Hey Everyone welcome back. I got a new job at the College I attend so I apologize for taking a little long. Without further ado let's get started. Dragon Ball Super and it's characters except for OC are owned by Akira Toriyama. Please Support the offical release.
"Here we are." Escaro announced. The three males stood in front of an abandoned warehouse. Ceriac combed around noticing that there was no other way to enter besides the double doors at the front.
"Thanks Kid. You should probably head back before your Mom wonders where you are." Escaro had an annoyed expression, crossing his arms as he looked up at him.
"I'm not a kid, I can take care of myself." Apparently he forgot that just moments ago he was being manhandled by two soldiers. Which brought Ceriac to raise the question.
"Why were you stealing from the soldiers?" The little Saiyan looked away.
"Because I was hungry. Mom barely has any money since my Dad died." Ceriac felt pity for the boy. Growing up he didn't have the need to steal, but that didn't mean that he couldn't understand what he was going through. Reaching inside his cloak he pulled out a bag that he handed to Escaro.
"Here, just try to be smart with this kid." Escaro couldn't believe it as he grabbed the bag full of money.
"Thank you so much sir!" Escaro said as he ran off. "Hopefully it'll keep him out of trouble." Making sure the kid was out of view Ceriac began taking off his cloak. Cabba gave him a curious look.
"Caulifla doesn't like surprises."
(Caulifla)
Today had been a quiet day. No one to steal from and no one to fight with. No one that could give her a good challenge at least. She munched on an enormous piece of meat.
Thump…. Thump! A metallic knock echoed around the warehouse. One of her underlings went to go check it out.
"Uh.. Boss there's two people looking for you."
"Who is it?"
"It's that Cabba guy and I don't know who the other guy is, but he says that his name is Ceriac." Caulifla stopped eating. From the look on her face it was safe to say that name meant something to her. "Should I let them in?" Caulifla nodded. It was a pretty risky move for them to be here. How did they find her and why?
She was soon about to find out as they both stood under the balcony. Cabba wore the standard soldier uniform. The other male was taller than Cabba by a foot. He had on white chest armor, underneath it he had on a black spandex suit with short sleeves. From the last time she had seen him, Ceriac had changed from the scrawny little boy he use to be into a muscular soldier. She looked at his right eye. A familiar scar ran across his right eye.
"You've got a lot of balls coming back. Give me one good reason why I shouldn't go down there and rip them off?" The male just chuckled having been used to her manner of speaking.
"It's good to see you too, Cabba here has something to ask." Cabba nodded as he stepped forward.
"We're here because we need your help. We need you to join our team for a tournament."
"No way." She said, ripping off a piece of meat glaring at Ceriac.
"But our Universe is at stake." Caulifla didn't care. Who did they think they were? Ordering her to join their team for some tournament. Sure, she was all for kicking ass but not this time.
"I don't care, leave before I decide to kick your ass." Ceriac turned as he motioned for Cabba to follow him. This Ceriac was probably a coward than the one she use to know until they stopped. One of her thugs decided to give them some friendly advice as he stood next to them patting Cabba's head.
"Oi, she said beat it."
The next thing they knew, the thug was sent flying as Cabba transformed.
"Wait…you can transform too?" Ceriac asked. Cabba looked confused. With a grunt Ceriac's muscles expanded. His hair changed from black to yellow. His eyes greenish blue.
"What is that?" Caulifla asked.
"It's called Super Saiyan." Ceriac answered.
"We'd be happy to teach you….." Cabba offered.
"…that's if you join. C'mon Caulfila it's a universal tournament. Tons of strong fighters are gonna be there. This is an opportunity of a lifetime to see who's the strongest in all the universes." Ceriac goaded. He always knew how to get here attention. Caulifla rolled her eyes.
"Alright fine, but don't forget I'm not finished with you."
(Ceriac)
Ceriac was unsure with Cabba offering them to teach her. For him the transformation had taken him time to master and control. Time that they didn't have. He leaned against a column of rock watching as Cabba coached Caulifla.
After listening to his explanation, Ceriac had felt a bit of jealousy at how easily he was able to transform. It wasn't easy for him; he had lost someone important to trigger the transformation.
He lost it when Cabba began insulting Caulifla, trying to get her mad in order to transform. He stopped laughing when his fellow soldier turned his back and pointed at the top of his spine.
"What I do now, is focus all my energy at this point."
"Cabba, I'm sorry but that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard." Ceriac said from his spot. The Super Saiyan transformation was a mighty form that could change the tide of a battle, not some tingly feeling that Cabba had described.
To his surprise and annoyance Caulifla tried Cabba's method, successfully transforming for a couple of seconds. Leave it to Caulifla to prove him wrong. He had forgotten how stubborn she could be.
While Caulifla was admiring her power, he could feel that they weren't alone. Another Ki signature was here hiding.
Turning to the right, he could see a girl in a red shirt peeking behind a rock column. She disappeared under the structure. He decided to investigate. The girl let out a surprised yell as Ceriac suddenly appeared.
"Who are you?" He asked in a demanding tone.
"Please don't hurt me." She pleaded.
"Say, you're part of Caulifla's gang." Ceriac remembered seeing her at the warehouse standing next to the group of thugs.
