It has occurred to me that I may have not been fully clear when I said it first, so I will explain. This is not intended to be a story where an OC becomes romantically involved with a character from dragon ball, it is supposed to be a telling of his life and how they came to be who they are now, and if I put in a romantic element, it wont be between an OC and a main character, it will most likely be between two OCs that I have crafted for each other...hmm...That gives me an idea.
By the time that Nikal stopped crying, you could hear the parade approaching, so Taalon and Nikal walked out to watch. It was a very exquisite event, there were probably over 10,000 people there watching, and Nikal was having the time of his life (Which is quite a turnaround from a few minutes ago), Nikal had split from his father a few minutes before, after deciding that he wanted to explore. He wandered through the crowds for a while and had started to head back when he heard.
"Hey, it's Lord Frieza!"
Now this Nikal had to see, he immediately rushed through the onlookers to the front of the crowd, trying to get a glimpse, and then he saw him. Sitting in his chair, at the middle of the parade, was Lord Frieza.
He seemed shorter than expected, but that didn't matter to Nikal, he was too amazed to notice, he stared at him in awe as he passed, waving to the people watching, until he set his sights on Nikal. He locked eyes with Nikal for a split second before turning away, then, he turned back, looking at him more intently. Nikal looked at him, somewhat confused, before smiling and waving, Frieza, then realizing who it was, smiled, then returned the wave before moving on. Nikal then, his curiosity more than satisfied, left the front and set off to find his father. It hadn't been more than five minutes when-.
"Hey! It's the freak!" said a far off voice.
Nikal turned to see Polaris
"What do you want now?" said Nikal.
"I was just passing by when I thought I spotted you, you cobbled together abomination."
"Be quiet, we all know your just blowing smoke."
"You know, I have been wondering, were the two halves this annoying, or was that a side effect of you being sloppily pasted together?"
"I said, shut up!"
Nikal normally wouldn't be this upset about this insult, he usually kept his temper in check pretty well, but after being teased and bullied for the past month, he was starting to get tired of it, also, for some reason, Polaris insulting the other two children bothered him, it bothered him to a point where he wanted to burst.
Polaris smiled, he had finally gotten what he wanted, a reaction. "So, it seems I've struck a nerve, well then, let's get down to business." He gestured to his two comrades.
The two behind him disappeared. The next thing Nikal noticed was that his arms were being held behind his back. He tried to shake loose but before he could Polaris was already letting loose a torrent of blows to his stomach.
"I can't tell you how much I've wanted to do this, Nikal. You act all high and mighty, like you're an ordinary kid, well you're not, you're a freak, two pieces of s**t hastily slapped together, and now, I'm going to take you back apart." He threw the final punch.
It didn't make contact, as he threw the punch, something came flying at him from the side, sending him sprawling, and the other two kids looked managed to keep hold of Nikal as he struggled to get free. They saw Corvin standing there, walking over to Polaris as he tried to get up.
"What did I just get done telling you, I just told you all that I was going to teach you a lesson if I caught you doing this again, and yet, here you are, I swear, you guys are dumber than-." Her sentence was cut off as Polaris grabbed her leg and threw her to the ground. He got up and started to deliver a series of punches to Corvin's stomach, then, as she managed to get up, he threw one final punch, causing her to crumple to the ground.
"You know, I said I don't hit girls, but I think I can make an exception for you, and when I'm done, I'm gonna break Nikal." He turned to Nikal. "And you, your just a freak, two pieces of s**t cobbled together, and you try to say that you are normal, it makes me sick, your parents must be ashamed of you."
Nikal looked up, his eyes wide in rage.
"What did you just say?"
"I called you a freak, that's all you are, just a freak." He turned back to Corvin, then he stopped when from behind him a bright light started to shine, he turned and saw Nikal standing there, an aura of Ki surrounding him. "Wh…what the hell?"
"I…you…that…that tears it…I'll make sure you…never…bother us…AGAAAAAAIIIIIIIN!" Nikal burst with a spectrum of white light, blinding everyone in the vicinity.
