The school day went by rather quickly today. Kuzuku even had a good time as he and Ace had loads of fun of just chatting and messing around. As Kuzuku was getting done with packing his stuff into his locker, he suddenly felt force trying to push him. Kuzuku then looked at the source to find Glade trying to shove him out of nowhere. And to no prevail he failed as he struggled to move him. He mentally thought "Kami! How much does this guy weigh!?". When Glade stop trying he was breathing heavily from exerted too much energy. Kuzuku was then given a glare as Glade walks away mumbling curses to himself. All Kuzuku could muster was a small chuckle. He was glad that he trained so hard or otherwise he'd be bullied for the rest of his high school career. He was also glad that he was a saiyan but he sometimes feels that it was somewhat a curse to be born saiyan. I mean he loved being the last of his race but it always hindered him from living in secret as he has to watch his strength at almost all times. One miss step would of accidentally kill someone and he only was allowed to let loose when he was either training or sparring with one of the Z fighters. The plus side was that it fueled Kuzuku's battle spirit even more as it was simply part of his nature. Throughout the flight home he was pondering on how to get stronger. He could obtain Super Saiyan 3 but from what he experienced from his training towards Super Saiyan 2 and from what Goku stated, he diverted from the idea for now. Then suddenly an idea came to him.

"Hold on why don't I try to use Kaioken with Super Saiyan 2" Kuzuku says out loud

Soon as Kuzuku lands home and changes into his combat Gi for training he hears a knock at his front door. As Kuzuku opened the door he is met with Gohan in his orange Gi that resembled his father.

"Hey Sensei long time no see!"

"Hi Kuzuku I've seen you've grown." Gohan greets

Gohan recently has been training to get back into shape. As of now he was a whole lot more powerful than his previous self.

"Yea you can say that. So what brings you here?" Kuzuku asks

'Well as I can see your already dress. I was stopping by to get some training in since my job finally let me off the hook because of my efforts in raising the companies earnings by a significant amount. " Gohan explains

"Sure its been a while since we've trained together." Kuzuku agrees

As the two took off and arrived at their training ground they both did their trivial warm-ups and got into sparring position.

"You ready for this Sensei? I won't be pulling my punches." Kuzuku says confidently.

"Yeah whenever you are. I heard you've gotten a whole lot stronger due to you training with Vegeta." Gohan answers.

"Oh you have no idea" Kuzuku smirks as he begins to power up and erupted in a large golden aura. As the immense energy receded, Kuzuku was now surrounded in gold with electricity.

"Whoa so you finally achieved Super Saiyan 2? Man I can feel your new strength its kinda insane as of now. I mean you were already stronger than my Ultimate form when I fought Buu." Gohan complements

"Well Sensei I did work very hard and besides it was thanks to you and the others that I've gotten this far." Kuzuku responds

Gohan nodded and powered up as well. Gohan's Ultimate form had taken a step towards new levels. As they stare down each other Gohan took it upon himself to make the first move. Gohan dashes and unleashes a flurry of kicks and punches, pushing Kuzuku back as he block and dodge the onslaught. In mere moments Kuzuku was finally gaining ground as he countered, each time he blocked or dodged with a few combos of his own. Every moment they would vanish and reappear in seconds in a different location, still clashing without letting up. Kuzuku decided to kick it up the gears as he swiftly dodges around Gohan's right punch and delivers a spinning elbow in one motion. This sent Gohan flying as the tailed boy dashed under Gohan and kicked him into the air. Gohan recovered to see that Kuzuku had disappear from his sight. Sensing Kuzuku's Ki he turned around to block a oncoming punch from Kuzuku and continued a flurry of kicks and punches. As the fight drag'd on from there, Kuzuku was getting tired and was desperately trying to finish the match fast. To Kuzuku distraught he was taken by surprise when Gohan landed a kick in his stomach, sending Kuzuku crashing through the forest and into a nearby rock formation.

"Damn even in Super Saiyan 2 I can't keep trading blows with him like this!" Kuzuku grunted

Kuzuku then dashed out of the rubble and charged at Gohan as he began to touch the ground. As soon Kuzuku got close he fired a Ki blast towards the ground like his fight with Vegeta but this time large chunks of rubble was surrounding the two. In that moment Kuzuku disappeared from sight and Gohan was having a hard time finding him. In slow motion Kuzuku revealed himself behind one of the rubble and kicked Gohan in the face causing him to skid backwards. Kuzuku felt a sense of success until Gohan revealed almost unaffected by this.

"Crap I am so worn out that my attacks are not even fazing him." Kuzuku thought with worry

Gohan dashes at Kuzuku with the intent to finish this fight.

