Chapter 6

Disclaimer: I don't own DB

For the next 10 months, Raditz taught Masuto how to control the ape transformation. For most Saiyans, it would take about 6 months to master. However, it was very difficult for Masuto, since he's only half Saiyan, and his father isn't a very good teacher. He was still nowhere near mastering the transformation.

Also, Masuto got up before his father everyday to train his weakness. He only had about an hour every morning, before his father gets up. He still hadn't mastered it, but his power doesn't drop to nearly zero any more. He still has a long way to go.

Today, was different then most days, his father was not out ready to train him. So, Masuto went to investigate. He found his father fueling up his space pod. Masuto knew what this meant, his father was about to leave.

About twenty minutes later, he was ready. "Remember son, next time I come, it will be to get you," Raditz said. "Right," Masuto replied. The door on the pod closed and his father took off into space. "Good, he's gone," Masuto said to himself. Now, he has to put his plan into action.

He was going to set off on his own. After watching his father fuel up the space pod many times, he could do it easily. So, with the remaining fuel, he fueled up his new pod. He waited 3 days after his father left, before setting off. He got into the pod and left his life behind.

It took him a month before he got to a planet with life. "Let's see," Masuto thought to himself, "Planet Xakra, I wonder what I'll discover here. Now, how do I land this thing?" "Landing sequence initiated," came from the pod. The pod also had a something for landing, but Masuto didn't know how it worked.

The pod was landing and threw Masuto all around the pod. It slammed into the ground tossing Masuto even more. The door opened and Masuto was upside down. He quickly got out of the pod. He looked around to observe his surroundings.

The sky was dark grey filled with clouds that have a lot of lightning traveling between them. The ground was also dark grey and free of vegetation. "This place feels lifeless," Masuto said to himself. He was wearing Saiyan armor that his father gave to him. It had the arm cuffs(I know that's not right, please correct me), but not the leg cuffs.

He also had a scouter that his father gave to him. "Now, who's on this planet?" Masuto asked himself. He activated his scouter to see what powers are out there. The majority were about 35-50. Then, his scouter picked up two equal powers of 1,000. They were the highest on the planet, by a lot.

He decided to check it out as he flew towards the powers. "Why are these powers so much higher then the rest?" Masuto wondered. All he knew was he was going to find out. He flew for a while, and noticed something disturbing. Masuto decided to land and check it out.

His mind wasn't playing tricks on him. So, he decided to ask the locals what had happened. Deciding it would be better if he walked, he set off on foot. After several hours of trudging, Masuto eventually came upon a village. He noticed that the village had two distinct races.

One race was green, had oval-like heads, lizard-like eyes, and hands with three fingers. The other was a human-like race with a few, distinct differences. For one, all have the same, orange hair. Another, they had the same very light, almost white, skin tone. They had a few other differences, slightly different facial features, and body shapes. Both had almost equal power levels.

One of the male human-like ones came up to talk to Masuto. "Welcome, we've never seen anyone like you," the man said, "We don't usually get many visitors, much less children. Anyway, I'm the village chief." "My name is Masuto," Masuto replied. "Welcome, Masuto, so what race do you happen to be?" asked the chief.

"Well, I'm not just one race. I'm half Saiyan, half human," replied Masuto. "Interesting," the chief started, "So, what brings you here?" "Nothing really, I'm just exploring the universe," Masuto responded. "Just one more question," the chief stated, "Are you sure its safe for child to explore this universe alone?"

"I can take care of my self," retorted Masuto. Just then, Masuto's stomach let out a loud growl. The chief laughed, "You seem hungry, come with me, I'll have the chef's prepare a meal." Masuto couldn't refuse a free meal, so of course he agreed.

The village wasn't too big and in a matter of minutes, they arrived at the chief's house.(It was about three times the size of capsule corp.) "Your house is huge!" Masuto said in amazement. "You should see the grand palace in Central City," replied the chief, "It takes up 30% of the city and you can't even see the top from the ground. If you look real closely, you can se it from here and its 1,300 miles east of here."

Masuto looked east and saw the faint shadow of a massive building. "Wow! I've never seen such a tall building," he was in awe as any off-world traveler would be. He joined the chief in the dining hall. A feast was already prepared. Masuto quickly dug in. In ten minutes, the table was empty.

"That was delicious," Masuto said with a now full stomach, "Oh yeah, I've got a question. I was going past an area and noticed something very disturbing." "Allow me to explain," the chief started, "its like this…"
