Author's Note:
Sorry for missing the designated time for my posts, again. I'ma make it up by just writing as much as possible this week. Let's just get right into it
The room was silent for a second while everyone processed this new information, except Boksa, who leaned forward in curiosity. This wasn't news to him, but he never got the answer to what exactly I was. The rest came out of their stupor in varying ways.
"I knew it!" Bulma shouted
"..." That was Panchy, she just sat there smiling.
"What!?" Ranfan screamed
Once they had all, excuse me, once Bulma and Ranfan shut up about it, we were on to business.
"Yes, I am not human. I am in fact what you would call an 'Alien.' I was born on Planet Vegeta, home to the warrior race known as Saiyans." I explained.
"But then, why are you here?" Ranfan asked.
"And does that mean when you met your family, you met your Saiyan parents?" Bulma continued.
"Yes to your question Bulma, Ranfan however, your question is a much more… somber story." I started, "When I was born, the planet was already in grave danger. You see, there is a tyrant named Frieza who rules over a good chunk of the universe. This included my home planet. My father, Bardock, had discovered Frieza's plan to eradicate the Saiyans by having them all recalled back to Vegeta. Then he would destroy it, with a flick of his finger. Bardock knew that this was the end, but decided if he was going out he could at least save his son. He sent me off-planet, then tried to challenge Frieza, he failed." Silence sat in as I thought about what to say next. "This is how I landed on Earth, Bardock has chosen this planet specifically because it was on the outskirts of Frieza's Empire and had an average battle power of five. Making it the perfect planet for me to live on without the fear that Frieza would kill one of his sons."
"One of?" Bulma asked.
"Yes, one of, I have a brother. His name is apparently Raditz and he was with the Prince of the Saiyans, Vegeta, and Counselor Nappa. They are the only other Saiyan survivors." I turn around, "Now that it's out of the way, we can move on to more important things."
"What could be more important than finding out you're an alien?" Ranfan asks.
"Knowing that, eventually, Raditz will try to find me." The room was silent once again, "I will let the news sink in for a bit. I'm going to go train." I said as I walked off.
I went to the backyard and opened my ID again. Starting up the Boss Rush and clearing the Z Saga villains quickly and easily and getting into the main battle of the Namek Saga. I remember getting a perk for defeating all of the Z Saga the first time. It was called Oozaru Control and basically allowed me to have minor control over myself in that form. Meaning I could at most, pick a target and then everything fades until that target is dead.
Now though, I really want whatever perk I will get for beating Frieza, but I know that won't be for a while since Goku barely did anything with a power level of three million while I am still at Ginyu levels. Thankfully, these guys still give me a ton of experience per run. I think I'll just do a few runs and see if I can't get a boost from it. I'll get to level fifty, I think that'll be enough.
Level forty-nine, and one battle away from fifty. I look to the corner of my vision.
HP: 570/17,720 -187/s
Ki: 6,280/21,264
Sta: 3,490/7,126 -50/s
Power Level: (354,871) X10 = 3,548,710
I really need to start using my other energy sources, I always seem to rely on Ki. I looked back to newly named Xeno-Frieza, the fucking disgusting creature he is, and grit my teeth.
3rd Form Frieza
Lvl: 42
Health: 460/20000
Power Level: 3,500,000
I could finally kill this form, but I was nowhere near beating fifty-percent Final Form Frieza. It frustrated me to no end. Facing the Xenomorph-Wannabe lying bloodied on the ground, I let loose a newly acquired skill, Big Bang Attack. He was disintegrated in an instant.
You have gained a level!
You are now at Level 50!
You have unlocked a new feature!
[Racial Adaptation]
Due to gaining enough power, you are now able to reach through universes to gain racial gene samples. These can be used in any way you might be able to. The main use of this has been fused with the unique skill [Gene-Splicer].
[Gene-Splicer]
You can now splice other races' genetics into your own.
0% chance to gain racial weaknesses. Decreases at higher levels.
50% chance to gain racial oddities. Example: Getting legendary Super Saiyan genetics when splicing Saiyan DNA. Can choose to disable this chance during use.
"... Huh, neat." I said as I let Kaioken drop.
For recovering from a low HP amount, you have gained a Zenkai Boost!
Due to close Power Level deduction and HP deviation from max, taking into account level difference, You gain +1000 to all stats!
"Holy Shit!" I yelled out as I felt my power swell up and my muscles grow and define multiple times. I looked down to my hand and flexed it, feeling the amount of strength I gained in one moment I mumbled out a quiet, "Status."

Again, I seem to have gone too far this time… Eh, whatever, It just means I'm much more powerful now than anything up till Final Form Frieza now. I guess I should at least use the new feature once since I never got to use Gene-Splicer before.
[Racial Adaptation] activated!
Please state a race from anywhere in the Multiverse.
Oh shit, that's right, anywhere… Let's stick with the world I'm in right now for the time being.
"Arcosian?"
Arcosian selected
[Arcosian Race]
You gai-
I went ahead and dismissed the page, I already know what this would do. I most likely gained some passive and a tiny power boost.