"Welp time to try this out. I got nothing to lose." Kuzuku planned

In a split moment of Gohan's assault, Kuzuku yelled out loud

"Kaioken!"

Kuzuku dodge at incredible speed to and went in for a swift punch at Gohan. Gohan smirked and dodge out of the way by moving to the left of the punch.

"Uh oh..." Kuzuku cursed mentally

What happened next was that the mere air pressure of his punched leveled the whole forest with in that direction. Soon after Gohan delivered the game ending attack at point blank range.

"MASEKO!" Gohan yells as the blast engulf Kuzuku and explodes. Soon afterwards Kuzuku was on the ground in defeat. Gohan walked over to him with two senzu beans in his hand. As Gohan made it to Kuzuku he couldn't help but notice that the arm that Kuzuku punched with was severely damaged with cuts all over and bruised up completely. Gohan gave Kuzuku the bean as soon as possible and Kuzuku got up completely healed.

"Man that was intense! Looks like I've got a long way to go to catch up with you Sensei!" Kuzuku says with excitement

"Yeah but hey Kuzuku that last punch back there had a lot of force compared to your previous ones. What did you do?" Gohan asked.

"Well I was thinking of a faster way to get stronger and I came up with the idea of using Super Saiyan 2 with Kaioken." Kuzuku explained

"I see well you best be careful Kuzuku it seems that you and my dad are messing around with something dangerous." Gohan warned

"Huh what do you mean?" Kuzuku asked

"Well my father came up with idea of using Super Saiyan Blue with Kaioken first in the tournament against universe 6. To his extent he stated that it was probably only possible because Blue had the Ki control to maintain it. Of course knowing my father he eventually gained great control over this combination but I never thought that it would be possible as a ordinary Super Saiyan since using Kaioken would cause too much strain when paired with the regular Saiyan forms." Gohan explained

"I guess there is some degree of success but the reason I say to be careful is because after I knocked you out I took a look at the arm you punched with and it looked pretty bad. In my dads case. The first time he used it, his Ki was all out of wack for a day. Your lucky to not have gone through that." Gohan added

Kuzuku held his chin in deep thought. "Damn I guess using this technique has its risk. It did that much damage to my arm with just Kaioken and I didn't even use times 2 let alone times 4. But eh that won't stop me."

"Well Kuzuku its about time for my dinner so I am going take my leave for now. By the way how's school going for you?" Gohan asks

"School been fun. I have a friend called Ace but the classes seem to bore me since I am way ahead of the schools curriculum. Also I somehow came to make enemies with some of the popular kids." Kuzuku chuckles.

"Well that's nice, hey when I was in high school I know how it feels to sit through subjects you already know about. And hey don't let those bullies get to you, at least you have a friend that looks out for you." Gohan responds

"Thanks Gohan. I needed that." he nods

"Well I will see you around Kuzuku." Gohan says as he begins to fly off

"See ya Gohan and thanks for the training today." Kuzuku yells to his sensei with his tail twitching around.

As Gohan disappears into the distance, Kuzuku then begins to continue his training in mastering Kaioken with Super Saiyan 2. When he finished for today went home and went to bed. Before he could fall asleep he saw a glimpse of moving object disappear as fast as a shooting star. Kuzuku passed this off as nothing to worried about and went to sleep.

Scenery Change

A small boy was sitting on a roof top by himself, staring down at the village. He watched as he saw the people of the village go about their daily activities but one thing that struck the boy was the sight of mothers and fathers happy with their child. The boy's heart at that moment had a small whole that he'd hope to replace in the near future.

"Kuzuku!, Kuzuku! Where have you gone!?" a woman with long light purple hair that matched her skin skin shouted shouted. She had white clear eyes and was wearing a nun outfit that belongs to a church.

"I am right here Nana!" little Kuzuku yelled. At this point of time Kuzuku was 10 years old before he makes a 5 year long journey to Earth. He jumped down and ran to the woman.

"Kuzuku I told you that you shouldn't run off by yourself"Nana scolded

"Sorry Nana I wanted to check out the village again. Everyone looked so happy." Kuzuku said as he unconsciously as he darted his eyes to the family he saw earlier. Nana notice this and was now aware of his real reason. Kuzuku eyes then darted downwards and whispered.

"Nana...do you think I will ever have a family or that I wasn't even deserving to be born?"

This struck Nana by surprise but then she instantly rushes over to hug Kuzuku with tears in her eyes.

"Don't say that Kuzuku. Everyone will find a family that would love them eventually. Even if it doesn't happen right away you should never believe that you are not deserving to be born."

