Super Saiyan Aftermath

Chapter 7 Death and Rebirth

Cable's new transformation was something to behold. The power givin off just by him powering up sent his opponents flying a great distance. Of course, they came back, thinking it was a fluke or the likes. Cable's new severity was just another advantage. He raced to the closest fused warrior. The fusion responding by shooting a beam where Cable was coming. Cable merely flipped over it, landing in front of the shocked fusion. Without blinking, Cable crouched low and slammed a fist into his opponent's gut, sending him back the way he came. Cable then cartwheeled in the air over another attacker, punching him in the head in the process.

All the while, the three other fusions prepared to attack again. As all five fused Super Saiyans flew at Cable, they split into ten, unintentionally. All of them stopped just short of Cable, thoughts of failure came to mind. Cable's new outlook, deemed them all guilty, to be judged by him. Cable ran to the one facing him and punched him in the face, knocking him out cold. Turning, Cable caught the next one off guard and kicked him in the side of the neck, killing him. Flipping backwards, Cable fired a beam at three that were clustered too close together, eradicating them. Cable then decided to finish all of them with one punch or kick.

The first one he drew beads on was trying to get another to fuse again, although too soon. Cable put his fist through his back and punched his ally in the face. He threw down the lifeless body and kneed the same man he just punch in the jaw, snapping his neck. The others had run away, and now did something drastic, one of the Super Saiyans killed the other four. Grotesquely wondering, Cable flew at him.

"Solar flare!" The all but helpless man screeched. The now blinded Cable attempted to lock onto his energy, but couldn't. There were too many around. This wasn't right. The powers should have left upon death. Cable opened his eyes only to be horrified into closing them again. He reopened them, seeing a haunting sight. The broken bodies he had made that way, were all adjoining into the lone warrior's body. His power spiked with every one. What the hell is this!? Cable thought to himself. Every time the bodies touched, the ground shook. After several moments, a new and rather ugly oponent was in front of him.

"All of our weaknesses have been destroyed. We are no longer the Council. We are the most powerful being in the universe. You cannot match up to us. Your new transformation is interesting at best. After your death, we shall find the people with the most Saiyan in them and recruit them. Everyone else will die. Die!" The mutilated person said. Its face looked as if all of the bodies tried for control of the face. The muscles were bulged, stretched to the limits. The hair was straight up, almost in a mohawk. Its eyes were a black color, the whole eye.

"We'll see about that." Cable said as he flew at the thing. He launched punch after punch at a high speed with opposite effect. His hands were hurting. The creature struck back, sending a high punch that Cable ducked, but caught a straight kick to the chin, sending him upwards. Cable attempted to right himself, but his arms were already in the horrible hulk's grip. Damn, he's fast. Super Saiyan 3 drains my energy too fast, I won't be able to maintain for much longer. It's now or never. Cable thought as he brought all his energy to bare.

Breaking free of his bondage, Cable elbowed the creation in the chin, turning its head. Cable used the time to dive backwards and up. "This one you won't survive. SUPER NOVA!" Cable screamed, jetting his hands at his opponent. The black, highly concentrated beam flew at the creation, its drill like effect looming in front of the beast. He merely watched it as it slammed into his stomach. Cable could only gape in horror. Pushing all he could muster to the front, he forced it all into the beam. Only then did the beast react, by putting his arms over the blast and shooting at Cable's face.

Deftly moving his head to the side, Cable decided he couldn't win this battle, the beast stopped all of it cold. No barrier. Without time to react, Cable was sent into the ground from a foot that slammed his head. Laying there, preparing for one more attack, he thought. The beast may be as strong as twelve men, but is it as smart? Cable realized all he had to do was strategize. The voices in it only wanted to kill, not survive. How does that help me? I used up all my secrets anyhow. He knows what I'll pull.

"Take this you ugly baboon!" Cable said as he through his customary black sphere at the thing. He caught it right in front of his face. Perfect. Index finger aiming directly where its head should be, he fired a piercing attack. The beast took it fully to the head and fell backwards. Cable was there to knee the thing in the spine. It yelped in pain while still laying on Cable's knee, Cable drove an elbow into its chest. The ugly man thing began to grow angry and growl. Cable put his hand to its face and slammed energy into it, effectivly driving it into the ground.

Cable jumped away, only to see the thing get up and whip a wave of energy at him. Cable blocked in the X shape. As it slammed into his arms, he was knocked away into a nearby hill. Sitting there resting, his back imbedded in the wall, Cable felt the ground behind him shift, as a boot hit him in the back, knocking him out of the hill and onto the ground. Cable got up to go on the defensive, when something miserable happened. The unconscious soldier had apparently awakened and grabbed Cable from behind. The beast smiled at this and prepared a massive attack.

