It's been a week since the trio had left Necropolis to further explore this world known as Paradise, needless to say this world is far larger than they had estimated. Even flying full speed is a chore when the world is this massive. After flying for what felt like an eternity they had finally made it to the edge of the southern continent towards the north. The perpetual darkness and gloom of the southern continent had finally ended and oceans of blue, above and below has appeared before them.

"Finally, the end of this endless land of death." Minerva sighs in relief. Glad to be out of the endless waves of undead that attacked them along the way. Their power levels have made it much easier to kill the denizens of the continent at this point, but they wonder how much stronger the foes on the central continent would be to it's surrounding continents.

"But we still have to cross endless oceans to arrive at another continent and," Zucca looks up slightly and in the distance she is able to notice faint outlines of land masses floating naturally in the skies, "The central continent seems to be closer than I had anticipated."

Zero glances at the continent at this world's center, "The land that floats above the clouds. The land that will lead us to liberation..."

Minerva and Zucca look at Zero as he stares into the sky dazed. He had always dreamed of such a mystical land, but no he is speechless and unable to put into words his thoughts. Soon enough he shakes his head and grins.

"The central continent isn't going anywhere," Zero says and looks to the northeast, "So lets take our time and circle around, cleaning up all of the bounties in each territories while hunting down all of those shadow dragons. Surely each of our fellow imprisoned youths could use some assistance from seasoned warriors who had already cleared out their own territories."

"That sounds like it would be bothersome but the more help we have the better. I have a feeling that not all of the dragons will be as weak as Haze." Minerva agrees.

"They better not get in our way or we will leave them to fend for themselves." Zucca herself isn't too keen on the idea of assisting potential competitors.

"Don't be like that," Zero says to Zucca, "They may have some strong ones among them. The stronger they are the more fun it will be to fight them."

"Heh. Perhaps. The strength I have been gaining since I started training with you has been phenomenal." She was obviously excited even if she still had that cold and aloof look on her face. It was true that the have been growing stronger lately, with their power levels reaching over 100,000 when they last checked. Zero was surprised and despite Zucca not knowing, he knew she was way stronger than her brother before the events of Namek. It shouldn't be too long before he should consider helping her tap into her inner fury and achieve the legendary form, Super Saiyan. For Zero he feels something else within him stirring up, a more primal and vicious power that lurks keep within his pure bloodline.

After chatting for a while the three take off into the air and speed off towards the northeast. The oceans continue on for what feels like an eternity to the three, often flying days and night until they were able to find a rare piece of land to rest on for a day or two. When they were well rest they would take off and continue on their trip.

—The Harmonious Continent of Islands and Sea, Atlantia—

The trip to the eastern continent had taken the three young saiyans well over two months of constant flying and rare moments of rest to reach. The three were relieved to finally reach the borders of the continent and had chosen to take a nice week long tropical paradise vacation using shelter made from resources of the island. Zero has those survival shows he'd watch at times to thanks for his expertly made shelters. As far as food is concerned they chose to eat what they caught rather than wasting the points required for instant delivery. There were some massive crabs crawling around and trying to crush them with their pincers, but in the end they made some tasty seafood along with tropical fruits growing on the island.

After a week of R&R they continue their journey and the trip remained uneventful until finally another week later they finally found signs of the civilization designed for another species, but what the species were they never expected.

"What the..." Zero was kinda surprised at the species they had found. "Aren't they from the species Frieza was born from?"

"Yeah..." Zucca answers his question, unsure of what she should feel.

The number of warriors in the area do not exceed 4 digits in population. It seemed that the Frost Demon's population in Paradise is quite rare and the saiyan trio couldn't help but feel a little confused when they themselves number in the thousands. The scouter detects within the numerous islands that make up this interesting city only a little above 100 people, 113 to be exact. With the highest power level being no more than a little over 30,000. Although the scouters cannot read power levels, the ki they can sense from the beings, as well as their often accurate guesses led them to make that guess. These beings have disappointing strength, but due to the environment here in Atlantia they can understand why. Soon enough the youthful warriors of the frost demon race notice the three curious saiyan warriors floating above the seas curiously looking around.