All Kuzuku could feel was small tears streaking down his face at these words. Nana was the nicest person he encountered as she would always be the one to take care of him at the orphanage and would educate him a lot.

"Thanks Nana!" Kuzuku said with a smile on his face as tears were still coming out. Nana smiled at this.

"Now lets get back, you have to take a bath to stay clean" she says.

As the two were walking into the orphanage with Kuzuku tail twitching around happily he couldn't help but feel the stares he got every time he and Nana would walk back through the village. As Kuzuku was beginning to walk up stares to take a bath he couldn't help to hear the nasty comments.

"Uh its that thing."

"How could a church this pure host such a murderous creature."

"Yeah I know I mean all Saiyans are evil and barbaric even if this one is just a boy."

"Saiyans" he thought. "They said those things because I am this Saiyan? What even is that?"

Kuzuku chose to ignore those harsh words and proceeded to take his bath and continue his daily education from Nana. Kuzuku at the time was completely unaware of his origin so he didn't know what he was until he landed on Earth. Kuzuku was used to those type of harsh insults. During his entire time on the planet all he ever experienced was harsh treatment towards him by the other villagers as they threw rocks at him, glared at him whenever he passes by, and even sometimes sneak into his room and write nasty comments on the wall with spray paint. As bedtime came around and Kuzuku was vast asleep he couldn't help but be startled awake when a loud boom came about. Kuzuku instinctively ran out of his room to see what was going on when he noticed the place was on fire.

"KUZUKU! KUZUKU! COME WE HAVE TO GO!" Nana screamed as she found him.

Kuzuku didn't say anything but ran to Nana as she picked him up and took off into a full sprint outside. The sight looked like pandemonium as the village was completely set ablaze with screams being heard in all corners. Nana was still in a full sprint through the village as Kuzuku was struck with horror to see so many corpses. Some more deformed than the last as he even saw children among the dead bodies. Kuzuku looks up into the sky to see a spaceship with soldiers pouring out of it, causing havoc everywhere they go. They had blasters in their hand and was killing people left and right and grabbed what ever jewels or diamonds that they can find. At this, Nana already reached her destination in as she sprinted through the forest. What was revealed was a spaceship that could house 4 people at max. She opened the door and went to the control panel to set the coordinates. Kuzuku was placed near a window and heard banging against the door. Nana then grab Kuzuku and placed him in a nearby closet with slight gaps. The door busted open to reveal the attackers. Nana stood tall and was never wavering.

"I heard this planet was keeping a saiyan boy. He would make a fine fortune in the black market so now I ask. 'Where is he'." the man said with killing intent.

"I will never give away my little one to you brutes so leave!" Nana exclaimed

"Lady I will count to 5. If you don't tell me where he is then I will kill you right here and now." the man simply stated

Nana smirked " Then you are gonna waste your time counting". It was at this that she gave a comforting smile at Kuzuku and was instantly shot through the chest by the blasters. Kuzuku was too shocked to scream as he watched his guardian die in front of him. The man grunted and took out what seem to be a communicator.

"Search the forest he may still be here somewhere if not we will leave for now." the man grunted as he left the ship.

As time passed the attackers gave up their search and left the planet and on cue, it started to rain heavily. The ship was dark as Kuzuku opened the closet door and slowly walk to Nana's body.

"Ku...zu..ku" Nana opened her eyes weakly. It was faded in color as Kuzuku got on his knee to comfort Nana. Tears then hit Nana face as Kuzuku was starting to cry.

"Be strong Kuzuku... I... need you to live...a life.. where you can...smile"she starts off with a slight smile.

"Don't worry...everything's... ok now..." she cuff up blood making Kuzuku worry. She weakly move her hand behind Kuzuku and pull his forehead to her's.

"Always remember... that I loved you and I... hope you grow up with a stronger smile than before... one that would help others." She says as she takes her last breath and dies with a smile on her face. Kuzuku lips begin to quiver as tears were now pouring out. In seconds all he could hear was silents but to a bystander's perspective, you can hear the screams of agony of a boy who lost a love one.

Morning

Kuzuku shot up out of bed with a cold sweat. He had just gone through a dream that was reoccurring the events of that day. Kuzuku walked over to the bathroom to splash himself with water and looked at the clock. 5:45 AM. Kuzuku decided it was best that he tried to repress the memory and go down to make breakfast. He was unsuccessful yesterday trying to master kaioken with Super Saiyan 2. He was at least making progress to where he can hold it for 30 seconds and it no longer broke his limps after one punch. Kuzuku slowly got dressed for school and took off to school early today. Thankfully there was no crime this morning so he landed on the school rooftop and decided to chill till school starts.
