Chapter 3
Gordon couldn't believe what he saw. Some weird blue elf in sunglasses and an old lady floating on a crystal ball appeared in his room. He wasn't sure what to make of it, blinking in disbelief. He could only utter a few words.
"Wh-wh-who are you?" He asked nervously.
"Hello Gordon." King Kai responded. "I am King Kai, overseeing god of this quadrant of the universe. This (ahem) lovely young lady is Beba, a transporter from the Other World."
Beba gave King Kai a dirty look. King Kai continued.
"We have come here to bring you to the Other World. Do you know how far back your bloodline traces?" He asked.
Gordon stopped stammering and replied, "Well, my Mom is from Orange City far away, and my Dad has parents from Scotland,"
King Kai raised his hand like he wanted to comment.
"How about place the word 'Vegeta' instead of Scotland?" King Kai said.
Gordon gave a puzzled look. "What the heck is Vegeta?"
King Kai put his hand on Gordon's shoulder. "I have lots of explaining to do."
Beba teleported the three of them out of Gordon's room and placed them onto Snake Way. Gordon freaked out, looking around to seeing he wasn't in his room anymore, much less Earth.
"This is Snake Way. It is the road to the Other World, a place where dead spirits who are noble enough to have their bodies in the afterlife go to live for all of eternity."
Gordon's eyes widened. "I'm not dead, am I?"
King Kai laughed. "No, but you do have another special quality that requires a trip there."
Beba left King Kai and Gordon, as they walked down the road to King Yemna's office. Gordon looked up at the giant, wondering if he was going crazy.
"Well, this is the Saiyan boy? Sure does look a lot more human to me!" Yemna bellowed.
King Kai reassured him. "Trust me."
Yemna sighed. "All right, I'll send a plane for a visit to the Other World."
King Kai got a big grin on his face, and walked to the plane tarmac. Gordon, not sure what to do, just followed him. He looked at the big yellow clouds, all the dead people boarding the planes, and the elf-like people that were pilots and plane workers.
"So why do I need to go to the Other World, King Kai? What's this special quality? And what does it have to do with the Vegeta and Saiyan thing?" Gordon asked curiously.
King Kai just signaled Gordon to follow him to the plane, and they got in their seats. The plane took off, and Gordon looked out the window, astonished by the yellow clouds. King Kai tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention.
"Gordon, we have some serious talking to do."
"Wait, before you begin, what are my parents going to think about where I am?" Gordon demanded.
"Don't worry, I sent a telepathic message as you saying 'I'm going to hang out, later.'" King Kai replied. "Now sit down. I think it is time you learned your true past of your father…"
King Kai sent pictures to Gordon's head as he lectured.
"Long, long ago, a planet in the deepest corner of space had two races on it- the Tuffles and the Saiyans. The Tuffles were much more sophisticated, while the Saiyans were far more primitive. They loved fighting, and had very primate-esque characteristics, just like humans. The Saiyans tried to conquer the planet for themselves, and while the Tuffles' weaponry was powerful, the Saiyans won with the ability to turn into an Oozaru, or a giant ape, with a full moon, multiplying their power by 10X. The Saiyans renamed the planet Vegeta after their new king. Word of the Saiyan power spread, and beings across the galaxy exchanged money and other items of value for planets. The Saiyans were ordered to eliminate a planet's population, and eventually even younger Saiyans were sent to planets to destroy upon growing up. However, many Saiyans did not want part of this, and secretly left the planet, forming their own colony near Earth, as humans were the closest race to them. They sent Saiyans not to destroy, but to study them, and interbreed with humans, to make all powerful Human-Saiyan hybrids. Unfortunately, an asteroid attack hit the planet the Saiyans had colonized, and the only known Saiyan to survive was your father. However, due to a crash landing of his ship, he did not remember his programming. He landed in New York, where your grandparents found him and adopted him. Your father, your sister, and you, are the last of the most powerful race in the history of time."
King Kai had finished. Gordon just sat there, overwhelmed by this news. He wasn't sure what to say, or what questions to ask. There was still plenty of time before the plane landed, so he figured he might as well ask.
"What happened to the Saiyans on Vegeta, why don't I have a tail, how can I have super strength if I haven't harnessed KI, and why did you pick me instead of my dad or Violet?"
King Kai just chuckled, stirred for a couple of seconds, and responded, sending more images to Gordon while talking.
"A race called the Changlings were one of the Saiyan's major buyers. So much, they started taking control of Vegeta. The ruler of them, Freeza, learned of the legend of the Super Saiyan, where once every millennium, a Saiyan would reach incredible power. He feared he would face one of these, and started annihilating them, staring with King Vegeta. Eventually the whole planet blew up, with only 4 Saiyans surviving. One of them was an ancestor of your mother."
A new batch of questions arose for Gordon, but he let King Kai finish his other questions.
"Your super strength is a result of Human-Saiyan puberty. All humans have puberty, as do Saiyans, although they differ quite a bit. Humans lose control of many functions periodically, as Saiyans have incredible momentary jumps in power. Your Saiyan blood and genes are the cause of this, as Saiyans lack adrenaline, but combine it with human rage, and you have your momentary power bursts."
"So any living being can master KI? Sweet!" Gordon said, perking up.
"You don't have a tail because your father's colony realized it was holding them back from the power of the Super Saiyan, as any male Saiyan- full or hybrid- can attain it, so every one got the gene removed. I picked you because female Saiyans cannot attain Super Saiyan because, well, men are simply stronger." King Kai tried hard not to laugh.
"Your father has not experienced KI for too long, and it would be very hard. But you are young and strong, and with human qualities you can become stronger faster. Your real grandfather was the current leader of the Saiyan colony, and attained Super Saiyan 3. Even though it skipped a generation, your Super Saiyan potential is still dormant, and could be revealed with training."
Now Gordon was excited as the plane landed, and they walked off. "So you're saying I can become a Super Saiyan?" He asked.
"Don't get ahead of yourself, Gordon. As we begin training today, you must learn to control your strength, especially through your puberty. When the time comes, we will work on higher levels."
King Kai and Gordon walked into the Other World, starting a new beginning for Saiyan warriors.