"Look! Outsiders!" One particular frost demon warrior shouts out as he began to row towards another island with small boat, catching the attention of other nearby frost demons.

"Hey! Aren't those saiyans? But I thought they were endangered or extinct?" One particular frost demon youth comments, "There are even two females, how rare!"

Zero glances at Minerva and then Zucca with a strangely confused look, "Female saiyans are rare?"

They both shrug too unable to comprehend such a comment.

"I heard that Lord Frieza, his brother, and father King Cold issued a hit list for any surviving saiyans not within the control of the World Trade Organization." A frost demon says, "female saiyans if some still survive are worth five times as much as male saiyans. These saiyans are lucky to be able to survive here in Paradise. Because outside they would be under constant threat from bounty hunters."

"WHAT!?" Zucca shouts out in half surprise and half anger and rushes up to that particular person, "Tell me everything!"

The frost demon himself was terrified and starts to stutter. He knows that if someone was able to fly then they were definitely able to complete all 3-star bounties and have great power, "I-I-I'm sorry! T-there is a rumor going around before m-most of us were abducted that L-lord F-F-Frieza was the one who exterminated the saiyans and destroyed P-Planet Vegeta. I-it's just a r-rumor though."

Zucca released the frightened frost demon and slumps down onto the ground, her expression one of confusion and devastation, "It can't be... our world is gone... father, brother..."

Minerva wasn't any better from the look on her face.

"Mother... father... my sisters and..." While she laments the lost of her parents and sisters it wasn't nearly as bad for her as she glances at Zero secretly from the corner of her eyes, "Frieza... after everything our people has done for you, this is our reward...?"

Zucca shouts out in rage and flies off away from the city and disappears over the horizon. Zero can understand her fury, her sorrow, and he can also understand that she needs to let off some steam, otherwise she might take it out on the people here born of her sworn enemy's race. With a sigh Zero hovers down to the ground and pats Minerva on her back to help soothe her sorrow.

"Sorry about your loss. "Zero says softly to comfort her with a look of worry on his face, "I cannot say I understand your feelings, but I do hope you come to feel better"

Minerva looks at Zero with her expression still with the expression of mourning, "Do... you not know anything of your family?"

"Hm..." Zero ponders for a moment before answering her, "This world, Paradise, is all i've known. I instinctively know that I am a saiyan, but other information and memories were things that the administrator has implanted in me during my nurturing. Other than that I do not know."

"I see..." Minerva looks down and begins to think. Then she turns and looks Zero in the eyes, "I have a story I want to tell you. Will you listen to my story?"

Zero notices the rare expression of seriousness in her eyes and nods. Which makes her smile faintly in gratitude.

"Thank you."

—Zucca's Rage—

"Father! Vegeta! Our kingdom and our planet! ARGH!" She shouts out in fury as she starts blasting humanoid fish like people swimming around in the water hunting fish and other lifeforms, as well as the ones on the islands around her gathering other types of meat. They glance at her with hostility as if she herself was prey too.

Some of the fish people started throwing trident like spears at her as well as ki blasts that have aquatic like properties mixed in, but she slapped away all projectiles with her hands and obliterates them in retaliation leaving behind a gruesome and bloody mess. She rushes at one and decapitates it with a kick, creating a fountain of blood from it's now headless body that showers her in it's crimson blood, making her appear as if she were a demon from hell which frightens some of the remaining fishmen into fleeing into the sea.

"Our people invaded worlds, hunted down and exterminated countless inhabitants, and even gladly offered to you the worlds. But what did you show for it? Nothing but contempt!" She blasted away another brave fishman followed by disarming an attacking fishman's trident and impaling it through the attacker's head. "You cowardly bastard feared our people's growth, feared the sacred legend of our people, the super saiyan! Afraid that if it were a true legend we would turn on you and kill you!"

Zucca starts laughing madly, "Ahahahaha! Well your right you treacherous little worm! We would have gladly wiped your arrogant ass off from the universe once and for all! You, your father King Cold, and even that calculative and ambitious brother of yours Cooler!"

