Prelude

What the hell? Gourdo thought, this isn't what I expected at all! I never thought Cooler would be so much more stronger than Frieza!

Cooler: "You truly are a foolish and naïve monkey! Thinking you can beat me with those pathetic attacks of yours, and it also seems that your so-called Super Saiyan form is ineffective, and yet you still rely on it so much."

Gourdo: It seems that Don Maestro was right after all, and it seems that my father was right too. The super Saiyan may be the strongest form most Saiyans achieve, and it may have beaten Frieza, but it's no match for Cooler.

Cooler: "Bwahahaha! It seems that the foolish monkey is frozen in fear! Well, fear no more monkey! I shall help you end your miserable life. Then, you'll need to fear no more!"

Gourdo: If I'm going to die, then, I'll have to use my trump card.

Cooler: Well, let's see your trump card, but I doubt it'll be effective.

Gourdo: Heh. We'll see.

Gourdo: You know Cooler... If I learned anything from my training, then that was to suppress my power. It took almost 100 years of practice, but I eventually learned. Now, I'm going to unleash it all, and show you what we Saiyans are truly made out of.

Cooler: Unleash all you want monkey... But you'll be no match for me.

Gourdo yells at the top of his lungs and channels every last bit of power he has, and then, his hair suddenly starts to flicker. It flickers from yellow to black, and from yellow to black again.

Cooler: "What the..."

Gourdo keeps channeling his power until... HAAAAAH! Cooler stares in disbelief as the man standing in front of him know looks completely different, he has lost his yellow hair, instead it was replaced by black hair, but the tips of the his hair was outlined with yellow, and around him was a yellow and black aura. His eyes had changed from green to yellow, and his upper body was covered with black hair striped with yellow, and only his abs were visible on his torso.

Gourdo: "Prepared to die now?"

Chapter 1

Our story takes place, a long time ago on planet Sadala, and yes, it takes place before the birth of Son Goku. In fact, this story takes place about two hundred years before Son Goku's birth, and it takes place on planet Sadala, the home world of the Saiyans.

On a sunny day, a young Saiyan wearing traditional Saiyan amour runs through a bustling city, and towards the hospital, where he is greeted by a doctor.

Doctor: "Oh, it's lord Stratus! Well, I suppose you have come to see your new son right?"

Stratus: "Yes doctor. I have come to see my son, can you show me where he is?"

Doctor: "Absolutely Lord Stratus! Come with me this way!"

The doctor leads Stratus through a path of winding corridors and shows him into the nursery, and leads him past hundreds of nursing pods.

Doctor: "Hmmmm... Not this one... Not this one either... Is this one it? Ah yes! I believe it's this one Lord Stratus!"

The doctor points to a blue capsule placed on a high platform like the rest of the elite Saiyan children. Stratus rushes towards it, and places both hands on the glass eagerly, then, he closes his eyes.

Stratus: What a tempest of power! Amazing! In fact, I think he has more power than I do! The sheer potential of this child is amazing!

Stratus opens his eyes and gives the sleeping baby a big grin.

Stratus: "Doctor, I want to take this capsule home, if you won't object."

Doctor: "But why my Lord? Surely you wouldn't burden yourself with raising the child?"

Stratus: "Is that a yes or no?"

The doctor sweats and looks very uncomfortable, but, Stratus's glance cuts him off.

Doctor: "Yes Lord Stratus of course!"

Stratus glances at the capsule with a Euphoric look on his face.

Stratus: "Listen my son, Gourdo was it? Well, listen up, daddy's going to train you, gonna train you into a strongest warrior there ever was."

Stratus returns to his mansion cheerfully, and before he opened the door, a women opens it for him.

Stratus glances at the woman in surprise for a minute, but then starts to laugh.

Woman: "Stratus my love, I told you to visit our boy, did you do it?"

Stratus: "I visited him Berria, and he was just as lovely as I expected. In fact, I've decided to move his capsule into our home."

Berria: "That's my Stratus!"

The two embrace.

Chapter 2

5 years later...

Planet Sadala has changed during these 5 years, because of the existence of a rival race. This race commonly known as the Druids, and they have the head of an eagle, but the body of a human. The druids are a phenomenal race because they have powers of divination, and are able to see the future, but they are rather boastful and arrogant. So, the king of the Saiyans: King Sadala decided to wage war against them.

Stratus walks up to a magnificent palace, decorated with many Corinthian-style pillars, and he is covered in blood and dirt. Stratus limps towards the double oak doors and gets down on one knee. Four nearby guards rush towards him, and they help him stand up again.