Nikal screamed as power filled his very being, he could feel it oozing from every possible place, bursting into the massive aura around him, he had never known that he had so much power, that he could go this high, he had never really tested his abilities, his father had forbidden it, and now, he could see why. It was painful, but Nikal didn't really notice all he could think about was the fact that he was tired of being mocked; he was tired of being laughed at, of being beaten up. That day was the day, the day he decided that he wasn't going to stomach it anymore. His power kept on rising, passing limits that not even Frieza had imagined, the power that the fusion had given him, that the two children had died giving him, and he was tired of hiding it, he was going to let it all go, in one spectacular show of his strength. Nearby scouters exploded, unable to take the pressure of the Ki swelling around them, wind increased in speed, knocking down trees, and sending splinters flying at many miles per hour, the sky churned, now turned to a dark grey, lightning struck the ground, uprooting plants and vegetation, televisions covering the parade lost signal, and then exploded from the force, rivers and oceans flooded, forming tidal waves across the continent, the planet itself shook to its core, tearing buildings to the ground, and still, the power kept rising, Nikal continued to power up, pushing barriers that hadn't been reached in eons. Then he hit a plateau, unable to raise despite the fact that he could feel more power inside. He stood there charging and charging until the energy started to boil over, he knew that he had more, but he didn't know how to make it come out. Then, as the power started to strain on him, he felt it, another burst coming, he started to charge again, causing more destruction around him, and as he reached the limit, he gave one final push.
FWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
Nikal transformed for the first time.
Frieza was having a fairly okay day, that is, until the giant pillar of light erupted from behind the crowd. He had decided that he was going to go to the parade just that morning, and now that he had, he was glad that he did. It had been fun event, which seems odd, considering the fact that we are talking about Frieza, but on rare occasion, he did enjoy relaxing and, well, I guess he is kind of showing off the power of his army, but overall, today was going pretty well.
About an hour into the parade, Frieza got the unshakable feeling that he was being watched. Now, being Frieza, he didn't show this outwardly, he just continued to smile and wave, and he did so for about an 5 minutes, then, he looked over to the crowd, and saw a child, nothing special about him, just a child, so Frieza turned away just as quickly as he had looked. He then stopped, something was familiar about the boy, he turned back, and that's when it hit him.
It's the kid from five years ago.
Frieza looked and stared at him, shocked that he was here, and then he looked at him again. The boy was completely oblivious to the fact that he was being stared at, he was simply in awe of Frieza. It was then that Frieza realized the child had no idea of his own power, that he didn't know that he could be the only one to stand a chance against Frieza (of course, he could probably do more than just that), feeling relieved by this, Frieza smiled and waved to him, and was even more relieved when he saw the boy's face light up, before waving and melting back into the crowd.
Taalon must have not told him of his strength. Thought Frieza, he looked back to see the boy was now gone, and he actually sighed in relief. He continued on with the parade for about another five minutes before he stopped, once again feeling that something wasn't right.
Through the sounds of cheering and the sounds of the bands, Frieza felt as though he could hear something else, the sound of someone charging Ki. He looked around to see if he could get a view, perhaps one of the protesters had gotten out of hand and one of his soldiers was taking care of it, that hope was dashed when he looked over the crowd and saw the boy, an aura of white Ki surrounding him. Frieza slowly felt fear creep into his heart, and then he noticed that the boy was facing away from him, and was looking towards some other children. The sky went dark at that point, lightning started to strike the ground near the bystanders feet, the wind picked up, and the ground started to shake. Frieza then put on his scouter to try and gauge the power the child was putting out. It scanned for about 2 seconds before exploding, but that was all it needed for it to etch the number (which was still rising by the way) into his mind.
525,000,000
Frieza stepped back, fear starting to take over, he peered over the now panicking crowd and saw that the boy was still powering up, the light surrounding him getting brighter and brighter as he did so. Then he started to see cracks forming on the plates covering him, white light filling and tearing open the cracks, until finally.
FWWOOOOOOOMMM
Frieza watched as light consumed the child known as Nikal, and then, everything went white.
Age 753, 4th Season.
The light had faded away. Everyone stood there, staring in fear at the pulsing aura in the center of the crater; Frieza had managed to get up from the spot where he had been thrown, and was currently watching in interest as his future bodyguard made his debut.
Nikal was taller, tall enough to pass as 14, maybe 15 years old. His green plates had become brighter, more reflective, and his gems glowed with an unnatural white light, but the strangest thing was the fact that he was now wearing a vest; it was white with strange orange poofy things on the shoulders, and also he was wearing some baggy white pants to match. Overall, he seemed otherworldly, as if he had broken a barrier that was sealed shut millennia ago, now he stood there, only one thing on his mind…making Polaris pay.
He watched him as he sat on the ground, terrified out of his mind, just now realizing what he had awoken, he wasn't the only one, most of the people who hadn't ran were just sitting there, as if they were too scared to move.
"You should have left well enough alone."
"Wha…what the hell…what are you?"
"I am Nikal, I am the Child of Taalon and Celestin, and the 17th ranking noble in The Frieza Empire, and I… am… the Gamma Child!"
