I couldn't see much at first while flying for the first minute, but then i began to see the red and blue stone in an upside down dome and decided to go faster. I made it to the top and landed, wondering just how this thing was floating way above the ground. I walked around, admiring the view, looking down from the edge and knowing why they called it the lookout, because it looked out over most of the planet. I heard footsteps behind me and turned around; when i did, i saw someone, but they were green, looked old and wearing a tunic that had the symbol for god on their chest. I realized that this must have been Kami, i knelt down as he approached me. He stopped right in front of me, i could somehow sense his energy, he was stronger than me, but i could feel that he was kind, gentle and with no intention to hurt me.
"I see that you have made it up to my lookout, but what for? Do you wish to be the new guardian?" I stood up and faced him, he was actually pretty tall, about a whole head taller than me.
"Um, no sir, i've come to train under you and possibly find out what i really am." He gave a slight grin.
"Alright then, i can tell that your motives are pure, i don't sense evil within you and you've completed the training with Korin i assume, very well, i'll train you."
"Really? Thank you sir, i'll do my best."
"Please, from now on just call me Kami alright?"
"Oh, ok. Kami."
"Now, before we start, i should probably tell you the answer to the question you asked. Yes, i do know what you are and your history."
Story time with Kami
You are a being known as a saiyan, a race from the planet Cauliferon. Saiyans are a warrior race, but they fight for the side of justice, that is, until a powerful tyrant known as Zoltris enslaved your planet and used its people to conquer the galaxy for him. The planet now stands as the base for the Galactic Trade Corps, where saiyans are sent off to conquer other planets in the name of Zoltris. You were one of them, but for some reason your space pod never activated the video that would have made you begin to attack the planet.
Back to reality
"So now you know the truth, anything else?" I was kind of shocked but at the same time i had more questions answered; my saiyan blood is what drove me to want to become stronger and always want to accept a challenge.
"No, i think i know enough. But i do have one more question. Can you help me control my giant monkey form?"
"Hmmmm, possibly, but a full moon won't be present for another two weeks and if i'm not mistaken, the tournament you want to enter will be in a week and a half am i right?"
"Yeah, and if the training here isn't enough to beat Stryker, then how am i supposed to without control of my form?" Kami sat there thinking, but then he had an idea.
"Wait, saiyan pods can project a hologram of the moon with the requirements to transform, maybe you have it in your pod?"
"Possibly, i'll go get it, i know where my home is from here, it should take only about an hour at most, be right back." I took off flying as fast as i could, but it took a little to get the hang of it because my power was so huge now, but eventually i got the hang of it and boosted all the way to my space pod which I've kept nice and fresh over the years. I lifted the thing and brought it up to the lookout where Kami began to inspect it.
"Ah, here it is, this should be the switch." He pushed a button and from it, projected a holographic video of some guy with black spiky hair and what looked like a variant of my body armor, except this one looked more regal. Then it began to play the pre recorded message.
"Greetings fellow saiyan, I am king Cauliferon, ruler of the saiyan race, you have been sent on a mission to conquer this planet in the name of lord Zoltris, now, most planets will fall to our might, but in case the inhabitants are too strong, your space pod has come equipped with a moon projector that will show a hologram of a full moon with the necessary radiation and requirements for the transformation into your Oozaru form, but in case the projector is damaged, your ship also comes with a training video on how to create a power ball that can mimic the effects of a full moon, learn it and you can finish a fight anywhere. Good luck on your mission and hail Zoltris!" The video ended and i had a realization on what i could do.
"Kami, i know that i'm going to need to train myself, but for a bit, do you think you could possibly help me control my transformation? If i'm not strong enough, this form could give me the boost i need"
"Hmmm, very well, he do have enough time for it. But not on the lookout, i like this place and i don't want to see it get destroyed by a rampaging giant ape. Come, i know where we can go to train." I followed Kami into the building that was in the lookout. We approached a door that didn't seem too out of the ordinary, but Kami stopped right in front of it. "This is the door that leads to the hyperbolic time chamber, a room within the lookout that moves time 365.24 times faster than that of the surface world. You can train an entire year in this place in only one day, and for the training we need to do. i think we're going to need that one year.."
"Alright, i'm ready. let's do this." He smiled at me and opened the door. When we went inside, all i could see was the building we were in and a massive, empty, white void that seemed to stretch on for an eternity. "Geez, this place is huge." I walked down the steps. but the moment i reached the actual floor of the chamber, i nearly collapsed. My body felt so heavy in an instant, i only just managed to stand up and even then it took my maximum effort to keep myself up, my tail wasn't around my waist anymore, it was hanging straight down to the ground, i couldn't support it with the gravity.
