A/N: Before I introduce Turles into the story I wanted to do the backstory to the tree of might and why he is working for Frieza show that you all understand. Also this will be my first special chapter wooo !.


Special Chapter: The Origins of the Tree Of Might.

Dr Ranchi sat alone at his desk vials of liquids bubbling away in front of him as he scribbled on a piece of paper in front of him. So far all his plans to help the Truffles armed forces with their defence against the attacking Sayian army had proven fruitless so much so that he had even been starting to plan for the worst case scenario if the Truffle race was to become Instinet then Ranchi would see to it that they would at least have their revenge!

But right at this very moment the doctor was not working on his pet projected he was working on a new more flamboyant idea. The Sayian's where powerful and might beasts so strong in fact that most of the Truffles weapons did little more than sting them. That was of course if a Truffle solider could actually manage to be quick enough to get a shot on the Sayian's.

No the power level difference between the two races were too great to comprehend the odds needed to be even. Dr Ranchi was use to harvesting the natural energy of the planet the laver pits the waterfalls the powerful winds that swept through the skies everything could be used to generate electrical power.

The good doctor believed if these elements could be changed into electricity then they could also be changed into Ki. Ki the energy that ran so natural though a Sayian's body yet was so difficult for the Truffles to master, they had tried power suits armour and weapons to harness the Ki within a person to force it out of their body. But it hadn't worked the suits I've greatly tired the user or just simple killed them.

No. Nature had gifted the Sayian's their Ki controlling abilities so maybe the answer of increasing ones strength lied in nature. That was of course Ranchi's radical theory anyway and that was why he had five planet seeds in front of him at that very moment.

Tree's drew nutrition from the Earth in order to grow tall and strong before they then channel the nutrition into its fruits. Doctor Ranchi theory was if he could use the same concept of drawing nutrition from the Earth but instead draw Ki from the whole planet then it would natural be channelled into the fruit which would only have to be eaten for the user to gain its strength.

That was the theory anyway Dr Ranchi wasn't even sure it would be possible to create such a plant let alone control it. But desperate times had called for desperate measures and the doctor carried on with his research despite the risks he knew it could involve.

Pressing a button next to his desks while carefully placing the five seeds into a little bag Dr Ranchi talked into the microphone next to him which was connected to his assistants lab.

"The seed's our ready for our first test, The Tree maybe our only hope against the Sayian's please prepare the necessary tolls and soil so we may plant the seeds perfectly."

Clicking off the button Dr Ranchi took another look at his bag of seeds and then turned out of the room not waiting for his assistant to respond.

After five attempts of creating the Tree and a whole year of tireless research and experimentation Doctor Ranchi had finally been able to create the perfect Tree which not only drew Ki from the Planet turning the energy into fruit form but the good Doctor was also able to control just how much energy was absorbed by the tree by a computer hidden deep beneath the capital city which constantly monitored the flow of energy which flowed into the Tree it also had the capability to release a poison which would kill it if it started to absorb dangerous amounts of energy.

As if it knew that absorbing too much energy from the Planet would lead to its demise the Tree which Dr Ranchi fondly named TTOH (The Tree Of Hope) never took anywhere near the amount of energy it was capable of story however the good Doctor found that with each passing week it took more and more energy as if it was testing its limits to see just how much it could get away with as if it could think for itself.

Patting the long roots that dug into the fertilized soil beneath his shoes Dr Ranchi gave a happy sigh.

"Thank you my friend for giving us a chance against the Sayian's" The Doctor cried happily.

Indeed the benefits of eating the Trees fruit were instantaneous, solders were hitting their mark with the weapons were as before they couldn't so of the stronger Truffles gaining so much power that they could even go hand to hand one on one with most of the attacking Sayian's.

When the tide was turning into the Truffles favour and victory was everything but assured. The Sayian's conjured up yet another trick. By the light of the full moon an event so rare on the Planet that Dr Ranchi himself despite his old age had never seen it changed the Sayian's.

The blitz waves sent from the moon caused a genetic mutation in their tails which transformed them into giant apes. These great apes quickly laid waste to the Truffles despite their increases strength and Dr Ranchi died next to his machine Hachiyack.

The Tree of Hope survived the attack and by some minor miracle the laboratory underneath it which prevented it from absorbing too much energy from the planet stayed intact. Meaning the Sayian race was not wiped out.

~DBAT~

Three months after the battle the tree was discovered by a third class Sayian named Leman who having been starving for day's due to the lack of food which wasn't enough to go around and the fact he was not nearly strong enough to fight others of his race for their kill's resulted in him being in a state of near death.

Hungrily he gobbled down one piece of fruit from the Tree and the effects were immediate. His muscles budged out bigger and stronger rippling with Ki almost tripling his strength. His body so old and past its prime grew younger back to the days when he was at the peak of his fighting powers. These were the two gifts the Tree presented to those who ate its fruit, permanent increases in strength and a temporary return of youth for the user which lasted one year (Though this could be continued with constant consumption of the Tree's fruit).

