Chapter 4
Disclaimer- I don't own Dragonball Z or any of its characters… yet.
King Kai and Gordon walked around the Other World, as they passed warriors from every time period, Gordon was astonished. They were flying, using super strength, shooting energy blasts, and moving faster than he could see. He realized someday he will be able to do these things, and got excited.
"Where are you taking me, King Kai?" Gordon asked curiously.
"Your father isn't the only one with Saiyan blood. Your mother can trace back to the one of the pure blood Saiyans from Vegeta.
"Oh yeah, who?" Gordon asked, remembering the Saiyans King Kai told him.
Gordon and King Kai walked up to a rocky valley with a lake in the middle. Meditating in mid-air was what seemed to be a Saiyan. He had black spiky hair with some grayness in it, indicating his death was of age, but honorable nonetheless.
"Gordon, this is Vegeta. The prince of Saiyans."
Gordon looked at the Saiyan, and couldn't believe he was related to someone like him. He walked down the cliff and walked into the lake, with his shoes in the water. Vegeta snapped out of meditation, eying the boy.
"Hmm? What are you doing here kid? You're not dead." Vegeta replied, much more calmly then he would be known to talk to a stranger.
Slightly nervous about meeting a dead relative, he extended his hand, saying, "Hi, I'm Gordon. I'm your great, great, etc. grandson."
Vegeta cracked a smile and extended his hand to shake Gordon's. "How did you end up here, kid?"
Gordon pointed to King Kai, waving with a big smile on his face. Vegeta smirked. "The Kai brought you? Typical. What do you want?"
Gordon tried to sound tough to his great grandfather. "I need to learn to use KI, I'm the Earth's only capable Saiyan for fighting."
Vegeta noticed the determination in his descent's eyes, but shook his head. "Do you know how much time has passed since my generation? I could teach you, but your human dominance will never allow you to realize your Saiyan potential."
Gordon chuckled. "Maybe if it was just my mom, but my Dad is a full blooded Saiyan. There was a hidden colony of them, but he's the only one left."
Vegeta took a moment to take this all in. Then he smiled. "The Kai told you this, didn't he?" Not expecting a quick response, Vegeta continued. "Alright kid, we'll start with the basics. But don't expect an easy time just because you're my flesh and blood!"
Gordon, both nervous and excited at the same time, smiled. Vegeta flew away from the lake and carried Gordon by dangling him from his arms onto one of the fake planets in the Other World Tournament stadium. Gordon and Vegeta walked onto a large rock and sat down.
"Alright Gordon, we'll start with the basics. I sense you are incredibly weak for a fighter, but slightly above average for a non-KI human of your age and size. Put your hands in a cup, and try to get a feeling of all your energy. Dig into it from your mind and soul, and keep digging until you have enough.
Gordon tried this, watching Vegeta creating a sphere of energy effortlessly. He tried as hard as he could, but nothing came out. Vegeta noticed his struggle and frustration.
"Gordon, hold still." Creating a small blast, Vegeta fired the energy to surround Gordon, and Gordon had a small aura around him. Soon enough, Gordon created a ball of energy in his hands. He grinned big.
"Alright, now try to do it without my help."
Gordon nodded, and re-cupped his hands, focusing hard, a few seconds passed with nothing, until a large energy ball was created, even bigger than the last one. He fired it into the sky, creating a fairly large explosion. Vegeta was astonished by his quick learning. Vegeta stood up, followed by Gordon.
"Alright kid, next is some basic fighting maneuvers. I'll go very gentle on you, so there's no excuse for whining." Vegeta instructed.
Gordon nodded, ready to grin and bear it. Vegeta threw a fairly moderate speed punch, but Gordon barely dodged it.
"You can do better than that, kid." Vegeta told him.
Vegeta used a sweep kick, and Gordon jumped over it. Vegeta responded with a karate chop of sorts, and Gordon reared his head out of the way. Gordon tried his hand at fighting. Throwing a punch at Vegeta, Vegeta grabbed it and chucked Gordon's fist out of his hand.
