Disclamer: I don't own Tenchi Muyo or any of the characters, and I don't own Dragonball or anything that has to do with it, so please don't sue me.

However!! I DO own Kin-Raidon and any original characters, so please don't steal them, they are me, in more ways than one. -

Chapter 3: A Show of Power

With the push of a button, Washu was out of her nurse's outfit, in a pair of green shorts and a "Greatest Scientific Genius" t-shirt, and had Kin is a crushing bear hug with a massive grin on her face. Kin gasped for air.
"Wa.Wa.Washu! I can't brea.!" he struggled out.
"You can't what?" she asked, still holding him tight.
"I.can't.brea.brea.BREATH!!"
"Oh!" replied Washu, quickly releasing him.
"What, in all things good, are you talking about? Grandson?" Kin interrogated Washu.
"Uh, well, when Ryoko and Tenchi got married, they were not physically, er, 'compatible' shall we say. It took me a little while to fix that. But anyway, as a marriage gift to them I started on their first heir. I took DNA from both Ryoko and Tenchi and added it to Mass," Kin looked confused at that last part, "Uh, don't ask, and just to spice things up a little, I added a little Saiyan DNA from a sample I had on file,"
"Saiyan DNA," Kin murmured.
"You know of them?" inquired Washu.
"Just that they were a warrior race, and were all but destroyed by an evil creature named Freeza," answered Kin.
"Very good!" replied Washu, surprised that he had even heard of them, "The scientist in me added the Saiyan DNA because of simple curiosity. There is an ancient Saiyan legend that tells of a man ascending to 'Super Saiyan.' His strength and power were increased exponentially. I had hoped, with the combined training of Tenchi, Ryoko, and myself, we could bring the child to such a level of being," she paused to catch her breath, "I returned to my lab one day to find only trace amounts of DNA in the machine the fetus was gestating in. I had assumed the dominate Saiyan blood had overpowered Tenchi's human blood, and Ryoko's DNA, and then had simply cannibalized itself. I came to the decision that nature was the best way to produce a child, and I terminated the project. Apparently I was wrong; the fetus had not been destroyed. He kidnapped you when you were only a few weeks old!"
Kin was just about to point out that the story sounded a bit farfetched, but Washu interrupted his thoughts. "So have you?" she asked, not even trying to hide the excitement in her voice.
"Have I what?"
"Have you become a 'Super Saiyan'?"
"Well, I guess so, if that's what its called." he trailed off.
"What do you mean?" demanded Washu.
"Well, I can transform, increasing my strength, power, and stamina tenfold," he explained.
Washu was almost giddy with enthusiasm, "Well, let's see it then!"
"No, no, no, later. First I want proof of your little story here,"
"Ah, of course," replied Washu, not doing a very good job at hiding her disappointment, "Please look here," she said, pointing to a monitor. Everything came up on the screen as she explained the evidence, "This is your DNA. Use it for reference. This is Tenchi's, Ryoko's, and Saiyan. And here they are combined.see? A perfect match!"
"Yeah, but hanging around with Kagato for so long has taught me at least one thing; to be cautious when it comes to matters that I do not understand," countered Kin.
"A wise lesson from such an evil man," Washu said thoughtfully, "Okay, how about some physical evidence then," as she said this, three images appeared on the screen, one of him, Tenchi, and Ryoko. Look, you have you mother's eyes and 'fangs', and your father's facial structure, not to mention 'rat tail'," she said, expressing her point by yanking on his hair.
"Ow!" Kin yelped in surprise more than pain.
"There is one other thing," she said as she turned Kin to face her. They stood there for a moment, gazing into each other's sharp eyes.
Suddenly, Kin heard Washu's voice without her opening her mouth, ::How's this for proof?:: Kin was so caught off guard, he stumbled backward, tripped over some tubing on the floor, and fell backwards. He could hear Washu's shrill giggle in his head.
"What is this?!" he shouted.
Again, Washu responded without opening her mouth, ::I have a telepathic link with Ryoko, and now, I share one with you as well,::
"Wow," was Kin's only response as he sat on the floor of the enormous laboratory.

