The Tournament Begins

The tournament started like all tournaments did, with an announcer trying to get the crowd worked up. However this one was different because the announcer was taking too long and got blasted by five different people before getting on with the actual tournament.

The woman that had stood next to Verta, whom I had learned was called Salina, was already in the ring dressed in Sayajin combat armor and black spandex body suit. She was starting to get impatient with the announcer as well but fortunately for the announcer he had gotten to the part when he introduces the competitors.

The guards that had been with me since the regeneration room incident had given me some space and were now waiting for the fight to start from the stands. Vegeta and his family were being treated like the royalty that they were by the locals.

As I entered the arena the crowd erupted in commotion. Some were cheering me to win; others were calling for my death. I never took my eyes off of my opponent. I knew that she would be powerful by Sayajin standards if her guards were as powerful as Frieza. Our eyes locked and for a moment electricity could be seen sparking between us. The announcer luckily had noticed this and decided to vacate the arena. We didn't wait for the starting bell although it sounded shortly after the hundredth blow was landed. She was quite strong. I judge her to be about the android's strength at full power. I stayed at her level not letting her land a blow against me. Energy blasts flew just as fast as punches and kicks in the match. I had to admit she wasn't a slouch when it came to her fighting technique but I have had enough of toying with her. I started to increase the power of my attacks to the point where she could no longer keep up and started to get pummeled.

I charged at her to finish the match when I received a very interesting shock. Her hair and eyes had changed color, and she had a golden flaming aura circling around her.

"I know that you know what this is. Now feel the power of a true super Sayajin!" Salina said charging at me.

A swift blow across my face turned my head to face away from her before a punch in the gut bent me over. She then tried for a double fisted slam to the back but to her surprise met only air. She looked around to try and find me but failed to think third-dimensionally. She didn't notice me floating directly above her charging my father's trademark technique until it was too late. I shoved my hands towards her just as she realized I was above her. She caught the blast squarely in the chest before she could mount some kind of defense. A violent explosion racked the stadium as some of the walls started cracking from the stresses of the explosion. As the dust cloud started to settle I knew that she was still able to fight. I may have caught her by surprise but she still had enough power to survive the blast.

Evidently she wasn't the patient type because she burst out of the dust cloud, minus her Sayajin armor but still fully clothed in her body suit. She was breathing heavily, a look of determination was on her face. She charged at me with her fist drawn back, throwing a supersonic punch into my face which I didn't block. Her hand hit my face like it was a brick wall. I smiled slightly before doubling her over with a punch to the stomach. She fell to the ground holding her stomach trying to get air back into her lungs.

I waited patiently for her to regain herself before I made my next move. Finally regaining control over her ability to breathe Salina squared off with me again. She wasn't going to make the same mistake of underestimating me again. She studied me for a moment before sending a flurry of punches my direction. I blocked and parried each of the blows easily before starting an offensive of my own. Punches and energy blasts rained down on her from all angles as I moved too fast to be seen by her. She was reduced to a mobile punching bag in mere moments. I had had enough of this fight in knocked her out cold and out of the ring.

I was immersed in awed silence. The crowd, minus Vegeta and family, all sat there with their mouths open in shock. There was the first super Sayajin they had seen in years and I had defeated her without powering up fully let alone being a super Sayajin myself. I turned to look at Verta as he sat on his throne. A worried look crossed his face for a second before his usual staunch mask replaced it. He slowly lifted into the air and floated down to the arena before removing the cape attached to his armor. He powered up to super Sayajin before settling into a fighting stance.

"I've been looking forward to fighting you since I saw you on Namek, the time when you let loose on Frieza. That took some guts kid even for a Sayajin." Verta said smiling at my facial expression.

I was in utter shock. He had been there for the fight with Frieza. 'What else does he know about me?' I thought.

Being about as patient as his daughter, Verta attacked me. He hammered punch after punch into my body. Pausing every now and then to deliver a kick or an energy blast. The ferocity of his assault shocked me but I soon regained myself. I caught one of his punches, which brought his onslaught to an abrupt and immediate halt.

"So you're the one that wished the Sayajin race back to life. Interesting."

"Yes I am." He said with pride. "I cannot rule over a dead race, now can I?"

We started fighting again. I matched him blow for blow while I tried to glean some information from him.

"So you were on Namek before it was destroyed? How much of the fight did you see?" I said while countering blows meant to knock me out.

"I saw enough to know that the level of Super Sayajin was attainable." He said trying in vain to hit me.

He stopped suddenly and just looked at me with what had to be the Vegeta families smirk on his face. "And since then I have discovered that it can be surpassed." With a violent yell he powered up shooting his power beyond that of my current power by a large margin. I could feel him making the transformation. However he made one mistake. Like Vegeta, Trunks and my father he didn't properly attain the next level of super Sayajin. He increased his power but not his speed.

I smirked at this new revelation as he stopped powering up and his muscles stopped growing. I waited for him to make the first move then I would show him what a true super Sayajin can do. He took pride in his accomplishment as the entire stadium was reduced to silence. Not only were there now super Sayajins but there was a level beyond a super Sayajin.

"So kid, scared yet?" he asked cockily.

I just shook my head in shame he didn't know the true power of that level and probably never would. Each level must be achieved through desire, need, and must be preceded by a severe loss. He only had one maybe two of the three.

