The New Super Saiyajin

PROLOGUE

The Genki Dama did not kill Turles, although he sometimes wished it had.
He rose out of the ground in the center of a large crater. The spot where
the Tree of Might once stood. The pain he felt was undescribable. His body
was covered in burns and cuts.

He didn't even manage to fully stand. He collapsed and fell face-first into
the burn crater, and didn't even make an effort to move. At first all he
thought about was the immense pain, but then an image of his younger cousin,
Kakarot, appeared before him. How could such a weakling defeat him?

Even after eating the fruit from the Tree of Might Kakarot defeated him. Turles
couldn't understand it. Where had his power come from? Turles would have to find
out. Once healed he would be unstoppable. He wouldn't even need the fruit.

Turles grinned and fainted. He would lay there for three more days.

***

Turles awakened with the same wounds and pain, but this time he slowly stood
onto his feet without falling. Several bones in his body had been broken. He
staggered as he limped away from the crater to find some place to heal.

He limped all day before finding one. An abandoned cave. He went inside,
removed his shattered armor, and sat with his back against the stone wall. He
closed his eyes and thought of the previous battle. The first battle he had
ever lost. How Kakarot had managed to get up even after the beating Turles had
given him.

He would make Kakarot regret what he had done. Turles would have his revenge,
even if it meant taking Kakarot down with him. He wouldn't stay on this planet,
that would be foolish. If they found him they would surely finish him off. All
he needed was to heal enough to be able to fly. It would be easier to reach his
ship that way.

The large ship was equipped with a regeneration tank, and it would give him more
time to prepare for the next battle being in space then staying on Earth. Turles
sat on the cave floor an entire week, and every minute he was either thinking of
the pain or of Kakarot defeating him. When he finally had the strength to fly he
found his ship and left the planet where he had been defeated for the first time.