After killing another fishman the rest flee leaving her alone and breathing heavily above the blood covered island and seas below. The wind begins to pick up and the energy within her body begins to flair ever so slightly in large bursts of growth, briefly the color of her aura changes from blue to a shade of silver without her notice, but in the end it returns to normal as if it never occurred. Soon the waves below begin to stir and a large number of fishmen, far stronger and larger than before appear upon the shores of the nearest island, looking at her with animosity.

"What the fuck are you fish looking at!?" She shouts out to the new group of hostile fish that had appeared, "Leave now or I will kill you all!"

The fishmen roar and growl at her furiously, not willing to let things stand as it is. Some begin to chuck their tridents at her and fire blast of ki towards her. She laughs maniacally as her aura flares, flashing between blue to silver rapidly. She curls her fingers, holds her hands together one palm over the other, and begins charging ki within her palms as she holds him at chest height to her left.

"Go fucking die you lowly fish!" The charged energy intensifies greatly as it reaches it's peak. Zucca's hair begins to flash between her usual black to silver, never staying the same long. "GALICK GUN!"

She fires a beam of purple energy directly into the group of hostile fishmen and watches as the resulting explosion engulfs every single one of them. Surprised at the power she was able to put into her normal attack, she was unable to avoid the unexpectedly powerful blast and is thrown away from the shockwave produced by the explosion and is thrown into the sea where she loses her consciousness.

Soon enough the blast occurs and the island that was once there has vanished, leaving nothing but the ocean in it's place. A frost demon nearby flies in to investigates the commotion but finds nothing except blood and limbs of numerous fishmen floating in the ocean.

"Hm? What have we here?" The frost demon examines the scene carefully before he notices the unconscious Zucca floating above the waves in the distance, "A saiyan and a woman no doubt. What was she doing out here? Did she kill all of these fishmen? No way! That's difficult for even our people's strongest warrior!"

He hovers down to her and gets a closer look. The young 11 year old she-warrior is most definitely cute, a beauty she will become in the future. He reaches down and lifts her up over his shoulder and rises up higher.

"Although she would revive, I would feel bad about leaving this girl here to drown or be preyed upon by the denizens of the sea. Back to town I guess..."

He flies off back towards Atlantia with the unconscious Zucca. She sleeps deeply, unaware of the power her rage nearly awakened. But oddly enough the power she unleashed did not resemble that of the golden warrior of legend. What was the silver aura she was on the verge of releasing?

—A Family Secret—

Minerva sits beside Zero and looks out into the sea with a look of melancholy on her face.

"There was a family, a powerful high class family of brave warriors that had faithfully carried out their missions without a single failure to their name. This family consisted of a husband, wife, twin daughters, and a younger daughter. Yet even then that was not all, for the wife of the family was pregnant and was due at any time. The youngest daughter was preparing to be sent off world for her first assignment ever, but was told that her mother had just given birth to a wonderful baby boy. She wanted to see her new brother just once before she had left on her mission, so the mission was delayed for another week after some strings were pulled."

Minerva glanced at Zero in the corner of her eyes and sighed, "When she reached their home she finds her sisters, her father, and her mother huddled around the bed staring at the newborn boy with a look of pride and joy on their face. He was born with a very high power level that only barely lost out on those born in royalty, a power level that other family's would be envious of. The child himself was also born with unusual features that even baffled the doctors. For he was born with red eyes and a tail as black as his hair, unusual features among saiyan children born of our race. Sure at some point some mutations may occur, but his were more unusual. The doctors called him a miraculous child and there was even a visit from the king during the third day after his birth."

Zero looks at her curiously, "Red eyes and black tail... just like mine?"

"Exactly," She responds with a nod, "As the young saiyan girl was on her way to take off for her first mission she hears a startling message, a saiyan newborn had gone missing. The doors to her pod was closing when she heard that the one who went missing was her own newborn little brother. She was unable to leave the pod and rush home as it had taken off and shot her into space. She was devastated and heartbroken, for her own little brother had vanished into thin air without a trace. Soon enough the ship's hibernation system kicked in and put her into slumber in which she would not awaken until she arrived in Paradise."