Its arms to its left side, right hand inside the left, did a pink ball appear. "Super Galick Gun!" The thing shouted and slammed its hands forward. It hit Cable fully in the center, killing the guy holding him instantly. Cable was slammed through hills, until he finally hit a big one that stopped him. He couldn't stop the beam, his face slumped forward, engulfing him in pink. The pain stopped. I must be dead. Cable thought as he opened his eyes, to an entirely too bright of a place.

"Young one, it is not your time. You must undergo training to defeat this menace." An old man standing to his side said.

"Who are you? What about the fight? Where am I?" Cable asked, anxious to leave and continue fighting.

"I am a descendant of the Kais, this is our world. As for the fight, you lost. I saved you at the very last second. You have reached your potential, but he reached the potential of twelve men. You cannot win as you are. I am going to raise your limits."

"How the heck could you do that?" Cable asked, unsure this old man was right in the head. Nobody since Goku had met the Kais.

"Through intensive training. That new being is too powerful to be stopped by anything in reason. Know this, there are more powerful things, but they are locked away. This fusion, which we shall call Council, has twelve different fighting styles, twelve level two Super Saiyan speed and strength. Its agility is unmatched. We will begin tomorrow. First, you must heal. Drink this, you will be healed when you awake." The old blue man handed Cable a clear thin bottle. It was filled with a blue liquid, highly bubbley.

Several hours later, Cable awoke with a start. His wounds and scratches were all but healed. Knowing he was a Saiyan, at least part, he should have been much stronger. "Old man, take me back to Council, I need to finish him.'

"Foolish young. You would still lose. You were right in one aspect. He is, or rather, was dumb. One mind has taken control. He is now more of a threat." A voice said from behind, startling Cable from his dreamy state. "Besides, the Council has other things on his mind. He is heading back to the colony. The Univerity I belive. He plans to wipe out the soldiers. All of them. They will slow him down, enough so that you can reach the next level of power. There is much you have to learn. There may or may not be another transformation down the road for you. You might not reach or need the Mystic level. Once we finish here, you should be able to stay transformed indefinately if you so chose."

"Alright. How long until he reaches the U. And how long do we have until he wipes out every soldier?"

"Two days, if he doesn't toy with them."

"Thats not much time at all!"

"Then let's begin." The Kai raised his hands at Cable. "I'm going to stop your transformations." With that, the Kai's hands grew white and started to grow brighter. Suddenly it stopped. "Raise your power to the fullest. Then we will begin with strength training."

"Alright. Haaaa.." Cable blinked, realizing his non-transformed state was utterly weak.

"Is that all? I have much work to do. Walk this way. Have you heard of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber?"

"Yes, Goku used it on Earth, then introduced it to the others during the Cell Games."

"Correct. I have my own. Except in there, the gravity is five-hundred times that of what your used to. To say the least, it will be a workout for you." The Kai said, matter-of-factly.

"I could barely move in five hundred g's last time I checked. But I am much stronger now." Cable said, grinning.

"Not really, the only improvement you've made is from being healed. Reaching new levels doesn't raise your base strength."

"Aww." The now disspirited demi-Saiyan muttered. Cable followed the Kai to the Chamber. The blue man opened the door and led Cable through. It resembled the original Chamber to the exact number of tiles on the floor.

"You will spend a year in here. I will instruct you. Catch this creature will be your first task." The Kai held up a mechanical creature. It grew in his hands. As soon as it was roughly four feet tall, he set it down. It was a pair of long skinny legs with a flat top where a body would be. It had a wierd blue device on it.

"Put these on." The Kai held out the exact replica of Cable's current gi. As he did so, or attempted to, he found a problem.

"These are extremely heavy! I won't be able to catch that thing."

"Put them on. You will get used to them in time." Cable obeyed his new sensai, but only doing so with thoughts of revenge in his mind. Cable put them on and walked around the platform by his beds. He could hardly run. "Go out there and prepare. This will be a near impossibility for the first few days. Cable attempted to catch the thing. It ran with amazing speed. It had extreme speed for thin legs in this gravity.

Several days passed with slow improvements. Cable almost caught the thing a few times, but each time the device on top was growing dimmer. It had to be recharged. Months began to pass. Cable got stronger all right. His speed was greatly increasing, eventually he caught the machine. Returning it to the Kai, Cable smirkingly remarked, "I caught the thing. Finally. Also, its blue thing on top was a gravity, displacer."

"Excellent work, pupil. I want to see your true potential. I'm going to unlock your first level." With that, the Kai raised his hands, and again they grew bright and stopped shortly after. "Power up."

"Hyaaa!" Cable grunted. He pushed his level up to Super Saiyan, then maxed out. He was now just as strong as he was with Super Saiyan Three. "Wow, this is incredible!"

"Yes, it is. I'm going to unlock the rest of your levels. It's time to maintain indefinatly." The Kai perfomed the same ritual again. "Now go to level two, maxed."

"Alright. HA!" Cable shouted. His level two appeared to be too much for him to concieve at first. His power had grown farther than it ever had before. "Should I go the my third form?"

"No, there will be no need. For now, it's time for the real training to begin."