"Though now I really need to figure out how to unlock Super Saiyan-"
Notice:
You are now able to unlock Transformations due to your level of power and growth, these must be purchased with Perk Points, however, they will be more expensive than the regular items in the Perk Shop and have Requirements. To show these items, just say or think "Transformation Shop."
… "Transformation Shop?" I ask aloud, opening an entirely new Window.
Transformation Shop
Basic Saiyan Set
[Super Saiyan]
Lvl: 1 (0/100)
The form spoke of in legends among the Saiyans. It is said that a Super Saiyan may appear once every 1,000 years, a being of immense power, a form awakened by fury.
X50 Multiplier
Gain Debuff [Uncontrolled Fury], may cause you to lash out at allies but not outright attack. It makes you keen to fight and may mess with your personality while active.
Requirements:
Power Level: 300,000+ Fulfilled
A Trigger. Something to set you off. (Must be bought first to fulfill this)
Cost: 5 Perk Points -
'That is a lot of information to dump on me like that. I'll still take it though.' I thought as a pretty long window appeared, immediately bought Super Saiyan, not looking at anything else, before switching over to the Perk Menu to see what's new.
[Perk Shop]
You can now Pass on Perks that you don't want or need to free up the slot to generate a new Perk.
[Omae Wa Mou, Shindeiru](½)
Quadruple your Str stat for one Strike move, if it doesn't kill your enemy your Str stat will drop to one third for a full minute.
Costs: 5 Perk Points
[Saiyan Biology]
You are a member of a proud warrior race of the Saiyans, meaning that you gain power much faster than any other race out there. Except maybe the Arcosians.
Experience requirement decreased by 10%
Cost 2 Perk Points
[Age Matters]
Age matters too you know, tack age onto your level when calculating battle power for a much better result. This affects you accordingly as well.
Also adds a year onto your age. Grows you accordingly.
Cost: 8 Perk Points
Hmm, the first one seems pretty useless. Guess I'll just pass on the obvious reference since it has a crushing debuff if I miss. I'll take Age Matters and Saiyan Biology too I guess.
With that done, I think it's time to head back to the Gravity Chamber since I need to increase my stats faster. I really want whatever I'm gonna get from defeating Frieza. Walking to the back door, I heard a scream from Bulma somewhere in the house. I immediately teleport inside, ready for anything, just in case.
My eyes widen as I take in the scene. There are three aliens in suits similar to the Frieza Force, but looking a bit older, and they all have less techy Ki Blast Guns than I can remember from the show. In the grasp of one of them is Ranfan, with one of the Ki Guns to her head, while Bulma is at gunpoint standing at the other side of the room. Panchy is still seated with a gun to her head as well.
Looking around I try to find Boksa, before spotting him. Laying on the floor on the other side of the table, he isn't moving.
Rage Bar Unlocked.
Rage: 30%
He isn't moving and there are tears in Panchy's eyes.
Rage: 58%
I can't sense his Ki
Rage: 83%
There's a hole in his back, I can see the white of the floor through it as it shows the burn marks on the sides of the hole those pieces of filth put through him.
Rage: 100%
You have entered a state of Uncontrolled Rage.
"You Bastards… I'll kill you all!"
Pov Change: Bulma
It was supposed to be a nice day, we were all just sitting down in the kitchen, talking about the news we had gotten. We had even moved on to other subjects while we waited for Hikari to come back. Then it all went to hell.
We heard a bang and daddy stood up to check what it was. I saw someone appear behind him and before I could speak we all heard a blast. I watched as they shot a hole through daddy's chest as his eyes widened, then he fell to the ground.
I screamed and Ranfan was grabbed out of her seat. The weird-looking alien guy that had just killed daddy put his gun to my head and told me to shut up in a gruff voice. One of the others put one to mom's head too.
That was when Hikari popped in out of nowhere, immediately looking around. Taking in all of what was happening before he froze. I knew where he was looking. Hikari and Daddy had grown to like and respect each other and often talked about a multitude of things all the time.
Hikari's eyes widened as he looked at him, and he began to shake. His eyes flashing turquoise as his hair stood up, spiking and flashing a golden color. I could practically taste the power he was putting out… and rage. Hikari didn't look away from Daddy's body as he spoke.
"You bastards… I'll kill you all!" He screamed out as the room around us seemed to explode, sending us all flying.
Landing on my side, I immediately looked around to see if Ranfan and Mom were ok. Finding them both to be in the same boat as myself. Then I felt something wet drop onto my head. The alien was behind me, with a gun to my head again. He wasn't firing though, and it took me a moment to notice. A hand was sticking out through his chest in a claw position.
"You think I'd let you kill any more of my loved ones? Think again bitch." I heard Hikari from behind the alien. He threw the guy up into the sky. "Taste my unbridled fury!" He yelled "Big Bang Kamehameha!" An enormous beam of energy exploded from his being and completely eclipsed the alien, before dissipating after a few seconds.
Hikari looked down at me, "Stay here." This was not a question, it was an absolute order.
