Ch. 17
End of Matsuo Pt. 3
[I couldn't believe it. One of my supposed enemies had saved my life and by doing so was killed in the process. I started to walk over to Tetsuo with the intentions of blowing a hole through his chest but I was stopped by a little arm tugging at the bottom of my pants. I looked down to see a half dead Shampoo looking straight at me. I knelt before her and she just looked up at me with pale eyes.]
"Wo ai ni Matsu." [She was forming the letter "O" with her mouth but I suppose the sound never came. When she realized she couldn't speak anymore she just smiled and just like my grandfather her eyes lids closed and she passed from this mortal plain.]
"Well isn't that sentimental. Poor little girl defied me and I blew her up. How sad. Well now that the cannon fodder is out of the way why don't we continue our little bout."
"How about not. I'll tell you what. I'm going to end this now and I'll save you a hell of a lot more pain than a long, drawn out battle would have induced." [I held my palm upwards and concentrated on what my grandpa had taught me when I was barely 5 years old.]
*insert flashback*
"Matsuo, I want you to remember something."
"Yea grandpa Vegita."
"Remember that I won't be around forever so I'm going to show you the secret of the saiya jin race. Just hold your palm upwards to the sky and think of the moon. An energy ball should form with the power to unlock your hidden potential. Why don't you try it now?"
"Okay." [I concentrated all of my thoughts on the moon and sure enough a glowing ball of celestial light formed in my delicate hand.]
"Very good Matsuo. Now throw it into the sky and I'll show you the legendary might us saiya jins can perform." [I did as I was told and as soon as the ball was high in the sky it expanded and filled the sky with a blinding light.]
"Matsuo! Keep your eyes closed until I say it's safe. Do you understand?"
"Hai!" I said with my eyes closed tight.
"Now Matsuo I'm going to look at it but don't be startled at what you see when I give you the okay." [I was told not to open my eyes but I could defiantly tell my grandpa was in pain. Then he said to open my eyes. What I saw was deeper than I wanted to go. A giant golden ape was all that was left of him.]
"Now Matsuo," he said in a deeper voice than usual, "this is what happens when a saiya jin with a tail looks at a full moon. But there is a farther level when you master this form. The true transformation of the saiya jin people. I'll show you now." [He let out a yell and instantly his body shrank to its normal size except that his hair has long and shaggy and he was covered in thick red fur.]
"One day I hope you will master this power and become the new prince of the saiya jin race."
*uninsert flashback, insert progressive timeline thingy*
[I tried to do this in the years to come but all I did was go on a rampage and destroy a bunch of buildings and then be stopped by my grandpa. He would always say.]
"Not quite Matsuo, your time will come. But for now don't rush it. You will know the time when you need to call upon this great power and you will prevail over your enemies. Just give it time Matsuo." *uninsert progressive timeline thingy* "What the hell are you yapping about?" said an eager Tetsuo.
"Ara? Um, oh yeah. I'm going to kill you with the techniques that my family taught me."
"Oh okay, sure ya are. Don't make me laugh. I know just about everything you know so don't flatter yourself okay? You need to be at about 3 times my power to actually hit me with one of my own attacks. Don't be a lame ass."
"What makes you sure I can't do it? I blew a 4 and a half inch hole through your chest last time with a little chi blast. If you ask me you're the lame ass."
"FUCK YOU! That was a lucky shot and a cheap one at that. I dare you to try that again!" [So I did. It grazed his arm.]
"Hey! Watch where you're shooting those things! You could take out an eye with one of those." [Holy shit. Here we go again.]
"*blah blah blah, bitch bitch bitch*"
"Okay here's a thought. HEY TETSUO!"
"Uh yeah what."
"Just when the hell did you graduate from Puss U.? Were you always such an ass when things don't go your way. Anyway, I'm going to kill you with the attacks that I learned from those who you killed." [How's that for dramatic.]
