working here and one is coming towards this room."
As soon as one of the mechanics entered the medical deck to check on all the equipment he was pulled inside the deck by a yellow glowing chain wrapped around his arms and torso. He tried to break free but seeing an old frail man in front of his face made him stop "W-what!? Hey, let me go you freak."
Otsutsuki couldn't even understand a single word he said "Hmm... you're speaking a language that I don't know of. But no matter, your soul is the only thing that can provide me with the information I need for now."
The mechanic too didn't understand what the freak was saying, and his translator in his helmet couldn't even detect what language the pale old creature was talking. "Let me go, you hear me."
"You should be glad that your pathetic life is going to be useful to Nagatsu Ōtsutsuki." He then covered the screaming mechanic's mouth with his right hand, his ringed eye glowed as he sucked the mechanic's soul out with his right hand. Seconds later the Ōtsutsuki held a while hollow like a floating ball and threw the soulless husk of a body on the floor. The old Ōtsutsuki then bought the ball that contained the soul to his mouth and started eating it, like it was a fruit.
After eating the soul he let out a satisfactory sigh. He closed his eyes and absorbed the life energy and all the memory of the mechanic that he just killed. "Ahh yes, I can feel it. There is nothing better than consuming someone's soul." Memories after memories played in his mind "I see, it's good that I'm in my home galaxy. In my absence life has flourished to a much higher degree. Then that means I have been gone for more than I realized. Darn, you Kaguya… you and your dog just wait. When I regain my power I will destroy everything you Charise and kill you slowly and painfully." he scorned "But first I have to reach my planet and find out how much time has passed since my imprisonment."
After consuming the life energy and the memory from the mechanic, the Ōtsutsuki felt hunger for more. He wanted more information and more energy. He wasted no time and held his arms forward, multiple chains shot out of his hand and going through the ship's metal wall. With his 360-degree x-ray vision he guided all The chains searched and pierce through every single person on the ship. Their souls were being delivered through the chains to the old Ōtsutsuki, who was savoring the flavors of all the young souls he was receiving. Seconds later all the chains vanished as he stood there absorbing all the life force and memories of his victims.
Now
The pilot carefully went into the medic deck, and what he saw shocked him. There stood that unknown old man that he and his team rescued was standing out of the healing tank and beside him was another dead body "D-D-Did you do this?" He held his gun at the pale being.
Nagatsu opened his eyes and looked at the newcomer, he blinked "OH! My apologies. I didn't notice you there. I was too busy savoring all the souls I devoured hehe." he gave the pilot a toothy grin like a predator. He now spoke the same language as others.
The pilot shook in fear "Stay where you are. Or I will shoot."
"Ohh, you think you can hurt me with that little toy?" The Ōtsutsuki got his answer when the pilot shot at him. The ray bullet hit him in his shoulder, piercing through it. "Son of a… " Nagatsu hissed in pain, but his wound was already healing up.
"This is the last warning, stay where you are, or the next one will go through your head" The pilot then proceeds to call for his team again. But that cost him as Nagatsu was already in front of him in a blink of an eye.
The Ōtsutsuki held the pilot by his throat and lifted him up to his eye level and did what he did to all the mechanics and threw the body away. "Hmm so the guy that I just killed was the pilot of the ship, he and his team rescued me huh."
"I have to return to my home. I might find something in the temple that will help me restore my strength. But with my current strength, I can't travel by warp drive." Nagatsu thought for a few minutes and made a plan. First, he would use his power and put the pilot's team under his control and make them his temporary minions. He could just go there by using this ship by himself, but he knew better not to do that. Eleven million years have passed since he got sealed. Who knows what changed all this time. He needed strong minions to guard him or fight for his behalf, till he restored himself to his former glory.
"I don't know where they are but I have to be very careful. I didn't get much information from their memories. They haven't even heard the name Ōtsutsuki before, I doubt they know about Kaguya and Naruto. I just hope some of my people survived and are waiting for me."
