The Shining Super Saiyajin

Last time, on Dragon Ball E, our new hero, Zuchin, faced off against an unknown Super Saiyajin terrorizing East City. As much as he tried, he couldn't take on his Super Saiyajin opponent. But, as fate would have it, another Super Saiyajin arrived. The new saiyajin, Okro, fought with Zuchin against his Super Saiyajin foe. But it wasn't enough… there was a huge explosion, knocking them both unconscious. What are they going to do about it? Find out, today, on Dragon Ball E!

Zuchin woke up in a cave. There was a saiyajin next to him. He looked somewhat familiar…

Zuchin backed away, jumping to his feet. "Get away from me, Kron!"

The saiyajin laughed. "You know my brother? Don't worry, I'm not like Kron. I'm Okro, remember?"

The memories flooded back, and Zuchin sat down again. "Oh, yeah… Hey, where did you learn that… beam?"

"You mean the Kamehameha Wave?"

"Sure, that."

Okro laughed. "I learned it from a friend, Son Goshin."

"Oh… who was it we were fighting?"

"Well, I'm not entirely sure, but there's speculation that he might share an ancestor with a Saiyajin from 1,000 years ago named Broly. They called Broly the 'Legendary Super Saiyajin'."

Zuchin froze, remembering words spoken to him as a child. "Every 1,000 years, a Super Saiyajin will be born… and his power will be… legendary."

Okro nodded. "Exactly. We're afraid that, the longer he stays in his Super Saiyajin form, the stronger he'll get. We know of Super Saiyajin forms beyond the first, the one you saw me in, and after seeing him transform, I'm afraid he may be able to achieve them, in a legendary form, which would be bad. We have to stop him."

"How exactly do you plan on doing that?"

"You and I are the only fighters left that I know of. We have to fu-"

It was just then that Lacy's voice sounded in Zuchin's ear. She sounded worried. "Zuchin are you there? Can you hear me? Speak to me."

"Yeah, Lacy, what's up?"

"Oh, thank God, you're alive."

"What do you mean, 'oh, thank God, you're alive'? Of course I'm alive."

"East City was completely leveled. There's nothing left."

"I know, I was there. There's a Super Saiyajin on the loose. I don't have time to explain. I have a new sparring partner. We'll keep you apprised when we can."

"Wait, wha-?" Her voice was silenced, however, by Zuchin turning off the earpiece.

"Tell me you have time."

"What do you mean?"

"A day or two you don't have to do anything."

"Yeah, sure, why?"

"I remember a video of my ancestor, Harris, talking about a room where you can get a year's training in a day."

"The Hyperbolic Time Chamber! Of course! And I can use the time to teach you fusion, too!"

"You know about the Hyperbolic Time Chamber?"

"Yeah, I'll lead the way. C'mon!"

The two flew off toward the west. Up ahead was a tall tower. Okro smiled. "That's Korin's Tower. Of course, Korin's long gone, but Garan never renamed the tower. Now it belongs to Barna."

They turned and shot straight upwards, into the sky. After what seemed like forever of traveling along the thin tower, they reached a giant, floating platform. Okro landed, looking around. "And this… is Menken's Lookout."

A funny-looking man was standing here, watering the plants. He was black, wearing Arabian clothing. He looked like a genie or something. "Ah, Okro, hello again… Who's your friend?"

"Hey, Mr. Popo. This is Zuchin."

"Hello, Zuchin. I'm Mr. Popo." Mr. Popo seemed to have a second thought and looked at Zuchin more closely. "You look familiar…"

"You might have known my great-great-great-great-great grandfather or something like that… his name was Zuchin, too, but he went by Harris. I look just like him." Zuchin smiled.

"Ah, yes, I remember him."

"We need to borrow the Hyperbolic Time Chamber."

"You know about that? How?"

"Through some videos of Harris's. You really gotta love ship logs."

"I see… Why do you need it?"

"We want to get as much training as we can done as quickly as we can, to take on that Super Saiyajin…"

"Ah, I see… in that case, let's not waste any time. This way, boys."

The two young saiyajins followed Mr. Popo to a door. "There it is."

"Thanks, Mr. Popo," Okro said softly.

Zuchin pulled the door softly open, and shielded his eyes from the bright light that spilled from the entryway. Despite almost being blinded, both boys made their way through the doorway and entered the chamber.

Inside, Zuchin looked around, and immediately pointed at one of the four-poster beds. "I call that bed."

"Whatever. Are you ready to train? You need to learn the Metamorese fusion technique."

"Fuse? No! I need to become a Super Saiyajin first!"

"You're not a Super Saiyajin?!"

"You mean you hadn't figured it out?"

"No, I didn't. Alright… Come on. I know what to do." The two moved out into the infinite white expanse that served as a training area, and Zuchin was caught off-guard by the sudden increase in gravity.

Okro and Zuchin looked at each other and, in unison, said in amazement, "Vegeta's gravity?"

Okro smiled. "That'll help training." There was a flash of gold, or at least that was all Zuchin saw, and Okro's hair had turned gold, his eyes green. "It'll help if you don't power up."

"What?" Zuchin was shocked.

"Just focus on everything negative in your life. Oh, and try to stay alive."

"WHAT?!"

"Trust me, please." Okro cupped his hands to his side. "Kaaaaameeeee…"

Zuchin braced himself as Okro lifted high up into the air. "I hope you know what you're doing…"

Okro only nodded, not wanting to talk and break his concentration. "Haaaaameeeee…" A glowing blue ball formed in his hands, light shining forth from it. Okro thrust his hands forward, the ball turning into a giant beam. "HAAAAAAAAAA!"

The beam was huge, and coming straight at Zuchin. He threw his hands out to catch it, remembering what Okro told him to do.

Images flashed through his mind. Kabba, Kron, and Nache, picking on him. His dad, dying. His mother, remarrying. Him, leaving Vegeta. Again, leaving New Namek. Crashing on Earth. Losing to that Super Saiyajin.

His dad had told him that there would one day come a time when he would become a Super Saiyajin, when he would save others from a malevolent force… but he couldn't save his own father. Tears filled his eyes, and he cried out. He'd do it for his father… "DAAAAAAD!"

Zuchin's power level exploded, shooting skyward like a rocket, and a gold aura erupted around him. His hair spiked higher, starting flashing back and forth between gold and his usual black. His eyes began to flash between green and their usual black. After several flashes, the new colors stayed, and Zuchin, more than a little angry, threw the beam aside.

Okro smiled. "See? I told you it would work."

"We should try to stay in this form for as long as possible; no rigorous training that would drain our energy."

"Wait, what?"

"Well, I was doing it with my other transformation… and I stopped using energy to transform, I could feel that much. If we can cut down our energy consumption, and maximize our energy usage, we might stand a chance."

"Shouldn't we perfect fusion first, though?"

"Well, how long does it take?"

"Not too long?"

"Then it can wait. If we don't end up having enough time in here, then we can do it out there, and have an extra pair of eyes to watch us, make sure we're doing it right, even."

"Oh, alright, fine."

"I'm hungry, where's the food?" With that, Zuchin wandered off.

So, our new heroes are training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Will the extra year of training be enough? Or will this Legendary Super Saiyajin finally be the Earth's demise? And what about Okro's constant obsession with Fusion? Next time, on Dragon Ball E!