Guard 1: Supreme Commander Stratus! Do you need me to bring you to the hospital?

Stratus: No, I'm fine. Take me to the king...

Stratus coughs for a bit and coughs up some blood.

Guard 2: Supreme Commander!

Stratus: What did I tell you all to do? Take me to his majesty now!

Guard 3: Y-yes sir!

The guards carry Stratus through a through a straight path and, after a while of walking, reach a very spacious throne room. King Sadala, the king of all Saiyans holds a book in his hands, and seems to be completely engrossed in it.

The guards hurry in, bringing a very-wounded Stratus with them.

Guard 4: Your majesty! Lord Stratus says he needs to talk to you about something important!

King Sadala turns his gaze away from the book for one minute then, with his hand, he motions for the guards to leave. Then, he looks back at his book.

King Sadala: So, what is it Stratus?

Stratus struggles to get on one knee, but manages to do it anyway. He manages to maintain a look of dignity on his face, which isn't exactly easy considering how severely hurt he is.

Stratus: Your majesty, I bring news from the frontier that isn't exactly pleasing to the ears.

King Sadala continues to look at his book, and nods his head.

Stratus: Your majesty, the Druids are way too much for us, they almost know our every move, and we cannot ambush or surprise them because they carry a mini version of a crystal orbs around with them the entire time, by means of a necklace. But, I realised that without these orbs, they can't see the future, so they do have a weakness, your majesty.

King Sadala: If that's their weakness, then why haven't you destroyed all of them yet?

Stratus: I can't destroy them your majesty.

King Sadala: Why? They're just a bunch of psychics, it shouldn't be that hard.

Stratus cringes at how naïve the king is.

Stratus: Your majesty, you misunderstand the Druids. They are psychics, that's true, but they are also fighters like us.

King Sadala: ... So, you're basically saying that you're out of ideas to deal with them.

Stratus: You could say that your majesty..

King Sadala closes his book, and throws it at Stratus. His face managing to remain calm, but his voice failed to do so.

King Sadala: You are one useless worm, and I am seriously considering demoting you to a common soldier!

King Sadala: Here you are, telling me that you've run out of ideas, when you have a son who has huge potential!

Stratus: But, your majesty! He's just a-

King Sadala: JUST A KID? HE HAS MORE POWER THAN YOU AND ME!

Stratus glances at the king incredulously.

Stratus: But your majesty... I didn't even know that...

King Sadala takes a deep breath to steady his nerves.

King Sadala: I didn't know how much power this kid has as well, until yesterday, when he utterly defeated the prince...

Stratus: He beat the prince to pulp?

King Sadala grudgingly nods.

Stratus: But I thought your son was the strongest on the planet...

King Sadala: I thought so too... Until your 5 year old proved me wrong!

Wow, I never thought that my boy would give that prince a thrashing, but I sure am proud of him! Beating that arrogant, trashy, kid into the mud is giving him what he deserves, and it's about god damn time that the prince learned that the prince and his gang learned a lesson. Stratus thought with a smile.

King Sadala sees the big smile on Stratus's face, and goes red with anger. But, tries to hide it, and, with a wave of his hand, dismisses Stratus. As Stratus limps out painfully, but then, he calls after him.

King Sadala: Bring your son to my palace next week Stratus! I want to get a good look at that punk.

Stratus bows in response.

Chapter 3

The next day...

Stratus floats in a healing pod in the hospital, and his wife Berria stands beside the pod. Holding hands with her is a young boy with slicked black hair, and black pupils, and he dons the traditional garments of the Saiyans. The boy stares at his father in the pod, with a look of fascination on his face. Then, a doctor enters the room to check up on Stratus.

Berria: How is he doctor?

Doctor: Lord Stratus is recovering at an astonishing speed Madam. In fact, I think he might be able to get out of this pod by next week!

Boy: Wow! Is that true? Is it true that papa will finally be able to get out of that weird machine?

Doctor: Yes Master Gourdo, it's true!

Gourdo: Yay!

Berria: Thank you doctor.

Doctor: No problem.

The doctor leaves the room, and Gourdo looks up at his mom with excitement.

Gourdo: Mama, did you know, that daddy promised to bring me somewhere tomorrow?

Berria: So I heard.

Gourdo: I'm so excited! I can't wait!

A week later...

The doctor enters the room and presses a button on the healing pod, and it's fluid is drained.