"Don't worry, you'll get accustomed to the gravity soon enough, it's ten times that of earth, but your planet is normally that gravity, plus, saiyans have the astounding ability to adapt to gravitational changes very quickly, i envy your race. Now then, you might want to put this on." He tossed me my battle suit, which now weighed like a sack of rocks. I changed into the armor and got ready to begin my training. "Now then, first thing we need to do is have you master that power ball technique the video talked about, i'll explain it to you so you don't have to go out and get your pod. What you need to do is concentrate your energy into a dense ball, but that ball needs to have the same energy and radiation projection as the full moon, you have experienced a full moon before right?"
"Yeah, i have. now, let me see here." I concentrated my energy and tried to remember what it felt like when i looked up at the full moon, i poured that thought into my energy and out came a little white condensed ball of energy. "Hey, i did it Kami."
"Good, now, throw it into the air and let the energy expand." I did just that and the ball expanded to about the size of a public bus. I stared directly at it and i could feel the change happening, i began to grow in size, my power increasing rapidly, but my self control being lost to a primitive mind. When i finished transforming, i was about 60 feet tall, but all my self control was lost. My astral being, my consciousness was trapped inside my own mind, i was in a glass case that i couldn't break out of, i began to punch it, kick it, do everything i could to break it, but i just couldn't. In front of me looked what appeared to be a control panel, but on autopilot and right above that was what looked like a screen, but it was really my eyes, looking outwards at what i was doing. My ape body was rampaging, seeming to not even notice the increased gravity, it was stomping, shooting beams everywhere, until Kami got my attention, my body looked at him fly up to the power ball and destroy it before i could grab him.
Once Kami destroyed the ball, i began to shrink in size and collapsed on the ground, unconscious.
I woke up in a bed with the guardian watching me.
"Don't worry, you'll get there in time. i was surveying your brain activity and from the looks of it, you were trying desperately hard to get control."
"Yeah, i was. It was weird, it's as if i was an astral image inside my brain, and the primitive mind of an oozaru was keeping me trapped in a glass case while putting my body on autopilot."
"Don't worry, we just need to keep working at it until you finally gain control. Now, rest up for the rest of the day. tomorrow we try again."
For the next week, we continued trying to get me to control my oozaru form, it was difficult, every time, i tried and tried, but i couldn't break the barrier, but i could see that every time i went in, it got weaker and weaker. The 9th day came and i tried again, i charged up my power ball and let it expand in the air, i looked at it and transformed. I found myself inside my mind again, but this time i was determined to gain control. I began hitting the case with all that i had, i blasted it, punched it, kicked it everywhere, but to no avail. But then, a crack began to appear, i knew my efforts weren't in vain. I concentrated all my power and let loose on that one single spot, every punch, kick and blast that landed, the crack got bigger and bigger, until eventually, the barrier shattered. My body stopped for a bit, but my astral mind didn't. I hopped into the control chair and turned on manual control; i looked out through my own eyes and realized just how big i was. I looked at Kami and actually spoke to him, but in a deep, kind of roary voice.
"IT WORKED, I'VE GAINED CONTROL OVER THE FORM. NOW THAT THIS IS DONE. LET'S GET ON WITH THE REAL TRAINING." I shot a mouth blast at the power ball, which caused it to be destroyed, i shrank back down, but after 9 days of transforming and de-transforming, i was just a little winded instead of unconscious.
"Good Job Cherik, you did well, now then. I think it's time for your real training to commence, although, at the level you're at. you're nearly equal to Stryker; but, a few days worth of training wouldn't hurt."
"Alright." So, for about a week, we continued to train in the time chamber. After the third day, i could barely even feel the gravity anymore. We continued to spar for a bit, every other day i went oozaru, just to maintain control of the form, eventually, the week passed and i decided that this was enough. We left the chamber and in reality, we were only in there for about an hour of real time, so that means i had the entire week and a half before the tournament to rest up, and from my condition, i was gonna need it.
"Well, i assume this concludes your training up here now, correct?"
"Yeah, i'm ready to take on Stryker. Thank you Kami, for all you've done. I won't forget this." With that, i took my things and flew back home to rest up before the big tournament.
Author's note: Heheh, woops. Sorry for taking so long to update, i had a few things going on. That and i was kinda lazy to not do it. But don't worry, i'll have a new chapter up soon. Anyway, keep reading, hope you guys enjoy, leave a review if you want and i'll see you next chapter.