I looked over as a scream rang out. Mom was in the grasp of win if the aliens with one of those guns to her head. "You won't take a step towards us if you know what's good for this female here!" It yelled in a creepy voice. Then it gained a smirk. "In fact, you're gonna watch us for a bit," It said as it licked Mom's cheek. 'No… not that, anything but that!' I thought as I realized his intent.
A sudden burst of energy almost blew me away as I looked to see Hikari even angrier. All he did was raise his hand and pointed at the alien. "You will suffer a fate worse than Hell itself for that." Before pointing to the other alien and sending a small beam at him. Piercing right through its head.
The alien near my mom seemed to lose his bravado quickly, before gaining it back. "He didn't have a hostage, I do. You won't do a thing as long as this female is in my grasp!" He yelled out.
His other hand began to trail down. Before it could even get to her chest Panchy was beside me and the alien was on the ground. Hikari was right beside him, glaring down at the freak. "Get up. I know you aren't dead you pathetic piece of shit." a few moments, nothing. "Grrr. Fine then, I'll just do this the hard way."
Hikari picked up the alien, who immediately began struggling since playing dead didn't work. He tossed him up before the alien seemed to start taking hits, even though Hikari wasn't moving at all. I strained my senses, thinking about the small amount of training I got in sensing Ki from Hikari. Then I saw it, a second person seemingly connected to Hikari pummeling the alien. "Don't kill him Stardust, he needs to suffer," Hikari stated.
Stardust, as Hikari called him, stopped raining punches and caught the alien by the head. "Your death could have been quick, you know?" A red beam pierced the alien's left shin as it screamed out in pain. "You just had to go that extra step didn't you?" Another, to his left wrist. "To threaten Panchy like that." Another, his right thigh "Someone I care for, threatened with rape!?" seven beams right after another in quick succession to different critical spots on his body. "You really should have stopped while you were ahead after that." More beams, "but no, then you had to actually try to go through with it." I looked away after that, this was too brutal. Hikari was never like this before. What was going on? "How do you feel now?" I heard Hikari ask.
Then there was a massive light, I turned back to see the alien was gone. Hikari was still standing there, as his hair dropped back down and back to its black color, his eyes turning back with it. Then he looked to me, his eyes meeting mine.
"I… I'm sorry." He said, before turning around. "I'll go get the Dragon Balls…" He walked away.
It's been a week and Hikari's not back yet, Daddy was alive again though. We had put him in a room on a bed for the time being as we waited for Hikari to come back with the Dragon Balls. Then on the second day after the aliens happened, he walked into the kitchen and poured himself some cereal like it was just another day. After the reunion, which involved many tears, we all figured that Hikari must have used the Dragon Balls away from Capsule Corp. for some reason.
We quickly realized this wasn't the case when he didn't pop back in after a day. I couldn't sense him and we didn't have any other way of contacting him either. At this point, I can't tell if he's ever coming back…
Pov Change: Hikari
I was in an ID again today, It's been four days since I revived Boksa, and a week since I left Capsule Corp. too. I just didn't know what to do. I had let my rage control me, I even took some kind of… sadistic pleasure in torturing that Frieza Force soldier. Yes, I had a right to be angry, and to hate those soldiers for what they did. I didn't have to torture though, I didn't need to act like Frieza towards them or anyone for that matter.
Then there was the new Rage Bar, If it gets to one hundred percent, I gain the Debuff called Uncontrolled Rage. It basically makes me act out against whoever caused it to fill in a sadistic manner. Influencing me in a way I didn't think the game could. I know I'm not "Good" in any sense. I'm not here to save the world and I know that I just want to grow in power as much as possible.
I just wish Bulma didn't have to see me act that way… I should go back, rationally I know Bulma would understand and accept it. At the same time, I can't help but fear she might be afraid of me for what she had seen.
"... I don't know what to do!" I yelled out as I pushed out my power. Destroying everything around me in this empty world.
… "Maybe… Menu"

"Hikari!" I heard Bulma's voice in my head. "Come to bed." "Hikari…" "You don't need to sleep on the couch." "Hikari." "You can cook?" "I would have gone with you!" "Hikariiii!" "What about me?"
I can't… I can't just leave and avoid the problem. I care too much about her now to just give up and leave. "ID Escape" The world cracks and breaks away. Ki sensing picks up everyone on Earth in an instant, but one stands out. The only person I spent a significant amount of time and memorized their Ki Signature. Bulma.
I put two fingers to my head, "I'll face it head-on."
Author's Note
Don't you just love Cliffhangers?
I would like to remind you, for no specific reason, that you may not see certain things if the Pov we are on doesn't see it. Again, no specific reason, just a reminder.
It's also occurred to me that I never described what Hikari's Mangekyou looks like… Unfortunately, there is no way I could describe the way what I'm thinking of looks without it taking an hour. That's why I have a link to a picture of what I feel it looks like. Unfortunately again, I can't paste that link here. I do have it my discord though, so if you really want to see it, join the discord. You can find the backend of an invite in an earlier chapter's ending Author's Note like this one.
Edit: Didn't realize that the bolds didn't transfer.