Though Leman was indeed a weak Sayian before his first real taste of power gifted to him by the magical fruit, like most of his race was incredible prideful and as such having been wrong by King Vegeta in the past he sort out to de-throne the King.

The battle between Vegeta and Leman was a long bloody affaire however the King was still naturally stronger this factor combined with his superior skill resulted in his victory over Leman. However instead of killing the Third class for his treason the King promised to forgive the beaten Sayian if he told him how he gained such strength so quickly.

With no other choice other than death Leman decided to live in order to extracted his revenge at a later date. So the foolish Third class Sayian who had only but a taste of real power showed the King the Tree. Vegeta the ruthless leader he was instantly killed Leman once he had discovered how he had gained his great strength.

The King prideful of the fact his power was gained naturally chose not to eat the fruit of the Tree instead he decided to destroy it. Conjuring up the most powerful attack he could muster King Vegeta fired at the Tree, However his attack failed the Tree's powerful roots held true clinging on to the earth around it.

The King who had come alone was left with two choices, one was to gather his most powerful warriors and get them to help him destroy the Tree which was risky as they could take the opportunity to eat one of its fruits before making a claim to the throne or leave the Tree as it was and keep its secrets hidden from the rest of his race.

King Vegeta decided that the latter plan would prove to be the safer and thus cunning as he was he declared that the Tree was sacred. Claiming its fruit to be food for only the legendary Super Sayian and if a normal regular Sayian would to eat the fruit it would plung the race into a thousand years of darkness and their Super Sayian heritage would be lost forever.

It took a while but after several months a religion was established the Tree became an icon of the Sayian's strength and power with weaker members of the race going so far as to pray at the feet of the Tree for strength and might. Hence the name the Tree of Might was born.

Pleased that his plan was working but still nerves that his deception might be discovered if a Sayian grew bold enough to try a piece of Fruit Vegeta ordered that a wall be built around the Tree of might and that guards protect it so that "Only the strong and worthy could seek an audience with the Tree of might"

This safeguard worked even past the time when the Sayian's joined the trade planet organisation with Frieza allowing the Sayian's to keep their pesky religion because it amused him going even as far to pay the Tree a visit. But all this changed four years later back when the now King Vegeta (Cannon Vegeta) was a Prince and only Three years old…

~DBZ~

"Get up you worm!" The harsh voice yelled out over the humming of the training's room gravity machine.

In the middle of the room a burnt and bruised figure stirred. Slowly but surely a young twenty two year old Turles pushed himself up with his aching arms which shook with the effort. His vision was blurred his back was sore and wet with blood due to the deep cuts in his skin.

"I said get up!" The voice roared again before the roar of a Ki ball being followed filled Turles ear drums.

Despite the pain the young dark skinned Sayian's instincts kicked in as such Turles rolled away from the blast just in time. Panting sweat pouring off his face Turles got back up into his feet.

Swish! His attacker appeared before him a tall well-built Sayian with small spiky black hair and a beard to match; Turles father.

Before Turles could react before he could even register his father's sudden appearance a fist shot out and connected against his nose throwing him backwards as blood sprouted from his nose. A split second later he cried out in pain as his ribs cracked under the force of his father's boot.

"Father please" Turles cried out tears dripping down his eyes despite how much he tried to stop them he knew it would only angrier his father further. "You're going to kill me!"

His father a Sayian by the name of Kewi grunted before taking his foot off Turles battered frame. The smaller and younger Sayian let out a gasp of relief. Crack! Kewi's boot connected with Turles right side sending the Sayian crashing into the wall opposite before he rebounded off back onto the cold floor.

"I am not going to kill you" Kewi said coldly over the sound of Turles screams of pain. "I am going to sign you up for purge duty with the third division maybe that will toughen you up"

"Father please" Turles cried again somehow despite the pain his body his body was going though he had manage to get back onto his knees such was his despair at the prospect of being forced to join them! The third class rodents of the Sayian army. " The test was wrong General Nappa was wrong"

Kewi gave Turles a dangerous look which told his son immediately if he didn't shut up his father would kill him there on the spot. The look past however and was replaced by a look similar to repulse and pity.

"Our family has always been elite your older brothers our both elite. You too were born with a power levels higher than both of them put together…. Me and your mother thought you had so much potential we thought that you would make us proud. That you could be the one who would finally get into the royal guards! Taking this family one step closer to power and glory! But no you failed us all… you are no son of mine" Kewi voiced was laced with venom but it didn't rise over a whisper.

With that Kewi turned and left the room turning his back on his son … his disappointment forever.

The lights of the room switched off as the humming of the gravity room returned to normal. In the darkness Turles gave a small sigh of relief as the restraints of the gravity left his body before crawling towards the other body in the room.

His mother body lay still on the floor. Her once beautiful face was now mutilated and broken due to her husband's vicious attack which Turles couldn't prevent due to his lack of strength. Her hair spiky like her youngest son's had been torn out in shreds. Her skin once dark and dirty like her son's was now pink due to the blood that had belched it. Her tail once long and elegant was now in the other Connor of the room.