"Yes….. my name is Kale." She whispered. Ceriac nodded as he relaxed. He noticed that she was shaking, a worried expression on her face.
"Don't worry, I'm not gonna hurt you. I just want to know why you're here hiding." He said. Ceriac gave her a reassuring look as Kale took a moment to sigh.
"I just wanted to make sure that Caulfila was ok." She stuttered out. Caulifla could take care of herself, she was one of the strongest Saiyans in Sadala. But to hear someone care for her was a surprise.
Caulifla and Cabba were even more surprised as Kale appeared with Ceriac. "She was hiding around here. She's a sneaky one." Ceriac answered.
"Well now that she's here, you can teach her how to go Super Saiyan." Caulifla exclaimed, Kale didn't say anything as she was currently in her grasp. Ceriac and Cabba looked at each other the deal was that they would teach Caulifla if she joined.
"C'mon she's my protégé, she has more potential than I do." Ceriac considered it, he could feel her Ki being at almost the same level as Caulifla's maybe even higher. But she looked young and inexperienced not to mention skittish.
"Fine, what do we got to lose at this point." Ceriac said. If it meant that Caulifla would join them, then so be it.
It was a mistake.
"Hey!" Caulifla shoved Cabba away. He had tried the same method of insulting in order to make Kale mad. He only succeeded in making her cry.
"You get some kind of enjoyment from this, making my friend cry?!" Ceriac moved in between the two.
"Hey, you're the one who wanted us to teach her. Or did you forget?" Caulfila growled, her head was inches away from his face.
"The point was to make her an awesome kick ass fighter, now look at her!" She pointed. Kale was trying hard to hold back tears, her lips tightly holding back her whimper.
"Then you must be a horrible teacher if your PROTÉGÉ ends up a crying mess." Ceraic said. He put his fingers up making quotation marks.
"How dare you! At least I'm not a fucking coward for leaving."
"If I'm a coward then you're a no-good two-bit thug!" Caulifla reared her hand back.
"Please stop arguing." Kale pleaded as she looked towards the ground. "I can't do it. I'm not like you."
Caulifla relaxed. "Kale what did I tell you about saying that?"
"No, Cabba's right. I'm just a Saiyan lightweight." Her aura flared to life as small yellow patches of flames appeared around her transparent aura. The ground began to shake all around them, small rocks began levitating off the ground.
"Awesome Kale! You're doing it." Caulifla said. Kale's scream echoed around the area. Ceriac wasn't liking this. Her body was changing, her petite frame was growing larger. Her nonexistent muscles getting bigger and bigger.
"Kale you have to calm down." Ceriac stated but to no avail.
"Kale that's enough." Cabba yelled out. This wasn't normal. The Super Saiyan transformation was strong but this was ridiculous. Caulifla wasn't lying when she said that Kale was strong. With a final scream all three Saiyans were sent flying back. Quickly getting up he could see Kale's massive body. Her eyes white, green hair instead of the black or expected yellow. She raised a finger pointing at Cabba.
"You will be my first sacrifice." The next thing they knew Cabba was sent flying. The short soldier was embedded high up in a column of rocks.
"Kale your power is amazing." Caulifla admired. She didn't care that she hurt Cabba.
Kale turned her attention to Ceriac. "You're next." He dodged an incoming fist. Kale thrusted a green Ki blast into his chest sending him reeling back.
Cabba liberated himself from his spot as he joined his comrade. The three took to the air as they evaded Kale's attacks.
"What the hell did you do and why is she out of control?" Caulifla asked.
"I didn't do anything. My guess is that she saw us working together and she felt left behind." Cabba answered. Caulifla gave him a weird look.
"It doesn't matter. Right now, we need to calm her down before she kills us." Ceriac ordered. The two soldiers transformed as they engaged her. The two soldiers evaded the wild swings of the berserk Saiyan with great difficulty. Cabba managed to plant his fist in her side only to be shot away.
"Cabba!" Ceriac cried out. Kale took the opportunity to backhand him away. She began charging a giant ball of energy. With a roar she sent the sphere at Cabba.
"HAA!" Ceriac appeared. He pushed the attack upwards as it safely detonated in the sky. His aura was different. Bio-electricity sparked around him; his hair was spikier than it was before. Caulifla floated in front of him.
"Look Kale if you're feeling jealous. Let me stop you right there." She looked back at them. "Do you think my standards are so low I would actually be attracted to these two dweebs?" Kale grunted in surprise as Caulifla continued.
"C'mon you mean the universe to me. There's no one that could come between us."
Kale's form began to shrink as she returned to her normal form. Unfortunately, the power had knocked her unconscious as she began descending. Ceriac quickly flew towards her as he caught the slumbering Kale.
He handed her to Caulifla. She looked so peaceful dozing in the arms of her friend.
"But your standards are low…..ow!" Ceriac said. Caulifla punched his shoulder.
Cabba hung back. He couldn't believe the display of power from Kale and the brief instance that Ceriac's aura was even stronger than when he first transformed.
"I came here for two strong allies, but it seems I stumbled upon another."
Next up the Tournament of Power. Let's see who's ass is gonna get kicked by Ceriac. Let me know if you have any questions, comments, suggestions, or Concerns. I also want to give credit to my Beta reader; SuperWG. Go check out his stories as well.