That evening found the extended Masaki family, along with a still shirtless Kin (Washu had neglected to tell him where she had put his sweatshirt in the lab) sitting on the porch of the house. Washu had told the rest of the family what she had discovered about Kin, as he sat off to the side, a little embarrassed without his sweatshirt.
"As for attacking you, Ryoko, Kagato had him convinced that you massacred his parents in cold blood, a little ironic, that you are his mother in truth," rationalized Washu.
"Yeah, I guess so," Ryoko was in a bit of shock, but who could blame her? She was just presented with an eighteen year old son she never knew about.
"Well, I guess that explains the lighthawk wings he generated," mused Tenchi, who was taking the news much better than his wife.
"That's not all he can do!" exclaimed Washu, "He has also inherited most of Ryoko's abilities, but he has yet to master them to any extent,"
"Wait, what?" interjected a confused Kin, "This is news to me, what are you talking about now?"
"Kin can generate an energy sword, can't you Kin?" all Kin could do was sit there slack-jawed, he hadn't told her that!
"He can also teleport and phase through solid matter, although he hasn't discovered these abilities yet,"
"Looks like I get a new training partner," Ryoko said, eyeing Kin as a slightly feline smirk played across her lips, "We'll get those powers up and running soon enough, my boy," she gave Kin a wry smirk and a wink.
"I can't wait for the challenge myself!" Tenchi was practically jumping from his seat with excitement.
"What are you talking about?" asked Ryoko
"I'm going to refine his sword fighting style, that is, if you'll allow me?" asked a hopeful Tenchi. Kin nodded, the idea intrigued him. Kagato had never really taught him how to use the sword, he had always relied on his natural speed and agility to defeat an enemy with his sword.
Sasami had kept quiet throughout the conversation. She had been admiring Kin's muscular build, and was fascinated with the pink cords of scar tissue that crossed it at seemingly random intervals. She was also pleased to notice that he was modest enough to be embarrassed that he was shirtless.
"All right, my little Kin-Raidon, let's give your new family a real show. Let's show 'em why you are called the Golden Thunder God! Show 'em your Saiyan side!" Washu was all but squirming with anticipation.
Kin sighed, showing off was never his favorite thing to do, "All right," He stood and began walking towards the lake shore. As he bent to remove his boots and roll up his pant legs, the rest of his new family stood, and followed him to the beach. Before they could get too close to him, he looked up, "Whoa! Hold on, you guys are gonna have to stay there, sometimes this causes craters," a confused glance was shared by his audience at that comment, but they came no closer. Kin proceeded to walk about ten feet out into the lake. ::Okay,:: he thought to himself, ::here we go.:: He clenched his fists tight, closed his eyes, and ground his teeth together. Slowly the ground began to quake, making the surface of the water to become rough, and beads of the clear liquid began to levitate into the cool night air, defying gravity. Kin's hair began to rise around his visor. As it rose, it started to gently floated back and forth, as it caught in the wind. For a moment, the ground stopped shaking, and the lake became calm again, the only sound was the water lapping at the shore. With his hair still floating around his head, Kin allowed a low guttural growl to grow from the middle of his chest. It started softly, almost the purr of a loving house cat, but as it rose to a primal scream, he opened his eyes, revealing only the whites. Suddenly his hair froze in place and faded from midnight black to brilliant gold, and as if cued by his howls, the quaking returned tenfold. Small bolts of blue lightning began running across his flesh. Suddenly, with a great burst of power, and a bright flash of yellow light, Kin flung his head back and howled into the night sky as his muscles doubled in size, and increased in strength by an immeasurable increment. When the light faded, Kin could be seen, knee deep in water, tail snaking to and fro, his golden hair standing on end, surrounded by a flickering golden-white aura. And his eyes had turned a magnificent sea green, and no longer had any pupils to speak of. And something else, something none of the spectators had seen during the transformation. Kin appeared to have war paint on his face. "The mark of the Juraian warrior!" gasped the three eldest in unison. The marks were half crescents on his face, two on each cheek. They began, one directly below the other, just below his ears, and came to a point under each eye. Noticing Ryoko's obvious awe, Washu made a comment, "Still want him as your training partner?" Her daughter made no response.

Sasami had been speechless throughout the entire display. She had never seen such a show of power, and her alternate personality, Tsunami, confirmed that she hadn't either. As she stared at the contrast between dark scar tissue and bright aura, she thought of something. Sasami decided that it was her turn to see what he could do. She did what every teenage girl does when she wants a guy to do something, she mocked him. "Nice light show, Blondie," she said, turning to Washu, "What does this all mean Little Washu?" "Oh, not much," the little scientist began, not bothering to hide her pride, "just that he is now, officially, the most powerful entity in the known universe," she finished nonchalantly. "Prove it," Sasami came right back. "Umm, don't I get any say in this?" asked Kin, still standing in the lake. "No," Washu and Sasami replied simultaneously. ::Great, what is she gonna make me do now?:: Kin thought to himself. "Well, he is strong enough to blow up a planet, but that's not very convenient, how about." Washu trailed off. She looked at Kin for a moment, thinking. Glancing over his shoulder she saw the moon, beautifully full on that night. "The moon, blow it up," "You gotta be kidding!" Kin was so shocked he had to choke out the words. "Why? I can always replace it," Washu responded while shrugging her shoulders. "Okay, if you say so," he said while turning to face his target. However, once his eyes caught the rays of the full moon's light, something strange began to happen. His body started to go through another transformation, this one more drastic than the last. Thick course fur began to grow all over his skin and his face started to grow outward, into the face of a primate. His body started to grow, tearing his jeans when his legs could no longer fit inside them. As suddenly as it had begun, is reversed. With a flash of electricity, followed by sparks from the emerald ring he wore on his right hand, he was no longer growing, or even a super Saiyan. The last thing his senses recorded before he passed out and fell face first into the lake, was the sound of someone calling his name, and the image of his surrogate family rushing to his aid. Then the world went black.