Nagatsu sensed five people entering the ship. Using his Byakugan he saw the pilot's team was coming. They already spotted some dead bodies and came inside very cautiously. "Such power they possess, especially those three with tails on them. What are they again… Ahh They are Saiyans. From the memories I just got, these Saiyan's ability to turn into giant monkeys reminds me of another species. As if they are the same… But how come those giant animals…. " Nagatsu shook his head "No time for that, I will get my answer soon enough."
He looked at his naked self. White flames surrounded him and slowly those flames materialized into hakama-like robes and pants. Satisfied with his new clothes he quickly got himself ready for their arrival " I have only one shot getting them at the same time. If not then I'm in trouble. I have to use Kotoamatsukami to mind control them, even though it will cost lots of chakra but it will be worth it."
He always favored Kotoamatsukami when it comes to mind control, anyone. This ability was very rare in his family, unfortunately, it doesn't work on those who have rinnegan. This ability allows the user to enter the mind of any individual within their field of view, and manipulate them by giving them false experiences, making it seem as if they were doing things of their own free will. It is regarded as an illusion of the highest caliber, due to the victim being entirely unaware that they are being manipulated. It was a perfect ability to control someone without turning them into mindless puppets.
Nagatsu waited for them, they were about to enter. His luck favored him as they all entered at the same time. "Gentlemen. Would you please look into my eyes, Kotoamatsukami." The Ōtsutsuki felt a huge amount of chakra getting drained in that process.
Turles and his team were frozen in their place. They don't know what just happened, one moment they were all staring at the being that they rescued and then suddenly their vision went dark for a moment.
After successfully casting the illusion on them Nagatsu could help not to laugh a little " Let's get down to business, shall we? Now tell me, have you ever heard of a Planet called ….."
Present time
"We are here." The Ōtsutsuki went ahead of the group. After crossing five different kinds of pocket dimensions they were now finally in front of a giant temple made out of what looked like blue crystal. Soon they all went inside. Like every temple they came across, it was too protected by seals. The temple was looking much bigger from inside for some reason.
Soon they all reached the back of the temple where Turles and everyone saw a well-crafted statue of a tree made out of black crystal. "A tree! Why would anyone build a statue of a tree? " Turles said
Nagatsu chuckles, "Hehe, Not just any tree young one. It's a statue of the divine tree. The greatest achievement of the Ōtsutsuki."
"What does it do?" The Saiyan asked. "I mean no disrespect but can you please explain to us what we really came here for."
"Well telling you all about my race and the divine tree. I will tell you a short version…. From ancient times as long as we, Ōtsutsuki were born with this Chakra along with all the animals on our planet. While the rest of the species in the universe was born with Ki.
Chakra is weaker in terms of power against Ki. So you could say we were a very weak species. And we didn't mind at all. We were an isolated race after all. We used chakra in everyday work, it made us Ōtsutsukis life much easier. You see what Chakra could do and Ki couldn't. That's the advantage we had over Ki users. Over time we Ōtsutsuki evolved more, our body changed, gained new abilities, we gained new kinds of eyes we called byakugan, and using Chakra became like a child's play to us.
Harnessing the natural energy, Controlling the elements of the world, and even controlling nature itself you name it, there was nothing that we couldn't do with our powers. Even though we had powers and became intelligent beings, We Ōtsutsuki lived a pretty primitive lifeform. But our evolution didn't stop there. When we found out that the Chakra was in nature too, we started to harness it to become stronger. Our final evolution came after that and we gained new kinds of eyes" He then showed them his rinnegan "This is the rinnegan, the most powerful part of your body. It gave us much much stronger abilities than we ever imagined. With it we were able to control life and death itself."
"Life and death! You mean you can bring others from the dead?" A shocked Turles asked. Others were too surprised to even talk.
"Yes, but at the cost of our own life force. We Ōtsutsuki were like gods living a mortal life."
"What's all that got to do with the divine tree?" The Beenz brother asked.
Nagatsu glared at them for interrupting him. "I was getting there, so stop interrupting me." The Beenz dou nodded head cowered behind Amond. "Where was I … ahh ..yes, With our power and special ability, we started to leave our planet and conquer other planets. Compared to other species we were more advanced and intelligent because of our power. Where others were still living in the stone age, we Ōtsutsukis were traveling from one pallet to another, from galaxy to galaxy to gain more power. Within just a few thousand years we were able to build ourselves a mighty empire. We discovered many things that we didn't know, met many new species, and many intelligent beings. And we conquered them all.