"It's pitiful that you think that is a true level beyond super Sayajin." I said my voice steady, almost sounding like a parent correcting a child after doing only half a job.

"This coming from the boy who has yet to attain super Sayajin."

He charged at me and laid me flat with a series of punches and kicks. He stood over my body as I lay on the ground letting him think I was hurt or even out for the count till he gave me an opportunity. It didn't take long for him to let down his guard and I took the moment. I powered up to just under super Sayajin and uppercut him laying him out flat on the ground.

He got up quickly and looked at me shocked. I no longer had the black hair and black eyes that I started this match with. My golden aura accented my bright gold hair and teal eyes. But I didn't stop at level one. I kept going letting the power I had earned over the years flow through me. As I did the memories of the battles that brought me this power came with it. The first battle with Vegeta, the battles with the Ginu force, Frieza, Cell, and Brolly all flashed in my mind. I let loose the bonds I had set on level 2 and would show Verta what a true super Sayajin 2 could do. My muscles doubled in size but so did my frame. Power radiated off of me like water over a waterfall.

Verta was visibly shaken at the revelation that not only could I go super Sayajin but also go level 2 and was still more powerful than he was. He then looked at me with distain at the ease of which I went level 2. For him it was a struggle to achieve but for me it was as effortless as breathing. Although there was strain to maintain it achieving it was simple.

He started things off with a flurry of punches no my midsection only to find it akin to pounding into a solid steel wall. I grabbed his shoulders and head butted him before dropkicking him across the arena. He peeled himself out of the arena wall and flew at me in a rage.

"I knew I infected the wrong Sayajin," he said under his breath just barely loud enough for me to hear.

"What do you mean by that?" I asked countering blow after blow and connecting a few of my own.

"Oh please. A mysterious heart virus comes out of nowhere and only strikes your father. Come on I thought you were smarter then that. Please tell me that you put 2 and 2 together and know that I was the one who sent Nappa and Radditz after you?" there was nothing but shocked silence from me as he continued, "too bad it appears I've given you more credit than was due, oh well."

I was in shock. 'He created that virus and infected Goku and in turn Chichi. This man was responsible for tearing apart my family and killing my mother.' I saw red once again. The feeling from two years ago came forward I let loose a blood curdling yell that had Vegeta cringing in his seat. My power skyrocketed at such a rate that Verta was knocked back. Changes took place once more and these I had no control over. My hair once again grew to reach the back of my knees, only it wasn't the gold color of super Sayajin. It was BLOOD RED. My size increased once again as my muscles doubled again and my frame grew to accommodate the additional mass. My eyes were pools of hellfire; shadows and flames danced in concert with one another. Slight horns presented themselves on my temples but didn't break the skin.

My outfit changed from the training gi that I had been wearing to the same black vest and pants that I had changed into two years ago. Flames replaced the usual energy aura around me, as I looked more demonic than Sayajin.

The power of this form surpassed all of my others combined. Nothing in the universe could touch me and they wouldn't want to. The rage I felt was controlled by only one thing, the need for revenge. The target… VERTA!

In less than a microsecond I was across the arena letting loose into Verta's body. Punches hard enough to shatter planets into his kidneys, kicks fast enough to not reflect any light, and ki blasts with enough energy to cancel out a black hole fell on him like raindrops in a heavy downpour. Gashes and bruises littered his body as I pounded him into a quivering mass of flesh.

With one final blow I knocked Verta straight into the sky. Cupping my hands at my side I started gathering energy. But this was not to be my father's trademark attack it was one completely unlike any that had been unleashed before. I finished gathering energy and thrust my hands forward. "DEMONIC REVENGE" the words came from my mouth in multiple voices, most deep and ominous and others just filled with rage including my natural voice.

The only evidence of anything leaving my hands were the distortions in the air as the beam flew towards its intended target. As the beam hit Verta an ungodly scream rose from his body. Instead of exploding like most of the attacks I produce this one entered his body and started eating him from the inside. When there was nothing left but his skin and his mind his body exploded raining gore on all those below. I could feel Verta's soul not only being destroyed, but also almost completely erased from existence.

The silence that surrounded me in the arena was so thick it was tangible. I looked at the crowd gathered in the arena and saw the same expression on their faces… fear. They had just seen their own king become a more powerful super Sayajin moments before I had reduced him to nothing but a memory. One face stood out in the crowd. Bulma's. Her face showed utter amazement and pity. She was amazed that the sweet young boy that she had known had turned into the monster before her. I couldn't stand to look at her, or to be looked at by her so I took off and unreal speeds. I didn't stop when I hit the atmosphere. I was moving fast enough that I was back on earth in seconds. I landed in a secluded spot in the middle of nowhere and finally powered down. Despite the events that happened in the last hour and a half I went into a deep meditative trance.

Thoughts were gone from my mind as I thought of nothing but the peace around me. The rage I had felt moments ago gone. 'That was it! Rage was the key to that form." I thought as I looked over the memories of the times I had used those forms, though not by choice. A sense of closure came upon me as I realized that I had avenged my mother's death and killed the man who had caused me pain. Stretching out my senses I saw all around me. Everything pulsed with life as I watched the intricate dance of nature's energy. Finally after more than two years I was at peace with myself.
