DISCLAIMER: OH MY GOD I SO WISH I HAD AKIRA TORYAMA'S TALENT TO CREATE A
MASTERPIECE LIKE DBZ! However, i am simply a lowly american writer who
wants to... erm... expound on his work. Many characters and DRAGONBALL Z
from which they were taken are his and Funimation's copyrights.
Note: I wrote this in 7th grade, so I may rewrite it using my more mature writing style, but if you review (and please review) notify me as to wether or not i should redo it. Just take this for what it is, and dont obsess on any discretions with DBZ. Please excuse the short chapters.

A Chapter Story by The Weasel
Chapter 4: The Khalai Crystal
Edmund walked to his "thinking bench". A particular bench in a particular park, not far from his former home. As he walked into this park, it was the second bench. He sat down, wondering what to do. As he looked up into the sky, Edmund noticed a sort of sparkling, as this caught his eye, it grew larger, and larger, at first it had looked like a satellite, streaking across the sky, now it looked like an airplane, a hexagon of green lights. No, it wasn't that, either. He had no idea what it was, and it was coming down toward him. Aliens! Oh great. What do they want? He stood up as a whirring noise came from the ship as it descended it now completely stopped right in front of him. It was monumental in size, about 100 yards in diameter, and 20 yards high. Out from the spot in front of him opened and dropped down to form a ramp to the ground. Curious, Edmund walked up to it and looked at it. The ship was made of metal he had never seen in his entire life, it was beautiful platinum or silver colored, smooth, and cool. "Come in Edmund, don't be afraid." Said a voice inside. Edmund didn't question; he just walked in, figuring Well, I have nowhere else to go and nothing to lose. Hey, how do they know my name? Then the voice said "We know more about you than just your name. In fact we know more about you than you do." The hatch closed and the lights came on, to reveal three creatures of various color, the one on his left was light silver, (he could somehow tell she was female). As his eyes glided right, the one in the middle was a male, olive green, and the last was a sort of light purple or blue, another male their skin was scaly and reptilian in appearance. They were humanlike in shape, and they wore long robes. They introduced themselves as Ren-Tin (Green), Si-D'jet (Blue), and Khi (silver) "Has anyone ever told you how special you are?" said the female one,
"Not besides my mother."
"Yes, we know how abused you have been." Said Ren-Tin, "Believe it or not, we can help you."
"How is that?" asked Edmund.
Si-D'jet answered "I will explain. Do you realize that we speak without vocal organs?"
"Yeah, I figured you were telepathic or something. I didn't say anything about it though."
"You are very intelligent, and very right. We are psychic and very powerful. Our whole race is. Of course you need me to explain. Within your brain neurons, there are small particles called Neuropyrites. If these are arranged in a perfect line, the possessor will have completely unlimited psychic power. Even ours are not perfectly lined up. As a matter of fact, in our whole 68 million years of looking for the perfect psychic being, we have found only one whose are perfectly lined up. He is you. We can help you get revenge, and create our perfect warrior. There is one catch. We have to implant this in between the lobes of your brain, in your forehead."
He withdrew a seven-inch crystal from his robes. It was an inch tall in the front, and a half-inch wide, and it was diamond shaped no matter which side you looked at it. At the edges it looked sharper than a knife, especially at the point on the longer end. It was a beautiful shade of purple. Edmund grimaced.
"That, in my head? But won't it hurt?"
"Not the implanting part, you will be asleep." Khi responded.
"We will also have to charge the crystal with about 500,000 power units to get it started. That part will hurt. This way when you walk out you will have a Ki of about 700,000, a level 1 Psychic."
"Where did the other 200,000 come from?"
The female replied, "You have been storing up energy in the form of anger, fear, and sorrow. In the last hour you have gained over 150,000 Ki after you realized your parents had died. Along with the power benefit, you will gain basic combat skills, and several methods of concentrating your power. We will explain later."
"So, do you accept?" Asked Ren-Tin.
"I guess I have nothing to lose, do I?" Said Edmund.
"Your mind."
Chapter 5: The Vision
Edmund stood in a large white room. He knew that he was asleep while they inserted the crystal. But was this a dream?? Suddenly a hole burst through the wall. The hole began to grow and a whooshing noise echoed through his ears. The walls, ceiling, and floor tore away like paper and this small universe opened up to a vast gravityless expanse of swirling rainbow colors with no visible limit, no end, no force, no time. Only beautiful swirling colors that brought on a stream of emotions happiness, sadness, anger, envy, surprise, fear, love, hate, all swirling and blending to create a wave of pure ecstasy.
Edmund had heard of people who meditated and things like this happened. Caught up in space, he could feel everything that went on in the universe and he knew what was going on. He was knit into the fabric of space-time. As his mind found words that described his feelings, something seemed to reach out of him into somewhere uncertain, full of anxiety. It extended through a strange place full of texture and as it felt through here it touched something long and silky, he could see it as some of the swirling colors combined to make strands of beautiful gold.
The more this strange arm felt the more his eyes could see. They saw pale skin surrounding a curvy and well-defined human body, a girl, about six years older than him. She wore a strange outfit that was a strange blue material covering most of the body and a white sort of sleeveless shirt with yellow straps and a yellow patch on the belly, and there were lines on the chest part. She also wore white gloves, and white boots that had yellow tips. She was some sort of warrior, Edmund could tell. "So," she said in a smooth voice with an accent and tone that denoted a royal lineage, "You want to fight me, eh, what is it? Edmund? Ha! You are in for the fight of your life, boy!" She disappeared and the hand felt a short man with spiky blond hair, green eyes, and a widow's peak, he recognized him as one of the guys from Cell's tournament. He wore almost exactly the same clothes as the girl had. "I am the TRUE king of the Saiyans, boy!" he said in a haughty voice, "Prepare to face your death, impostor!" And somewhere, the hand found a purple haired brother…
* * *
Edmund awoke to the worst headache he ever had. Slowly, several figures took shape.
"Are you awake?" said Khi, his eyes glowing with excitement.
"Yeah. I had the weirdest dream. It was that…" Edmund couldn't find words for his feelings.
"Did it involve swirling colors, and people you never met?" asked Si'djet.
"Yup." He responded, "It felt like I was everywhere, and everything."
"We khalai have these dreams also when implanted with the crystal. We call them 'initiation dreams'. It proves that the crystal is working correctly."
"So, do I get to fight yet?"
"No," said Ren-tin, laughing, "we must still charge the crystal."
