Kuzuku woke up earlier than he anticipated and began some early morning training to pass the time. He made sure that he didn't wake up his sleeping beauty from her slumber. After some routines, After several hours, Kuzuku was about to head back inside until someone appeared right behind him, startling him a bit in the process. He turned around to see Kibito Kai along the side of the Supreme and Elder Kai.
"Morning you guys, so what brings you here this early." Kuzuku greeted
"Can we come inside Kuzuku, we need to talk about something that is of grave importance" Supreme Kai asked. Kuzuku gave a puzzled look but nodded anyway, leading the three observers of the universe into his home. As they all were taking their seats around the table, 21 had just walked out of the room with one of Kuzuku's white tank top on and into the kitchen. She seemed to have not caught whim of the new guest that had entered the home until she found herself scavenging through the fridge.
"Huh? Kuzuku what brings the Supreme Kai and his companions here? By the way good morning." 21 questioned.
"Morning to you to 21, they said that they had something of great importance to discuss with me so I allowed them to come inside so that I can hear them out," Kuzuku explained.
"Yes, and it has something to do with the person that you've encountered yesterday and inevitably fought. We heard from Gohan that you were beaten by someone." Kibito said.
"We've come to ask you if he gave you his name before he knocked you out." Supreme Kai added.
"Yeah, he said that his name was Kugeki, do you know him?" Kuzuku nodded. There was a dead silence in the room.
"So the rumors are true, he's reemerged after all these years." Elder Kai muttered. The Saiyan, Majin couple looked at each other in curiosity as to what was going on. They waiting patiently for the Kai's to collect their thoughts before they go on to explain what or who this guy may be and what he may be after.
"For you two to fully understand the story behind all this we must go back to the earlier age when Beerus was more active than he usually was. During that time he was seeking strong opponents ever since he was regarded as the strongest amongst the Gods of Destructions from the various other universes." Elder Kai spoke.
"Eventually, he came up with an idea that was pretty much influenced by the ways of universes like number 11. He decided he wanted to take under a disciple to train so that eventually he'd meet his standards. His plan seemed to be going fine since he chose someone from a race that has a long lifespan but there were things that went completely wrong. For starters, Beerus not only got bored of him, he thought that he didn't have the capacity to be a God of Destruction so he outcasted him from his planet. He must have seen the same thing that I saw in him when we met for the first time and that was his everlasting lust for nothing but power and destruction. You'd think that is the ideal mindset for being a God of Destruction but that isn't the case. The Supreme Kai's are merely to guide mortals to achievements and new heights so societies can thrive in peace as well of being strong while Gods of Destruction are meant to destroy those societies that are seen to have no hope or are a bad influence on the universe or be a pillar to force people to obey and strive further. But of course you know Beerus is lenient and selfish on his job." Elder Kai emphasized.
"So you're saying that Kugeki was that disciple that trained under Beerus long ago? Is that the reason why his power was so similar to Beerus?" Kuzuku asked as he finally got done processing all the information.
"Yes, that is precisely the case." Elder Kai confirmed.
"Then why is he after Goku and Vegeta? What's his agenda?" Kuzuku questioned further.
"If I can take a guess then he probably wants to prove to himself that he is stronger than the current 'disciples' that are training under Whis. He must have heard from their prowess or sensed their power at some point most likely during the universal tournament. But as for right now, what I feared he may be trying to do is overthrow the universe out of revenge." Elder Kai answered. The atmosphere thickened at those words that essentially couldn't be sliced through even with a two thousand degrees knife. That was when Elder Kai added.
"That is why we came here, not only to inform you of what you were dealing with but also to give you a proposition.".
"And what is that proposition that you speak of?" Kuzuku raised an eyebrow.
"I will offer you extensive training to make you stronger. I can feel your struggles and I think I can aid you with that. Will you accept?" Elder Kai said as if that was an actual question to a Saiyan.
"Of course I will, why wouldn't I?" Kuzuku smirked. At that the three guests got up from their seats and group themselves together, preparing to head back to their realm.