"..." Zero remains quiet as he listens in on her story. He is beginning to understand her underlying message.

"The girl awoken in Paradise in which she began to live and train herself, trying to put aside her depression and grow stronger, so that one day she can escape Paradise and find the brother that had went missing. Ready to punish anyone who would dare lay their hand on her family. She spent countless years in Paradise, but since time doesn't flow here it could have been a few years or even a few hundred years. But one day an interesting new saiyan child appeared in Paradise, his features shockingly similar to the child that went missing that day. Red eyes, black tail, and even the hairstyle that the males from her father's side of the family were known to inherit." She glances to Zero out of the corner of her eyes and smiles, "So for a while she would monitor the child, watching him fight and grow, and then one day she approaches the unsociable child and got to know him, much to his displeasure for course hahaha!"

At that comment Zero just shrugs indifferently.

"After spending time with the boy the girl went to the recovery center and had the machines do a genetic test on the boy and compared it to her genes and came to a shocking truth."

"No way..." Zero says as he looks at Minerva.

"The test was positive. The boy that went missing a week after his birth ended up in Paradise with the big sister that vowed to find him. Planet Vegeta and the saiyans may have been exterminated by that dog Frieza, but in the end I still have family left. Isn't that right Lotus? The administrator and his all knowing self may have not known your true saiyan name but I do."

Zero looks at her with a blank expression, one that leaves him unable to comprehend, "... Lotus?"

"That's right!" Minerva giggles and shoves him lightly on the shoulder, "You are the saiyan baby that went missing all of those years ago. The son of the proud and powerful saiyan warrior Aikon the Beast and his wife Kassava the Wild. Your two older twin sisters were Ruco and Rocu. Finally there is me, Minerva."

"I have... family?" Zero is still confused and a little shocked at this new revelation.

"That's correct my little baby brother!" She wraps her hand around him and embraces him tightly, tears forming in her eyes. "I have been waiting to tell you for a long time. It was so hard to hold myself back all this time, I was scared. After all you have known nothing in this life but this world, Paradise. My greatest desire was to destroy the administrator, punishing it for tearing away from our family the saiyan who could lead our family to new heights. Now I have two targets to go for, the administrator and the bastard who destroyed the rest of our family, Frieza!"

When she said that her fists were clenched so tight that her fingernails dug into her skin causing it to blood slightly.

Zero stares out into the sea as he thinks to himself and absorb the new information, his emotions are currently unstable causing the pupils of his eyes to glow brightly. Family was something he was unfamiliar with, also quite uncomfortable with as his family from his last life had pretty much isolated and abandoned him, just leaving enough to assure that he survived until his heart had failed in the end. His fate in his last life was inevitable, but the fact that he had negative emotions and thoughts when the term family came up brought about instability within him. Soon enough something within him snaps and he slumps over losing his own consciousness causing Minerva to shout out in fright.

"Lotus!" She starts to shaking him in panic.

'Upon awakening our true name can our true nature as a beast be unleashed. When we awaken our beastly bloodline shall emerge and evolve our power as a true beast warrior of the saiyan race. Hibernate as we become one my other self, for soon we shall be ready to grow and tear our way out of this world that imprisons us and punish those that look upon our saiyan ancestry with contempt. The universe shall flow with the blood of our enemies!'

Within Zero, or as he was named by his parents, Lotus. A strange change begins to take place as his pure latent bloodline begins to awaken a new trait. Savage, merciless, and wild beyond anything a warrior born from their race had ever experienced before in the history of their race. Not even the legend of the super saiyan had ever mentioned anything similar, or even the hidden mystery of the super saiyan god that only the higher beings have mentioned in eras long past.

Author Note: I used a saiyan name generator I found online to come up with names for his parents and older siblings. Zero's saiyan name Lotus was on there as well, but it was spelled Lottus, so I removed one of the 'T' in his name and ended up where I am now.