"I'm so sorry" Turles said quietly as he gasped his mother's cold hands. "I'm sorry I could protect you from him"

Turles had been close to his mother closer than what was considered natural for a Sayian male. Kewi had known this and tortured his wife in front of his son in the hope it would trigger him to have a power outburst an event that happened when a Sayian with deep hidden strength released his fall potential once he became angry.

This tactic didn't work however an enrage Turles had fruitlessly attacked his father and was beaten down easily. When the young Sayian had called for help no one had come but Turles thought he heard muffle laughter coming from behind the class window no doubt his father's crew had been watching.

His mother had been killed out of his father's spite towards him. His father's friends had laughed aloud when his father had beaten him and his mother because they despised the weak and the reason for that was because of the system that ranked the strong above the weak.

Turles hated the system that ranked power above all else hated the fact he didn't have the power to change any of it but most of all he hated the Sayian race for taking his mother away.

"The Tree" The soft weak voice of his mother.

Turles was startled he thought his mother had been long dead but the Sayian suddenly relished that he hadn't cheeked her pulse.

"Take this to the Tree"

A small crest was clutched in Turles mother's hands and as the male Sayian took it his mother's head flopped back this time she was not coming back.

Shaking new tears flowing down his face Turles looked down at the crest his mother had given to him and quickly relished what it was. It was a token a gift to see the Tree of Might to seek an audience which it's holy roots and request a wish from it.

The things a Sayian had to achieve to get a crest was almost impossible to imagine but the fact that his mother had gotten one was amazing the fact that had gifted such a precious thing to Turles was nothing special. Just a mother trying to help her son who she had loved.

Turles drew an intake of breath quickly wiping the tears, sweat and blood from his face. Though his injuries still burned with pain the Sayian stood up with doggy determination. Clutching his broken ribs Turles limped out of the room leaving his mother's body behind.

~DBAT~

Getting in to the Tree of might sanctuary had been hard for Turles the guards had original laughed him off however they had to respect the fact he had a crest but they still wouldn't allow him to see the Tree in the state he was in.

So three hours later after his mother passed away Turles stood alone before the Tree of Might in clean Sayian armour which gleamed in the light of the stars above the skies which also shone down on the Tree giving it a mystical glow.

All the pain and loss Turles felt other his mother death was replaced with awe as he looked up at the Tree that had been read to him in fairy tail's never in the Sayian's wildest dreams did he believe he would finally be able to stand before it and ask it for a wish not that he thought that it would be granted. It just gave Turles hope and hope was all he had at that moment.

"Oh holy Tree of Might" Turles began bowing low on one knee hand on his heart. "Your worshippers ... my fellow Sayian's are not what they seem they are tyrants who abuse the power you give them! I beg you give me the power to vanquish them to bring vengeance on my father and those who have wrong me and I will do your bidding as your servant!"

The young Sayian knew the guards would have heard him and were currently I've laughing at him or about to kill him but at that moment Turles didn't care. This moment was his last hope to change things to shape the Sayian race the way he wanted it. To do away with the old system of power and make everyone equal.

Turles eyes were locked on to the Tree quietly waiting to see if the Tree of might would grant his wish. He only had seconds before he had to leave and already the guards were coming to collect him.. or kill him for his traitors words.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew on the Tree's long branches dislodging one of the fruit of the Tree which fell down onto the hard ground before it rolled to Turles feet. The Sayian gasped looking at the spiky fruit with wide eyes.

"Was this a sigh? Was he supposed to eat the fruit?" Turles had heard the stories about what would happen if a Sayian ate the fruit but he didn't care about the risks he was convinced it was a sign.

Quickly and skilfully the Sayian hid the fruit beneath his armour before leaving the holy ground. Finding a ship Turles fled to an off world planet before he risked taking a bite of the fruit the effect was instant.

The Sayian's power grew from a mere five hundred units to a power of three thousand substantial increases. But it wasn't only Turles power that change it also warped his attitude. The single bite turned him from a unusual kind hearted Sayian to a cruel power hungry one in an instant.

Looking down at the fruit with cold eyes Turles saw five seeds protruding from them. Curiously the Sayian fired a Ki blast into the ground and planted one.

This was the start of Turles the leader of the Crusher Corp's story but it was nowhere near the end ….


So I hope you guys like my first dab at a back story and my first attempt at a special. I know it needs improving in area and I would like your help with pointing them out but I hope it is still a good read :o). What I wanted to do here was kind of give Turles the opposite story of Goku. A Sayian born from an elite family who achieved nothing but had good intentions for the world and who aimed to achieve good at first but later on goes down the path of evil in order to achieve his goals.

We are near 100 reviews now and I would like to thank you all my loyal reader for your continued support I hope I return this with quality of my work but I am still learning and hope to improve further.

Now for a little Q&A.

Q:Is Nappa stronger than Cannon.

A: Yes he is everyone in Frieza army is stronger than in Cannon due to the fact he focuses so much more on training than in Cannon due to the fact he wants to defeat the Southern Ruler who is still hanging over him. Now Nappa I put at about 40,000 so he's substantial more powerful than Bardock at the beginning.