"Try harder and faster. Trust me, you won't hurt me."
Vegeta threw a series of jabs, Gordon dodged them all until one connected with his cheek, knocking him down. He wiped his face noticing he had a little blood. He got up and turned his head to see Vegeta elbowing him right in the stomach, sending him to his knees.
"Come on kid, I know you like to bow to the Prince of all Saiyans, but you're my descendant! Fight back! You're a Saiyan!" Vegeta taunted.
Vegeta grabbed Gordon by the collar and chucked him off the rock onto the lower surface of the planet. Gordon rubbed his head, as it hurt pretty bad, but tried not to show his pain. Vegeta jumped down and ran towards him.
"I'm not even not trying!" (No typo- extra emphasis) Vegeta yelled.
Vegeta was about to knee Gordon in the face, but Gordon got up and had a face of rage on, running towards Vegeta, he tackled him straight into a rock wall. Gordon came out without bruises but tired and worried that Vegeta would get mad. However, Vegeta walked out grinning.
"That's the Saiyan rage I'm talking about!"
He noticed Gordon was short of breath, so he took out a spare water bottle and threw it at Gordon. Gordon barely caught it, exhausted and over-whelmed by Vegeta's throw. He took the cap off and started drinking it and sat down. Vegeta sighed.
"Why did I get stuck with baby-sitting duty? Where's that blasted Kakarot when you need him?" Vegeta said.
Gordon noticed the rebel in Vegeta. He simply grinned and asked a question.
"Uncle Vegeta, could you show me a Super Saiyan?" Gordon requested, trying hard not to laugh.
Vegeta glanced at Gordon, then chuckled. "Come on kid, what use will that be to you?"
"Well, soon I hope to become one myself."
Vegeta couldn't help laughing. He showed no sympathy for the young Saiyan's big hopes. "Squirt, let me explain something. It takes years of training and practice to become a Super Saiyan. You have no recent bloodline to attain Super Saiyan, so I doubt…"
Gordon cut him off, slightly peeved. "My grandfather was a Super Saiyan 3 before he gave birth to my father. You saying I don't have the Super Saiyan recessive gene?"
Vegeta noticed the spark in Gordon's eyes. He realized know he got himself into a corner. "Alright twerp, I'll show you the first stage. Any higher and you'll get blown off this tiny planet!"
Vegeta got into a battle stance, spreading his legs and balling his fists next to his waist. Flashing gold slowly, he yelled with all the might in his lungs, and started generating a heavy wind. Gordon just sat there, full of anticipation. At Vegeta's ankles a golden aura started generating, and then it engulfed his body. His eyes started turning green, and his hair flashed yellow. After one huge and bright flash, a bunch of dust and smoke covered him. Once it cleared, Gordon gasped. Vegeta had a golden aura, yellow waving hair, and bright green eyes.
"And that is the Super Saiyan." Vegeta said.
Gordon was amazed by this. He just sat there, dumbfounded. Vegeta powered down, and walked over to Gordon to help him up.
"Every day in the afternoon, you train for 2 hours. The Kai will pick you up in your room after school. We will make you a Super Saiyan. I swear it, kid."
Gordon smiled big. He knew he had quite the adventure going for him…
One month later…
Gordon had mastered the basics of KI. Flight, super strength, energy blasts, super speed, energy sensing, and everything else a warrior needed. Vegeta made him a spare jumpsuit that was blue with white gloves and boots, a white collar and a white belt. Gordon wanted a cape at first, but Vegeta said it would make him look cheesy, and eventually Gordon agreed. Gordon had grown quite a bit of muscle tone from training, leaving his Earth friends and family wondering. Gordon still had yet to become a Super Saiyan yet, no matter how hard he tried.
On a Saturday of training, Vegeta and King Kai were with Gordon in the Other World, sitting on a rock watching him trying to go Super Saiyan. Gordon started powering up as hard as he could and pushed his limits, but it wouldn't work. He eventually tired himself out and kneeled onto the ground exhausted.