But, The more we expanded our empire, the stronger the opponent we faced. They had the same power as us but Stoeger than us in many ways. Over time we discovered that Chakra was just a product of cosmic microwave background radiation that we named Cosmic power, and it's all around us. The Natural Chakra or energy that planets possess is also a watered-down version of that cosmic power but much stronger than the chakra our body produces.
We wanted that power. Since we already knew how to harness Natural energy, all we needed was to figure out how to harness the raw cosmic power. And we were successful. We created seeds that grow into a giant tree that reaches up to the sky, later it would start harnessing the cosmic power along with the planet's natural energy for the next ten thousand years and bear a fruit that we can consume. Each seed was made out of exactly a thousand Ōtsutsuki merging their bodies and souls together. My people knew it was for the betterment of our race, so they happily sacrificed themselves for it.
The first seed was planted on a nearby habitable planet. And the power we got from the fruit of that tree was an unimaginable god-like power. Not only we gained god-like power, but the divine fruits also increased our life force as well. For millions of years we Ōtsutsuki planted seeds of the divine tree in many planets after planets and gained enough power to rule the spiral galaxy, the galaxy we are currently at, and every other galaxy our eyes fell upon."
"If you Ōtsutsukis were so god-like then, why did they vanish?"
"Even though we were able to attain god-like power, that doesn't mean we were invincible. We had many enemies. Certain gods didn't like us and always prevented us from reaching higher power. We did everything to defeat him, yet our power was nothing compared to his. But my race didn't fall because of that god, It was because of a certain traitor, who was very close to me, who was my own daughter, Kaguya." Nagatsu Ōtsutsuki told them with a heavy heart the rest of the story, how he was defeated and got sealed away and how his people were wiped out. Turles and his team were amazed after listening to how an ancient empire and a great powerful civilization were wiped out because of a traitor who was no other than the daughter of this old Ōtsutsuki.
"What about other Chakra users you told us? Were they as powerful as the Ōtsutsukis?" Turles asked.
Nagatsu shrugged his shoulders and said "We didn't actually care about them. Some of them perished by our hand and some of them were too primitive to be counted as a threat. But We still keep a watchful eye over them, in case they try something funny.
Enough of my story, let's get what we came here for." Nagatsu said and went closer to the crystal tree statue. With that, he went closer to the statue and touched it, before he could break it and get what he came here for, a hologram appeared before them. Nagatsu backed away from the statue. They all saw a pale man with a large horn on his forehead on the hologram.
"My lord, It's good to know that you are still alive and well." The pale man in the hologram said. Everyone could hear the sounds of explosions too.
"Lio, my most trusted man, and my chief scientist are you still alive?"
"But unfortunately I can't see you in person, because this is just a recording. You already figured out that I, along with all the Ōtsutsuki, are no more. As I speak, currently we are getting attacked by two unknown beings.
"Unknown?! He must be talking about Naruto then." Nagatsu said to himself.
We tried to fight back my lord, but even our strongest warriors were defeated very easily. With you gone, I am afraid this is the end for us. Everyone thinks that you are no more but I know better, you are still alive somewhere." Lio said.
"Lio, you were like a brother to me, no one understood me like you. It saddens me to hear that you are not amongst the living anymore. Oh, Lio!" Nagatsu knew he was just talking to a recorded hologram, but what can he do? "I just hope you and my people forgive me for not protecting you all."
Turles and his fellow Saiyans actually felt sorry for the old Ōtsutsuki. They could understand his pain of loss, as they also got their entire race wiped out by Frieza.
"My lord, please don't mourn for us. You must rejoice for the news you are about to hear." Nagatsu wiped tears from his eyes and listened to the hologram very carefully. "A few hundred years after your departure, we were able to successfully make the ultimate seed for the divine tree."
'Yes yes yes… just the news I wanted to hear' Nagatsu screamed in his mind.
