Chapter 2

I reappeared in a dark, stingy room. The only light came from a bulb swinging from the ceiling. And of course, from me. The super sayjin. There was a chair in front of me, about 3 feet away. A girl with red hair was tied to it, gagged, and had a bandana over her eyes. A man was standing in front of her, leaning casually against the doorframe. His stance was casual, but he was frightened. His eyes were as wide as moons. He must have noticed how I'd gotten there.

"Let her go." I said. Wow. My voice sounded deeper in my transformed state. Then the man calmed down, and smirked. I was about to run over to him and pound the shit out of him, but I felt the muzzle of a pistol resting against my temple.

"Move, and you die. I don't know how you got here, but you're not leaving the same way." I heard another voice say. I took a deep breath. I was a super sayjin. I dodged the barrel of the gun, which fired off a shot into the wall. Claire began to scream into her gag, and I grabbed the gunman by his elbow and shoulder, and threw him through the wall. The other man ran out of the room. I walked over to Claire. I untied her from the chair, and removed her gag.

"Who are you?" She asked.

"I'm someone here to save you." I said. I placed one hand on her shoulder, and brought two fingers up to my forehead. She raised her hands to remove the bandana from her eyes, and when she did, she was in front of her house.

"How?" She turned to ask me, but I was already gone, flying away, leaving a golden trail. Oh God that was awesome! I'd just saved my best friend! And done it with ease! I laughed as I flew through the air. I landed in the construction site. I held one palm out towards a pile of junk, and blasted it. With a huge cloud of smoke, it exploded. When the smoke cleared, there was nothing left of the pile except for a few ashes. What would such a blast do to a person? I thought, horrified at the thought. I promised myself right there and then that I would never use energy blasts. It would cause incredible damage, if not to people, to buildings, to civilization. I wouldn't likely need any of them anyway.

"What in this world could challenge a super sayjin?" I asked of the sky. Even through the bright sky, I saw the star twinkle. "What? That's not a star. A comet?" I wondered. Brushing it off, I flew home. I walked up to a tree in the back yard, and began punching and kicking. Lightly. I knew the power I now possessed would destroy the tree, if the cartoons were accurate. It didn't tire me out at all. Of course, I wasn't hitting very hard, even by normal standards. I was just checking my speed. It was incredible.

"Are we near the planet yet?" A deep voice asked.

"Planet is approximately 2.035 nanotechs away." A computer answered.

"Good. We should be nearing the power source." The first voice said. Reaching from the shadows, his huge hand pressed a button on his console. "Only a sayjin can hold such power." The screen displayed text that read POWER LEVEL-60,000. "Most human's have a power level of about a hundred. This boy may be the only other surviving sayjin. He would be a god to them. But to me, he will be a piece of cake. I will be the only sayjin. I will rule the universe! 60,000. Light weight." The deep sayjin voice laughed. All of a sudden, his computer began making many noises, and the screens blinked severely. The screen that had displayed POWER LEVEL-60,000, was now going crazy! The numbers kept growing, until it stopped at 100,000, blinking nonstop.

"What!?!?!?" The sayjin yelled…

I was inside, watching TV. Claire was on the news, telling her story of how a "golden hero" saved her. He flew away before she could thank him. I smiled, knowing she was safe. I called her.

"Claire? I just saw the news. You're safe?" I asked.

"Yes…it was weird. I was bound and gagged, and there was a bandana over my eyes, so I couldn't see. But I heard someone throw another person threw a wall. Then I heard someone run away, and someone untied me. As I reached up to take the bandana from my eyes, I saw that I was home. It was weird, and scary." Claire said.

"Wow. That's incredible." I said, sounding surprised.

"Yeah. I just wish I knew who had helped me. He flew away."

"He flew?" I asked in mock disbelief.

"Yes."

"Hey, can you get out of the house? There's something I want to show you." I asked. Claire told me no, but that I could come over. So I walked over there, normal human speed. She would think it strange if I flew over there.

"So what do you have to show me?" She asked as we sat on her porch.

"This." I said. I walked onto her lawn, and concentrated on my energy. Slowly, much slower then before, my energy built. And I transformed! I was floating an inch or two above the ground; with golden spiked hair and blue eyes. I looked at Claire, who looked like she was about to faint.

"You? You're the golden hero?" She gasped.

"Yes. But I prefer the term, super sayjin." I said.

"Super sayjin? Wait a minute. Dragonballz?" She asked.

"Yeah, somehow I have their powers." I said, laughing. Claire was scared.

"Those people blow up moons and planets. Their power destroys cities in an instant. You have that power?" Claire asked me, afraid. Yes, I've gone through bouts of depression. There have been times when I've sworn to kill everyone around me.

"Yes. But I will not use this power to blow anything up. I have more then just energy blasts." I said. I explained the anime to Claire. She was slightly familiar with it, but I explained my abilities. "If the cartoon is accurate with what I can do, then I might as well be a god." I said.

"Show me." She said. I wrapped my arms around her waist, and pulled her into the sky. I showed her the curvature of the Earth, and how large the moon was. I showed her the Amazon, the Sahara, Antarctica, Asia, Europe, Africa, South America, basically every vacation spot in the world. And it only took us a half-hour! "How fast can you go?" She asked.

"I don't know. At least a hundred miles an hour, maybe more. Now, I'm kinda tired, so we have to go home." I glanced into the stars, and saw the comet. It seemed like it was coming this way; but then again, all comets pass earth on their way to the sun. We just might not see all of them…

"Computer!!! Explain!" The voice yelled into his space pod.

"A surge of power from the sayjin was detected. He may have transformed."

"Maybe to the oozaru state. But it is not nighttime there, let alone time for a full moon. How could he know the false moon technique?" The sayjin demanded.

"By scanning the media of the humans, they have a cartoon they call Dragonballz. This cartoon depicts people with powers similar to the sayjins. They actually call a race sayjins. The energy blast techniques available to a sayjin are depicted in the cartoon quite accurately. The power levels, however, are quite inaccurate. By the end of the cartoon series, even the weakest fighters have a power level over a million." The computer stated.

"Over a million? Completely wrong. But this fighter may now know his techniques. He may also be able to control the oozaru form. But there is no way possible that fool is a super sayjin." The sayjin stated to himself.

"It is possible. The power levels are high enough."

"No. No way some fool who grew up on such a backwards planet has achieved super sayjin status." The sayjin said in a rattled voice…

I slept that night. Or at least I tried to. I was brimming with the anticipation of flying around the world again. I actually was planning to try and leave the atmosphere tomorrow. Maybe not…I don't want to over due it. Flying around at a hundred miles an hour, whipping through the clouds, it was so much fun with Claire. Slowly, my eyes got heavy. I drifted off to sleep…no! I jerked up to a sitting position, sweat dripping from my hair. "What is that?" I said aloud. I felt…something. It was dark, scary. Powerful. "The sensing power?" I wondered aloud. I looked out the window. The comet was huge! It was coming closer. If it was heading for earth, which I knew it wasn't, it would be here soon! Could I be sensing something from that? "Nah. It must be my imagination. Comets wouldn't have a power level anyway." I told myself, and lay down on my side, pulling the blankets up to my chin. I slept, but the dark, scary, powerful feeling never left me. In fact, it seemed like it was getting closer…