"Good then stop by any time with your instant transmission, we will be waiting for your arrival.". With those last words, they were gone, leaving no trace of them ever being here in a mere instant. Kuzuku sighed and got up from his seat to go get ready until he felt a grab wrap itself around his arm.
"Can...we talk?" 21 murmured. Kuzuku turned around to see her face hidden behind her hair. He was completely perplexed as to what she wanted to talk about.
"Kuzuku do you really have to do this?" She asked, shocking the Saiyan with this question.
"Huh, why do you ask that 21?" Kuzuku said.
"It's just that we were having such wonderful moments within these nine months and I think this is a job for Goku and Vegeta to handle. We can simply pass this all off and go on living peacefully, away from all the potential dying out of the blue or near death situations. It scares me that one day if you were to die then we may never be able to bring you back." 21 confessed. Kuzuku comforted her shivering body and placed his chin upon her head as he rubbed her back.
"Look, as much as I want to be there with you, I can't shy away from this. Gohan taught me one thing when he stopped training against the likes of Frieza and guess what happens when Goku and Vegeta couldn't make it in time? He was nearly killed by simply being too weak which lead to him telling me that not training and relying upon his father and Vegeta will only be delaying the inevitable. At some point, there will be foes that Goku and Vegeta will not be able to handle on their own which is why I train to become stronger every day, so I can protect you from getting hurt or worse. I know this may be selfish of me to do but I can't run away from this, not only because of my Saiyan blood but also because it's something I must do." Kuzuku paused.
"So let's make an oath, that despite how much we may be in despair that there will still be hope in the future for us to live together. Even if I were to die one day, just remember that I will always be with you." Kuzuku smiled. 21 stopped shivering as that was what she admired about him, his selflessness and awareness for other are seemingly unbound. She felt like she was being too needy, asking too much of him with nothing in return.
"Fine I guess I can cope with this once more..." 21 whispered as she pulled back to wipe the tears away. Kuzuku cupped her cheek and leaned in, kissing her before he went to change into his Gi and instant transmission to the world of the Kai's.
-Instant Transmission SFX-
Kuzuku appeared in the sacred world of the Kai in no time. He looked around to take in the image of the lushes green environment, only to be disrupted by the sound of someone clearing their throat to gain his attention.
"I take that you being here so fast, means that you're more eager to train?" Elder Kai said. Kuzuku turned around to nod at the old Kai.
"Good then let's not waste any more time. Goku and Vegeta are currently training with Whis and at the moment Beerus is taking one of his routine naps so he is going to be out for quite a while." Elder Kai noted.
"So at the moment, if Earth were to ever get an attack, it'd be up to Gohan and the others to defend for themselves since I am here now?" Kuzuku asked. Elder Kai shook his head in seriousness, noting that his intuition was right.
"Now Kuzuku, have you noticed that your body, when transformed into a Super Saiyan 4, has been constricting itself to a certain power outage despite using that Ultra-Super Saiyan 4 transformation or whatever you call it?" Elder Kai asked.
"Wait what do you mean by that?" Kuzuku puzzled.
"I see so you don't know, when the Super Saiyan from back then was actually alive within the universe, he achieved levels beyond that of a normal Super Saiyans, nothing like how you guys achieved Super Saiyan grades and mastered the form but he actually manage to skip over what you guys call Super Saiyan 2 and 3. The form you've acquired seems to be the same form." Elder Kai said.
"But, upon achieving this power the Saiyan's body couldn't handle the enormous output of the form and inevitably died due to it, but you on the other hand is billions upon billions of times stronger than that Saiyan so you were able to endure the form with minimal effort. You can also thank the fact you achieve and mastered Super Saiyan 3. But after some time observing you, I've come to see something rather odd." The Old Kaioshin noted.