"I will not waste your time and get to the point. We ran many simulations and we figured out this seed can do what we expected it to do in just a few hours. And you will be happy to know that the power you will gain from the divine fruit is ten times more than any other fruit you have ever consumed. But that's not all this super divine tree can make seeds of its own.
If you eat the divine fruit of this tree you will find a seed in the fruit. And that seed needs no more sacrifice of Ōtsutsuki. That seed can grow into a divine tree without any Ōtsutsuki to merge with it. We just created the ultimate seed that will give you the power to rule the whole universe, if possible make you stronger than the destroyer himself." a huge explosion occurred and Lio fell on his knees, "My lord I don't have much time, they are already here. I must go and keep this temple secure. The seed is inside the tree and Your blood and Chakra is the key to get the key ….."
Nagatsu again went to the crystal statue, dug his nails into his hand to draw out blood that he later spilled on the statue. Then he touched it and pushed some chakra into it. A small seal appeared below the statue "This seal and every seal on all other temples are made only to be unlocked by me and me only..." the old Ōtsutsuki said as the statute crumbled into many pieces and among those pieces, there was a large red tomoe shaped seed. The old Ōtsutsuki picked it up and looked at the group "I got what I came here for. Now let's go to Planet Elum. I want to confirm something before planting this seed."
"My database shows, there is no Plant called Elum that exists in this galaxy or the nearby galaxies," Cacao said "But given that you have been sealed for a million years, the planet you are talking about must be gone or it exists in another name."
"If you give us the location of that planet maybe we could find it." Turles asked the old Ōtsutsuki.
Nagatsu thought for a moment and tried to remember its location "It is located in the west quadrant of the milky way galaxy, edge of the Cygnus arms. It is inhabited by a species called Humans. They use chakra like me."
"Only one planet matches your description, and it is inhabited by humans and various other intelligent species. It is Planet earth located at sector 4032-Green-877. The people on that planet have low power levels and aren't technologically advanced either. They don't even know there is life outside of their planet."
'That's odd. Before my defeat, they were developing civilization. They were able to develop chakra-based tech and nonchakra based tech. At the rate, they were developing they should have been able to make their own empire throughout the galaxies…. Did something happen? ' Nagatsu thought about any possible reason why humans were being called undeveloped species even after all these years.
"Why Earth of all the planets?" Turles asked "There are lots of habitable pallets in this galaxy. it will take at least a month to reach there.."
Nagatsu shook his head "I know there are other planets that have an even richer environment and natural energy but I want to go to Elum, just to make sure what happened to Kaguya. Ever since I woke up, I found out that my whole race is no more and no one knows about it. Now the Ōtsutsuki only exists in myths. My traitor's daughter should be there. I want to know what happened and the only way to know is to go there and see it for myself."
"If your daughter is there, won't she catch us?" Turtles asked.
"Oh! You don't have to worry your silly little head about that. Just take me to earth and I will take care of the rest." Nagatsu then opened a portal "Now come, we have wasted enough time talking here." Everyone nodded and went into the portal 'I am coming for you, my dear Kaguya." The old Ōtsutsuki thought with a wicked grin on his face.
Finished
A/N: First of all sorry if you guys didn't like this chapter. First time writing something original, I guess. I wrote this chapter before my exams. But when I read It, I had to rewrite it three times. And I did it while I was out of my mind. After my results came, which was better than the last. My Dad got corona. As you can already guess it spread from him to all the members of my family, including me. Worst of all, I am the only kid who hasn't even got the vaccine yet. My family is alright now. They were all vaccinated before getting infected and after ten days of medication, they were again tested and got negative...Yeah for that.
Me on the other hand ...oh boy... How should I say it... I went through hell...lost my smell, test, lots of extreme headaches, high fever, and chest pain... felt like the weakest human in the world. Currently, I am good though. my medication is over. just taking vitamin pills. But my mind... I am not sure it healed yet. I can't think straight or concentrate for long. I have to take long breaks just to do any small task. So pray for me to get well I guess...
Sooo What do you guys think of this chapter…..Lots of plot holes. But don't worry. It's connected to my upcoming story, which is delayed because of you know why.
Anyway thanks for reading….
