Unknown Fate…

We left off when Mazin was thinking back to his young age with his best friend and his father…

The space pod crashed down in a field nearby a forest, where Mazin's anger was rising toward the Tuffles...

"I swear! I will destroy those filthy Tuffles! If I die trying, then so be it!" The small saiyan roared, already on earth. He was in the forest, with seemingly no one around. Until…

"Hey, calm down kid." The person said. "What are you getting so worked up about?"

"Huh…?" Mazin said in confusion, thinking no one was around.

"Follow me," he motioned for Mazin to follow him.

The man was a lot older than him, almost 20 years by the looks of it.

He was leading Mazin through the forest.

"You're a Saiyan, right."

Mazin was speechless that he knew, so he just nodded.

"I thought so, you look it." The man continued, "I'm Leviathan Ikari, pleasure to meet you."

"Mazin…"

There was a long period of silence then Leviathan spoke up.

"If you're wondering where I'm taking you, I'm taking you to a secluded area where my cottage is located. I want you to meet my son, Kevin."

Mazin sighed in relief since he knew he wouldn't be the only child.

"How old are you Mazin?"

"I'm 7."

"Good, because Kevin is 8 years old."

Wow, I'm glad he's my age, Mazin thought, this will make life easier.

"So, I saw your Space Pod. Normally fathers are in the same Pod as you, where is he?"

Mazin looked down and said sadly, "He died in the war with the Tuffles…"

"I've never liked the Tuffles. Always complaining about their lack of control…"

"He bought me time to escape…"

"We had a run-in with Tuffles once… he attacked my son and I mounted his head on my wall to ridicule him and threaten any other invaders."

"I will destroy those Tuffles for killing my father!" Mazin's hair flashed yellow for a second.

"Calm down, son. At least stay calm until we reach the cottage."

Mazin calmed down slowly and his hair turned back to its original orange.

A while of silence and they reached a wall of rock.

"Here she is!" Leviathan exclaimed as he pulled a lever which opened the rock wall.

Just then, a small boy, who was a few inches taller than Mazin, ran up and confronted them.

"Daddy!" shouted the small boy as he jumped into his father's arms.

"Hello Kevin, this is Mazin."

Kevin was holding back lots of excitement, "It's nice to meet you Mazin!"

Leviathan had a huge smile on his face as he held Kevin, "He's a friendly one, isn't he?"

"Hi, my name is Mazin! Nice to meet you." Mazin was cheery for a while.

Kevin gave him a tight hug and exclaimed, "Welcome to our cottage! Mother is making baked chicken for dinner!"

Mazin's mouth watered, "Baked chicken?"

"Follow me, I'll show you to the well and you can wash up." Kevin said, waving for him to follow.

When they reached the well, Kevin filled a bucket of water and handed it to Mazin.

"Wash for face and hands here."

Mazin washed himself and his armor.

Kevin was studying Mazin's armor as he said, "That's some cool armor you have, where'd you get it?"

"From my dad."

"Where's your dad?"

"He's dead… he tried to buy me some time so I could escape…"

Kevin's excited expression was gone and he hugged Mazin while tearing up.

"Do you want to be my brother?"

"Well, your family is really nice… okay!"

Kevin sniffled and smiled.

Kevin's mother shouted.

"Is everyone washed up?! It's time for dinner!"

"Yes mom!" Kevin shouted really loudly.

"We mustn't keep mother waiting," Mazin said.

Kevin nodded and said, "And also, Mother has us say grace before eating and she likes proper manners at the dinner table."

"Don't worry, my dad taught me. But.." He paused for a second and chuckled, "his food wasn't very great…"

"Mother's food is amazing. It has so much flavour because she has a secret to her baking that she'll never tell us because I'm being taught manners and fighting so it'll be hard for me to learn 3 things at one time."

Mazin's mouth was watering just thinking about it.

"I'm glad that I have a best friend to train with!"

"Me too!"

They hugged.

Just then, mother shouted, "Kids! Time for dinner!"

"Coming mother!" Kevin shouted.

They ran to the cottage to prepare to eat…

Much cliffhanger such annoyance.

Please review and tell us your thoughts about it and what we need to change.