"Give yourself a break, Gordon. Your progress has been good this whole month already!" King Kai said.
"Good isn't good enough. We need great to be able to protect the Earth!" Vegeta said, being the 'bad cop' to this scenario.
Gordon sat down and sighed. He wasn't sure if he was ready to protect the Earth. He was well aware that when word got out across the universe of a Saiyan warrior, they all would want a piece of him. He took out a water bottle and drank it, taking a break. Vegeta looked at him, thinking.
'I may be kind of hard on the kid, but I know better than anyone else that if anyone will save the Earth anytime soon, it's gotta be him.'
King Kai looked over to see the Grand Kai walking over to them.
"Hey blue dude. Hey spiky hair dudes. We have a problem in HELL." Grand Kai announced. Gordon lifted his head, listening.
"A bunch of robotic warriors from a planet that just came in from being blown up have captured all of the HELL administrators. Vegeta, go round up a bunch of warriors to get the situation done, pro bono."
Vegeta just nodded, thinking he could take care of the problem himself. He flew off.
"Meanwhile, I'll get the Beba chick to bring them there." The Grand Kai walked off. King Kai didn't realize Gordon had a smirk on his face.
Vegeta and about 10 other warriors were near Beba and her crystal balls, as she created a blue sphere around them, about to teleport them to HELL. At the last minute, Gordon flew into the blue sphere without warning, also getting teleported to HELL.
The warriors arrived in HELL, as Beba teleported back out. The warriors looked around to see a bunch of administrators tied up.
"So, where are those robots?" Gordon spoke out loud, not realizing everyone didn't know he was with them.
"Kid, what are you doing here? It's too dangerous!" Vegeta scolded.
"Hey, I can handle myself!" Gordon said, taking a defiant stance.
"You defiantly have my blood, kid." Vegeta remarked.
The warriors looked up to see a bunch of robots on the cliff edges of HELL. They began speaking.
"HELL is our domain now, intruders will be annihilated immediately!" They said.
The robots started firing lasers. The warriors flew out of the way and started attacking the robots. Gordon managed to barely follow suit. The warriors started smashing their heads and wrecking them, but they were soon outnumbered. The warriors were put into a giant glowing cube that served as a prison for them. They shot blasts and attacked the walls, but escaped was impossible. Gordon watched from behind a rock, now frightened.
"There's one more left." A voice said from nowhere, and then it was revealed.
The voice was Cell, with all of the Z warrior's other old enemies. Gordon gulped, as King Kai told him all about their stories.
"The monkey is hiding his power. Blast him out!" Freeza demanded.
The robots fired in all directions, while Gordon managed to barely avoid them. He knew if he didn't act fast, he would die. Balling his fists with rage, he leaped from the rock and tackled one of the robots into the ground.
"Well, the monkey came out of hiding!" Babidi remarked.
Gordon, without thinking, started blasting everyone with all his might, until Freeza came out unharmed and grabbed his foot with his tail, and dangled him in front of his face.
"Before we destroy you monkey, we'll destroy your dead friends! Without their bodies, there's no coming back!" He laughed evily.
The robots began to charge up a powerful missile aimed at the prisoners in the energy cube. Gordon was now mad. He didn't care what it took, he would protect the Other World warriors. Shaking his hands defiantly in fists, he screamed as loud as he could. The whole area started rumbling violently as he roared. He started glowing gold and repelled himself off of Freeza's tail. Floating in midair, he had a gold aura covering him, and his hair started waving and turning gold, with his eyes flashing a bright, pupil-less green. With one final scream, Gordon illuminated all of HELL. The robots were blown away, while the others stood there in surprise. The power was enough to destroy the energy cube from the outside, freeing the warriors. The flash around Gordon disappeared, and he landed on the ground. He still had his aura, his green eyes, golden hair, and a look of confidence on his face.
He was a Super Saiyan.