Stratus gasps and rips the oxygen mask off of his face and pants for a while before the doctor helps him out of the pod.

Doctor: Lord Stratus how do you feel?

Stratus flexes his muscles.

Stratus: Better than ever doctor. Who would've known that healing pods were so effective?

The doctor chuckles.

Stratus: Well Doctor, I'm fine now, you don't need to help me dress up.

Doctor: Alright lord Stratus, but remember, if you ever need help, just press the bell.

The doctor leaves the room and Stratus puts back on his Sadalan garbs. He then walks out of his the healing room, and is immediately greeted by Gourdo, whom he lifts up high in the air and holds him in his arms.

Gourdo: Daddy! You're not hurt anymore!

Stratus giggles at the boy.

Stratus: Yes my boy, I have done it! I have recovered!

He then turns and glances at Berria and gives her a big smile.

Stratus: My love, I'm sorry for all the worry I've caused you.

Berria flashes him a sweet smile and kisses him on the cheek.

Berria: I'm fine my love, as long as you're fine.

Stratus wraps his arm around her shoulder and holding his son in his other arm, they walk out of the hospital.

Stratus: Alright wife, I'm going to bring our son to the King ok? And don't wait for us, we're probably not coming home for dinner.

Berria: All right boys! Just remember to not stay too late!

Gourdo: We will mommy!

The two make their way to the palace.

Chapter 4

Stratus and his son fly toward King Sadala's palace, and land at the gate.

Guard 1: Identify yourself, stranger!

Stratus slightly pulls apart his clothes, to show the guard a long scar on his chest, and the guard immediately recognizes the signature scar. Then he proceeded to awkwardly bow and stutter.

Guard 1: F-f-f-forgive us for speaking so r-r-rudely, lord S-s-s-stratus!

The guards quickly open the gates, and Stratus and Gourdo enter. They walk to the throne room, where King Sadala awaits them.

King Sadala glances over at father and son, and then, raises his chin and with a smirk he greets them.

King Sadala: Look who's here?

Stratus gets down on one knee, and crosses his arm across his left arm across his chest, in standard Sadalan fashion. Gourdo awkwardly imitates him, and also gets down on one knee in a similar fashion.

Stratus: My son and I are here, at your request. Your majesty.

King Sadala slowly gets up from his throne, , and with his son accompanying him and walks towards Stratus and Gourdo, his eyes glaring at the two of them. Then, he rips his scarlet cape off and lunges and Stratus. Gourdo and the prince stand to the side, watching their fathers fight.

Stratus nimbly doges the King's blows, and questions him.

Stratus: What is this, your majesty? Are you testing my abilities? If so, I shall not hold back.

Sweating, King Sadala boosts his aura.

King Sadala: Don't worry Stratus, this is just a sparring match between us two.

Stratus easily doges all of the King's energy blasts, and flashes him a smile.

Stratus: You've gotten better, your majesty, better than the last time we fought. In fact, Much better!

Stratus blocks King Sadala's flurry of punches and maneuvers behind him, and blasts him with a Ki blast. King Sadala picks himself up from the ground, and charges right back into the battle, but doing no better than he had before.

What is he made out of? Why the hell is he so tough? King Vegeta thought.

He then proceeded to fire an energy volley at Stratus, who easily deflects all of it. But, after deflecting all of the blasts, Stratus found that King Sadala wasn't there! He turned around just in time to get another flurry of punches. Stratus falls, but manages to land on his feet. Then, the king fires consecutive Ki blasts at him. Then, Stratus appears behind him and hits him on the back of his head with his elbow. Worried, the prince runs up to his father.

Prince: Father! Are you ok?

Gourdo runs over to the fainted king.

Gourdo: Dad! Think he'll be ok?

Stratus lands beside the fainted king and picks him up. The prince flashes him an angry look.

Prince: Don't touch my father!

Stratus: Prince Remus, I am only taking your father to a healing pod, do not be alarmed.

Prince Remus clenches his fists tightly.

Remus: You should be beheaded for beating my father so mercilessly!

Stratus chuckles and looks at the young, hotheaded prince.

Stratus: I don't think they will behead the older brother of an emperor so easily prince. Or shall I say, nephew.

Prince Remus and Gourdo both stare at him in pure shock.

Gourdo: Wow! That's so cool dad!

Stratus: Ha. I know right? Anyways let's go home, your mother is waiting for us.

Gourdo: Ok!

The two walk out of the palace with Prince Remus reluctantly following them.