"And what did you notice about my transformation? Is it the fact that when I pushed my power to my limit that I can't go any further than that?" Kuzuku asked
"Something like that but also the fact that your form seems to be holding back an even greater amount of power that is hidden. Like another plateau of power of true Saiyan evolution. Think of it like this, you have an endless ocean worth of power at your disposal and your body is a lake. But the twist is that the endless ocean seems to be blocked by a large dam. Your goal is to essentially to try to break the chains that holds this dam up but yet no matter how far you push yourself through training, the dam's chains doesn't even have a crack in it." Elder Kai explained.
"So if I am limited to a certain amount of power I can use then how do I go about breaking this so-called limiter or accessing this new plateau?" Kuzuku asked.
"That's where I come in my boy. You Saiyans seem to break through your limits by abusing one of the three things. One is your ability to get stronger through Zenkais or recovering from a near-death situation so that you can shatter your limits and break new heights. Two is through training and fighting as the more you train and fight, the faster you progress but in your case, we can't do that since your very own transformation is limiting you. The last one is through your emotions through which when you seem to get angry, sad, excited, or any emotion that would give you exponential energy to do something, you Saiyans seem to raise your power even more. That is what I am going to do to shatter your limits by drawing out your emotions temporarily so that you can rapidly increase your strength just enough to break that barrier. You aren't getting stronger as an individual but as a Super Saiyan 4 in general." Elder Kai revealed.
"It sounds like it could work but if we were to go by that how would we go about bringing out my emotions to where we can abuse this exploit and why would I only get stronger as just a Super Saiyan 4 through this method?" Kuzuku asked.
"That my boy is simply because just like emotional or hysterical strength, it comes and goes as it pleased. Remember the method will push you far enough to break the barrier by overcoming your emotions and forcefully direct the power into shattering that limitation that the form gives. As for the method I will be utilizing a technique that I used to use long ago." Elder Kai answered.
"Technique?" Kuzuku muttered.
"Yes, I think I know the technique he may be foreshadowing about. Long ago, I heard that some of the most powerful Kai's used a technique that crippled his foes through the use of emotional manipulation at high speeds. Which means that not only this will be physically draining but also mentally drained to the point where you could die? Knowing that, do you still want to go through with this? Even if you achieve this new power, we don't know if you can handle it." Supreme Kai added. Kuzuku thought for a moment until he gave him a nod.
"Heheheheh, whippersnapper has guts, now let's get started and I will warn you that this type of training could take days on end so you better brace yourself and harden your will." Supreme Kai said.
"Don't worry my will is strong as it is," Kuzuku assured.
"Alright then, Emotional Divine Wave!" Elder Kai shouted, firing a beam that struck Kuzuku and making the Saiyan's body tense up. Various strong emotions such as Anger, Sadness, Pleasure, Joy, Spitefulness, and yes even Murderous Intent were all coursing through his mind at once at an alarming rate so much so that his head started to pound so hard that he felt that he was going to explode.
"GRAGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Kuzuku screamed in agony, letting out all of the stress so that it can echo throughout the world of the Kais.
Somewhere Across The Vast Cosmos
On an unknown planet that consists of mostly a snowy environment stood an old abandoned, building that was standing its ground against the high winds generated from the storm. Inside was a spacious hanger that had many barrels and crates that contained food and alcohol in them. Masked by the darkness was various minions that seemed to be hanging around a familiar face that had just visited Earth. What was also visible was a giant weapon and machinery that seemed to be towering over everything else
"So boss, what are you going to do since they aren't there? Should we look somehwere else?" One henchmen asked. Kugeki opened his eyes that illuminated a glow from them. He smirked devilishly when a thought came to mind.
"I know what I'll do, we will simply endanger the inhabitants of the planet until we find their family and hold them hostage until they force themselves to comeback." Kugeki commanded as he hopped down off his railing. Not too long after those words, he and his crew were gone in a flash as the hideout roof was blown completely off. Every fighter on Earth could sense the threat that was approaching the planet at alarming speeds. Knowing that Goku, Vegeta, and Kuzuku are now training, they are left to defend for themselves against this new adversary. They've all gotten stronger in these past nine months but the question still lingers in their mind. Will they be enough protect this planet with their own power?