Nikal vanished, about a second later; he was in front of him, Polaris tried to throw a punch, but was instantly blown back, he got up, and attempted to rush Nikal. He disappeared, and then promptly reappeared after Nikal drove his fist into his stomach, knocking him several feet away; the two kids who came with Polaris then rushed in, the first one managed to circle around and came at Nikal with a sweeping kick, the kick stopped just short of Nikal, who was holding said leg in his right hand, the kid was then aware of a fast approaching wall before he crashed into the side of a building, knocking him unconscious. The second opponent in the meantime had come up and threw an overhead strike, it actually connected, which seemed good at first, and then the he looked to see Nikal just watching him, eyes filled with hate. Nikal grabbed the kid's leg and slammed him into the ground, he then looked up to see Nikal with his hand outstretched, light pulsing from his hand, the next thing he saw was Nikal releasing the charged ball of energy…right into his face, he went sprawling backward, knocked unconscious by the blast. Nikal turned back, looking at Polaris; he had gotten up, and was starting to charge a Ki blast.
"I'm not going to lose to some freak like you." His hands started to glow. "I'm going to kill you, and then I'm going to burn your life to ashes."
Nikal decided he had had enough, aimed himself at Polaris, and started charging the attack he had prepared for a moment like this. Purple light started to surround Nikal, focusing in his chest and hands, he then slowly began to start shaking, he had never really used this attack with all this power at his disposal and because of that was unprepared for the power surge that came instantly to him. He put his hands at a 10 and 2 position, as if trying to control the surge, and then he threw them to his sides, fists clenched. Polaris by this time had formed a sphere about the size of his torso and was aiming it towards Nikal, and then he said. "Ion cannon, Fire!" Nikal was already prepared though.
"DOOMLASER!" Screamed Nikal as he fired his attack.
The blast was immense. The entire block was consumed in light as the two fighters struggled to gain an advantage, Polaris was putting out more power than expected, he would have easily take out at least 10 of Frieza's soldiers with the attack, and he seemed to be making ground.
"Hehe…I hope you're prepared, my father taught me this attack, and nobody has ever been able to take it down." He then noticed that he couldn't see Nikal's blast, except when he looked directly into his own, as if the beam was precision cutting into the attack, this was immediately followed by the purple beam hitting him in the chest, sending him flying backwards into a wall.
Nikal lowered his arms, knowing the fight was over; he looked over to his opponent. Polaris sat there, too scared to move for a moment, then he picked himself up, backed away, and ran as fast as he could all the way to his home, where he promptly cried in his mother's arms for 3 hours. Nikal stood there, having just scared away a local bully, he felt somewhat pleased with himself, but beyond that, he felt in awe. He couldn't believe the amount of power that was surging through him, he could feel it pulsing, trying to escape, and he also was confused about where these strange clothes had come from. It wasn't as if they had been there before, they simply appeared.
Must be from the fusion. Nikal then looked up to Corvin, she was watching him, her eyes wide; he walked over to her and reached out with his hand.
"You okay?" she was silent for a few seconds before saying.
"Wait, if you could do that the whole time, why haven't you beaten him to a pulp before?"
"I had no idea that I could do that, not until today at least."
"Oh…so…thanks I guess…" she then got up, leaned over, and kissed Nikal on the cheek before waving goodbye and leaving. It is very hard to turn a deep shade of red when your skin color is grey and green, but Nikal managed it, blushing while he sat there in shock as to what just happened.
Nikal looked around. Everyone was staring at him, either scared, or impressed (That was mostly the nobles), then he looked at his father. Taalon was shocked, to say the least; he knew that Nikal would grow up to be powerful, maybe one day even stronger than Frieza, but he, being one of the few Icejins that could simply sense power; he was almost scared to approach his son. He walked up slowly, looking at Nikal in a half proud, half scolding manner, before finally speaking. "Nikal…I told you…I told you not to lose control." Nikal looked down, somewhat ashamed of himself. Taalon then smiled. "But you know, I don't think I could be more proud."
"I'm impressed, Taalon, it seems your son is worthy of my attention."
Taalon looked to Frieza. "My lord, I don't think you have been properly introduced, this is my son, Nikal." He turned to Nikal. "Nikal, this is Frieza, our ruler." Nikal stood there, completely in awe.
"It…it's an honor to meet you sir."
"Likewise, now, I do believe you were the child who was fused at birth, correct?"
"Y…yes sir."
"I thought as much, and I assume that what you're wearing is some kind of garb designed for the fusion?"
Nikal looked down, once again studying himself, the garb didn't exactly look like standard issue Icejin armor, it looked baggy, and loose fitting, but it seemed to fit to him like glue. He looked back to Frieza. "I assume so sir, I'm going to be honest, I haven't ever done this before, tap into my power, I mean."
