Origins pt. 1

Kenji began to strip his clothes off as he turned on the shower. He stepped under the showerhead and watched as the blood of his dead enemies streamed down the drain. His brain was going in overdrive, that couldn't have just happened. Nemito couldn't be dead. It was impossible. Nemito was the closest thing to family he ever had, and in the two hours he was on that cursed planet he lost Nemito.

Tears welled in Kenji's eyes as he remembered the time Nemito had let him drive. It was about six months ago on the planet Gandort, they had just saved the planet from an evil warlord and the planet's king had given them a car and a good meal in return. Nemito let him get behind the wheel and almost had a coronary. Kenji had been weaving all over the road all day. The look on Nemito's face was priceless………the thought brought a fresh wave of grief.

In a way Kenji was glad he had killed Andarius' henchmen, but he was not used to killing. It was Nemito's philosophy: "An enemy left alive is a constant threat to the safety of you and your loved ones." Nemito never left an enemy alive. Kenji was different. Balimar had told Kenji of his Sayian heritage, but he never killed unless he absolutely had to. Until the day Nemito died.

Kenji was dying on the inside because he knew it was wrong to kill, but by the same token, Andarius's henchmen had killed an entire planet's population and had helped to kill Nemito. At that moment a picture of Andarius standing on Nemito's broken body flashed through his mind. He clenched his fists. He was warming up to Nemito's philosophy more and more.

BEEP BEEP BEEP

Kenji walked from the bathroom, clad in a towel, hair still wet from the shower. He walked to the computer and pressed a few buttons.

"Entering the atmosphere of the planet Vegita."

Home at long last Kenji thought with mixed feelings. He set his ship down on the outskirts of a city. Kenji dressed in his usual Namekian garb and exited the ship.

BAM Kenji slammed face down into the ground. "Too…Heavy" Kenji managed to gasp. So much for my dramatic entrance He pushed him self up to a crouch. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that the gravity is a tad stronger here He stood and walked around a bit to get used to it. After five minutes or so, Kenji could throw a decent punch, and that was all he needed.

Kenji started walking towards the town and the skyline began to emerge from the horizon. He could make out several enormous skyscrapers, each easily over 200 stories. As Kenji got inside the city, he noticed that the buildings were windowless and dilapidated. He could see people in the lower stories, cooking food over open fires, sleeping, kids running around. Kenji also noticed a lot of apparently homeless people just standing around in the streets.

Kenji sensed quite a lot of large powers clustered towards the center of the city, so he headed that way. The closer he got to the center of the city, the better shape the buildings around him were in. Until he crossed a street and the place transformed. The buildings on this side of the street were well taken care of, shiny windows, clean streets, no homeless people hanging out on street corners. Kenji glanced at the street sign: DMZ street. As he continued walking, the buildings got shinier, nicer, and bigger, Until He reached a palace that would make Buckingham Palace and The Tahj Mahal look like Motel 6. Kenji walked up to the gates and a group of Sayian warriors surrounded him.

The Sayians were dressed in body armour that covered the torso and shoulders, with a black skin-tight suit underneath. The leader of the group came up and said, "What business do you have here at Vegita-sei palace?"

"My ship is out of fuel. I sensed some powerlevels over here and came to see if I could get a refuel." Kenji said.

"Wait a minute, aren't you a little young to be on your own?"

"I'm nine and a half."

"Where are your parents?"

"I've never met my real family, but my adopted brother ………he………he was………" Kenji faltered.

"He died?"

"Yeah."

"Sorry to hear that, little guy."

"Thanks…So, How about that fuel?"

"Sure, let's go take a look at your ship." And the soldiers followed Kenji as he set off for his ship. Kenji learned that the leader's name was Jyro. Kenji and Jyro talked the whole way. Kenji was telling him of his adventures with Nemito. "You're a pretty cool kid. You're a Sayian right?'

"Yeah, but this is my first time on Vegita."

"If you're a Sayian, then you like to fight, right?"

"Hell yeah, I love to fight."

"You know we've got schools here on Vegita that are specifically for fighting."

"Really! That's sweet!"

"If you want I could see about getting you enrolled."

"That'd be great!" Kenji's brow creased, "But I don't have any place to stay."

"Well, you could stay with me, what do you say?"

"Awesome! That'd be fun!"

"It's settled. Since you're staying, you won't need a refuel. I still want to see your ship, though. Since this is unofficial business we don't need to take the platoon." Jyro turned to one of his men. "Tora, you can come with us, the rest of you, back on guard detail."

A chorus of "Yes Sir's" rang out and the platoon headed back.

"Tora, This is Kenji. He's gonna be staying with us." Jyro turned to Kenji "Kenji this is my brother Tora."

"Hey, Kenji." Tora held out his hand.

"What's up" Kenji shook Tora's hand.

"Let's go check out this ship."

When they arrived at the ship, Jyro and Tora bombarded Kenji with questions about the ship.

"Do you want to see inside?" Kenji asked.

"Sure!" Tora and Jyro followed Kenji under the ship.

"Stand back" Kenji warned. "PICCOLO" A panel on the underside of the ship began to float downwards.

When it opened fully they could see one of Andarius's soldiers on the panel. He shot energy balls at Tora and Kenji, to stun them, and shot a finger beam through Jyro's throat. Tora ran to the aid of his fallen brother. Kenji just stared in disbelief at the horror he had just witnessed. Andarius had taken his brother and now his only friend.

As the henchman aimed another beam at Tora, Kenji snapped to SSJ3 and punched the henchman as hard as his considerable strength would allow. Before the henchman flew too far Kenji blurred behind him and held out his elbow. The small of the henchman's back flew into Kenji's elbow with a sickening thud.

"DAMN YOU!" Kenji screamed "NEMITO WAS RIGHT, AN ENEMY LEFT ALIVE IS JUST A THREAT. I WON'T MAKE THAT MISTAKE AGAIN!" Kenji grabbed the henchman by the collar "I'LL MAKE SURE YOU'RE DEAD" Kenji began to power up an energy ball in his free hand.

A look of fear flitted across the henchman's face, and then a smile began to emerge. "Go to Hell" The henchman coughed out.

"You first." And with that Kenji positioned the energy ball inches away from the henchman's face and released. The henchman's face disappeared in a red mist. Kenji rose and looked upwards, as if into the heavens and said "You were right Nemito and I won't forget it. From now on no being of evil will leave my sight alive. This I vow."

Tora stood and said "Kenji, thank you for avenging my brother's death, You can still come and live with me if you want, It's what Jyro would have wanted."

"I'd like that. I'll help you carry Jyro back."

Seven Years Later On Earth

4:00 AM Capsule Corp.

Bulma woke suddenly and ran into the bathroom, slamming the door behind her. Vegita was woken up by the sound of retching. A look of comprehension crossed Vegita's face, followed by frustration.

"Damnit, Not another brat! I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE NEAR ANY SARDINE AND PEANUT BUTTER ICE CREAM WOMAN!!! DO YOU HEAR ME!?!"