"Well, you made quite a show of doing so, I must say, I'm impressed, keep at that and you might be as strong as, maybe my brother Cooler, but that's a long way off."
Let's just hope he doesn't realize that he is stronger than I'm letting on.
Nikal smiled at him, he felt as if he were unstoppable, in all honesty, had every right to, and he had just gotten a compliment…from Frieza, that's not something that happens every day. "Thank you sir, I promise, I'll get stronger so that I can show you one day, and then, maybe you can show me some things." The last part was said almost as a whisper.
"Oh? And what might I show you exactly?"
"Well…maybe you could show me some of your techniques, if it isn't too much to ask, Lord Frieza."
Frieza smiled at him, by this time he had calmed down and was starting to get this child to idolize him, which, not only put him in the safe zone, but also giving him future access too possibly the most powerful warrior he would ever see. "Well, I guess we could see about that, once you have proven yourself, we will see." Nikal's face lit up with joy, he quickly bowed goodbye before he rushed home to tell his mother the whole story.
This left Frieza and Taalon alone; they stood there for a few minutes, neither speaking, then Frieza broke the silence.
"Well, Taalon, it seems you were holding out on me, after all."
"Lord Frieza, I had no idea that he was that powerful, if I had I would have alerted you immediately, I swear-."
"Hold you excuses, Taalon; I know you wouldn't have told me even if you did know." Taalon became silent. Frieza continued. "It seems that your son has reached a level that my men wouldn't even dream of, making him basically untouchable, which leaves only you. Frieza raised his hand. "So, what will we have to do about that?" Taalon closed his eyes, once again preparing for the end (This is like the 5th time now, I think), but it never came, he opened his eyes to see Frieza smirking at him, and then start laughing.
"Honestly Taalon, did you really think I would be stupid enough to kill you right now?"
"What…what do you mean?"
"Well, let's put it this way, if I were to kill you now; what would be the first thing your son would do?"
"He…he would most likely go on a rampage to avenge me." Said Taalon, finally starting to see where Frieza was going.
"Very good, Taalon, now, at his level he would be extremely dangerous, even for me, so, I intend to keep him as loyal as possible, do you understand?"
"Ye…yes Lord Frieza."
"Good, then I believe that everything is in order, now all I have to do is explain this to the media." Frieza sighed. "This is going to take a while." He muttered as he walked off, explaining the events to the reporters surrounding him, Taalon watched for a bit, trying to discern what Frieza was telling the press, he couldn't actually get close enough to hear properly, but it seemed that Frieza had convinced them that everything was fine. Taalon started to head home, thinking about the events of the day. Nikal now knows of his past, he has tapped into his power, and, somewhat to Taalon's discomfort, has put their family back on Frieza's radar.
Oh well, I'll just have to be more careful from now on.
When he got home, he was greeted to Celestin clonking him on the head with the nearest weapon she could find…the hammer he had dropped earlier that day.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS ABOUT NIKAL DESTROYING THE STREET, THE HELL WERE YOU DOING!"
"Celestin, calm down, he slipped away from me during the parade, I was searching for him when all this happened."
She took a deep breath, looking back to Nikal, who had been watching the whole thing, she said. "Honey, is this true?"
"Yes mother." He said, ashamed.
"Nikal, please tell me what happened, fully this time."
Nikal then explained then entire events of the day, from the threat at school to the transformation. The two parents listened intently, not asking questions until he had finished. "Son, who is this friend you mentioned, were they someone from school."
"Yes, she has been helping me with the other kids, why?"
"Well, we just haven't heard about them befo-…you just said "she"."
"Yeah, is that important?"
Taalon had a confused look on his face, while Celestin had a mischievous smile; she looked back to Nikal with a smirk. "So, what's her name?"
"Corvin, why do you ask, exactly? I don't see why it's so important."
"I'm just wondering what the name of my future daughter-in-law is." She said with a smug grin. (I swear, this woman is worse than Chichi)
Nikal froze, wide eyed; he had just realized what she was implying. "Mom, no, it is not like that, I swear." He said, blushing redder than Jeice.
"Oh come on honey; at least tell me she's pretty."
Nikal looked at her unamused. "I'm going to bed. I'll see you guys in the morning." He got up and started walking to his room, when he got to the doorframe he muttered, so quiet that no one could hear him. "More than you could know." Then he closed the door.
He got to his room and sat down on his bed, thinking about all the things that had happened to him that day. He still couldn't believe the story about the fusion, he sat there, wondering how his, no, their life would have been if it went differently, then he remembered, he was still wearing the fusion garb.
Oh screw it, I'll just wear I to school tomorrow, it'll give me something to talk about at least.
And with that thought, he fell asleep, exhausted from the events of the day.
